One of my sisters was telling me about another teacher she knows.
The teacher's daughter, son-in-law, and (age 2-3) granddaughter are all infected with #COVID-19. They live in a rural area, so they thought they'd be safe attending gatherings (a wedding reception) and arranging play dates for the child.

Another reason to wear a mask: BAL sounds like it could be painful, and definitely uncomfortable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchoalveolar_lavage [en wikipedia org]

"People who refuse to wear a face mask are likely to have sociopathic tendencies, a Brazilian study has claimed.
Researchers found that anti-social behaviour is a common trait amongst those who prefer not to wear coverings amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Professor Fabiano Koich Miguel and colleagues at the Universidade Estadual de Londrina researched the link between compliance with face mask wearing and ‘anti-social traits’ in a survey of around 1,600 people in Brazil. " -- https://nu.federati.net/url/274497 [metro co uk]

Took a while because of privacy rules, but I think $EMPLOYER is about to issue policies around company-provided #COVID-19 testing. Unfortunately, I don't think they're making allowance for the fact that test results are for a specific point in time, so a "clean bill of health" on one day's test does not necessarily apply two weeks later.

*Sigh*
Obvious interference by someone other than the public health folks. If we're going to slow and stop the spread of #COVID-19, we need _more_ testing, not less, and we need to re-test people that have already been tested before, because infected / not-infected is a point-in-time state, not a lifetime state.

This was another treatment that I first heard about being used in China and South Korea.

Cloth masks do protect the wearer. Breathing in less #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus means you get less sick.

Just below 800K deaths so far. #COVID-19. US share is 22%.

@geniusmusing The list of other damage the disease causes gets longer and more serious, even as head-in-sand #anti-maskers get more resistant to measures meant to curtail #COVID-19's spread.

I guess I should be glad that #USA isn’t the only place where #anti-maskers rant and threaten. This one is in #Australia. https://nu.federati.net/url/273869

You can’t make this stuff up. More than 800 #GA students told to self-isolate after being exposed to #SARS-CoV-2, the #coronavirus that causes #COVID-19, at school. And some people think this is right time to reopen the schools!

@bthall sent me this link: Nearly 100K new #COVID-19 cases among US children in last two weeks of July. https://nu.federati.net/url/273836 [www nbcnews com]
Article notes that different states are using different definitions of “child”, so some cut it off at 14 years of age, while others may go as high as 24.

9 students from #GA high school test positive for #COVID-19 after returning to school
The overwhelming majority of these students will not have serious illness, but they do have parents and grandparents at home. This may be a good time to re-think our schools-as-overcrowded-prisons-where-we-confine-people-for-being-too-young system of education.
