This is in their opinion section, but most of the things in this person’s post and in its comments were covered in the TWiV podcast episode I listened to last night. Cardiovascular damage, possibly due to cytokine storms, affecting younger and healthier people.

My county is having drive up testing for #COVID-19, but they're still only testing people that meet the criteria. We need widespread testing that includes people who have no reason to suspect they have #2019-nCoV.

What's the chance that Kim Jong-un and Daniel Ortega, the two communist dictators who've gone missing recently, are sitting together in a shared underground bunker, waiting for the #COVID-19 pandemic to die down before they are around people again?

The #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus that causes #COVID-19 can also infect the immune system's T-cells (similar to what #HIV does).

Possibility that saliva sample tests for #COVID-19 may be accurate enough to be used in place of deep nasal swab tests.

Earlier this month, workers in meat packing plants started to get sick with #COVID-19. According to some reports I've seen, workers are shoulder-to-shoulder on the processing line, so safe separation distances are not possible.

Looking at https://rt.live today, it looks like eight states ( #WI, #MN, #IN, #KS, #IA, #DE, #NE, #ND ) are still seeing positive growth in the number of cases of #COVID-19 ... based on the number of people infected by each person who is infected. Most of the rest should be seeing slight declines. I think "open up quickly and get back to work" is a mistake, but once state officials see this, they'll immediately become sensitive to business & financial interests that are wanting to get back to work.

I'm noticing that the local news media have a lot fewer news items (other than #COVID-19) now that fewer people are out and about to commit or be victimized by crimes. Can we extend the lockdown for another decade or two?

Someone else was wondering when they first became aware of the #COVID-19 outbreak. My memory says December of 2019, but I can't find anything I wrote or posted about it before the 2nd week of January 2020 (when someone tipped me that their sources were saying the outbreak in Wuhan would be a worldwide plague).

The Inquiry, BBC's audio program, has had some really interesting episodes about the #COVID-19 pandemic ... they pose one question to four experts, who answer in about 22-23 minutes.

WHO: No evidence that #COVID-19 infection confers immunity from reinfection.
The World Health Organization issued the warning to deter national governments from issuing "immunity passports" that proclaim someone's safety.
"At this point in the pandemic, there is not enough evidence about the effectiveness of antibody-mediated immunity to guarantee the accuracy of an 'immunity passport' or 'risk-free certificate'".

Finished today’s #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ) already. Good morning and #TZAG.
Yesterday, I drank double my usual amount of (decaffeinated) coffee and my usual amount of water, as the resurgent cold kept converting fluids into mucus. I felt pretty unproductive as I coughed and sneezed the entire time I was awake from 03:00 to 22:00 ... but I guess I did get some things done:
* Installed #Lubuntu 20.04 in place of 18.04—because of some deep changes, upgrading was not recommended—and then installed some of the things I’m currently working on learning
* I found an “Intro to SciLab” slideshow, so I installed #SciLab on the Win10 machine and started stepping along with the slideshow. There’s still quite a bit to go, but it seems doable. I’m considering downloading some #COVID-19 data and trying to see whether there are better ways to present it than most of the present sites are using.
* We had our second family-wide #videochat on #JitsiMeet last evening. It is really targeted at my siblings (including the extended groups that grew up in different states). I dropped out when it was time to talk to #GS3 on #Wire ... he’s got a new area to explore, so he and the granddoggy are spending a lot of time searching the recesses of the enclosed porch.
Today seems to be a little better so far, as there’s a lot less runny nose and sneezing (no coughing yet today).

"Big data" and visualizations make everything look simple, but #COVID-19, like everything else in the real world, is messy. OP argues that the data is noisy, contradictory, and incomplete ... and that it will be years before we can reliably draw any conclusions from it.

#sonOne’s $EMPLOYER was purchased by a competitor, but he believes that he has a good chance of being kept because he works hard and knows his stuff. He sometimes writes tutorials for their NOC staff.
#sonTwo is delivering #pizza and working at a large retailer ... 60+ hours / week ... almost making what his job paid.
#Daddy_A is the stay-at-home dad ... his wife had only recently returned to work before the #COVID-19 outbreak, but she’s been able to work from home. His next few back surgeries are postponed (there’s some sort of electronic nerve stimulation device they want to implant in a couple of places to relieve pain and give back feeling in his legs).
