My in-laws are in a nursing home in Chester County. In their last report to the families, they had 18 out of 162 patients infected, with 5 staff members infected.

 

UPDATE: Now 145 patients. 7 died and 7 are in the hospital. 10 have tested negative. 47 are infected with the virus. 7 are waiting on test results.

Sorry to hear of the progression. What I’ve yet to see or hear anyone report on is what should be the obvious spread within nuclear family units. With everybody sheltered at home, and presumably NOT wearing masks or staying socially distant from their spouse and kids....shouldn’t the virus be spreading like wildfire inside the home? Shouldn’t hospitals be seeing entire families being admitted? Or at least husbands and wives? I remember in the recent movie/classic book Little Women in which the one sister caught scarlet fever from a neighbor and they had to ‘send her away’ so she didn’t infect the entire family. Why isn’t this happening EVERYWHERE with Covid 19?

No because the symptoms can be very light or non existent for most people.

And this is what the lede or takeaway should be out of this presser.   But it won’t be, the media’s lede will be how Trump is supporting a government insurrection in the state of VA. And Michigan

Maryland has more that twice the infection rate vice Virginia.  Maryland initiated restrictions earlier that Virginia.  Maryland has more restrictions than Virginia.  Why is Trump tweeting about Virginia instead of Maryland?  Politics.  Maryland has a Republican Gov, all the other states you mention have Dems.  Trump is only interested in stirring his base and getting reelected.  Trump cares about Trump first last and always.

You would think, but maybe people are taking extra precautions. My one neighbor is not. They regularly have people over. She is a hair dresser and I think that she is running a salon out of their house.

That doesn’t answer the question. We’re talking hundreds of thousands of cases across the country. I’ve yet to hear of a single case where the husband and wife were both hospitalized, leaving kids with nowhere to go. Have you?

It’s actually the exact opposite. Because people are staying PUBLICLY distant I’m guessing that they’re staying PRIVATELY closer. I’d love it if one the ‘journalist’ gadflies would ask Dr Brix about this. I’m pretty sure she’d have a hypothesis.

Yes I have. On the news the other day. Both got it and were in hospital. Wife got better and husband died. They mentioned that they had seen multiple cases like this and were concerned because in each case, it was the husband who died.

OK, but that’s not been the norm. Not even close! If the virus is so contagious that you have to wipe down every surface in your office and grocery store, it stands to reason that virtually EVERY family with someone who was/is infected should see this transmission happening on a daily basis. But....we simply aren’t! Why?

  What's with all the turds here on a Saturday morning?  Did somebody finally remember to padlock the ***** booths closed at the adult novelty stores?

Nobody has that answer. Are you saying the virus is no big deal?

Those aren’t essential services and they are closed.

  Quite essential for Q Baby.  Otherwise he would suffer a stroke from a massive fluid build up.

We agree there for sure! But, you and I aren’t sitting there badgering the President of the United States trying to spark a grade school cat fight with the Governor of NY while the President is working to cure a nation wide health crisis. I’m going to hope NEITHER of us would be doing that.

I would ask him to move to the back and let the rest of the people on stage speak unless he was going to act like a grownup. But that’s the Catholic nun education speaking. I prefer Pence and the rest of the team on mike at those. They don’t get petty even when the questions are petty.

Not at all. Not trying to go there. I’m saying that something is going on there. There’s got to be a reason. Husbands and wives don’t share DNA. They are as biologically separate as the people you bump into in the grocery store. By now, two or three months into this, tens of thousands of wives should have transmitted it to their husbands. And if this is more prolific in men, shouldn’t we see cohabiting gay couples overrun with it?

of the families I know who live together and have it, everyone got it.

only if their symptoms dictate hospitalization, which most don’t.

It is. Lots of families trying to separate from the sick person but many have nowhere to go but home.

I don’t know. In my house over my lifetime, when one person gets a cold or flu, not everyone in the house does. Not sure why, but that has been the case.
