Hello everyone, and I had the opportunity to visit Cassandra at Buffalo Children's today. As mentioned she is off the Ecmo machine and doing most of the work. It will take some time for her to heal. S

You seem to be incapable of managing multiple thoughts.  The virus doesn't care about your beliefs and feelings. 

 

So it's highly disingenuous for public officials to berate and bar one portion of the population from engaging in activities that hold the same viral transmission risks as the encouraged protests.

 

Oh, please. You're acting like one day they let rioters run rampant destroying the city and the next day they welded the gates to a Jewish playground shut.

 

You're just another conspiracy dude.

  He was talking about you but could not say your name due to COC concerns.

  Why?  Because Japan does not have tens of thousands of Chinese running through it because of their recent history including the Second World War.  

 

Japan is closer to China than America lol ever look at a map? 

 

Chinese people in america have nothing to do wit how our virus spread. we got the european strain, the one AMERICAN tourists brought over after visiting Italy and Spain. damn you sound like an idiot.

  You should seriously consider returning you GED as you are ignorant beyond hope.  Fortunately, we are too smart to buy into your tripe.  Anyways, I will clue you in as the Italians got it from guest workers that originated in China.

The Moderna story is not that surprising. A few weeks is a small delay for something this rushed.  Hopefully they get it back on track.

 

Big case number (again) for Florida--big hospitalization number too, Rubio's quote yesterday notwithstanding: I'm sure they have been testing everyone for C-19 at the hospital for a while. This didn't start 8 days ago.

Trump told Fox Business on Wednesday: “I think we’re going to be very good with the coronavirus. I think at some point that’s going to, sort of, just disappear, I hope.”

 

?

 

At some point.  He'll probably turn out to be right - at some point.

...."contact with" is defined by 15 minutes within 6 feet of a Covid-19 infected person....so we should believe 100,000 people DAILY nationwide are in that group?.....something ain't passing the smell test.......

 

CDC guideline/definition:

Someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated.

Data are limited to precisely define the “prolonged exposure” to determine “close contact”, however 15 minutes of close exposure can be used as an operational definition for contact investigation. Factors to consider when defining close contact include proximity, the duration of exposure (e.g., longer exposure time likely increases exposure risk), whether the individual has symptoms (e.g., coughing likely increases exposure risk) and whether either the case patient or contact were wearing an N95 respirator (which can efficiently block respiratory secretions from contaminating others and the environment). At this time, differential determination of close contact for those using fabric face coverings is not recommended.

It's probably got nothing to do with how he got it.

Given our current population is about 330 million people it's not that much of a stretch.  Especially since the majority of cases are with younger people who are the most likely to frequent bars, night clubs, protests, gyms, etc...  Again, it's not a terrible thing that young people are being more exposed to this virus as it gets us closer to herd immunity.  Just stay the hell away from grandma for a month if you test positive.

is that real?  Or #FakeNews

 

I hope it is fake; however, I think the sentiment is real.

 

Edit: According to Snopes and other sites, it looks like it is not a real tweet
