My Dad pulled through and is conscious again after being in a medically induced coma for days. He is still on a ventilator, but they think he'll be able to come off of it in a day or two possibly. He improved very quickly and suddenly after being treated with a new drug combo.

Glad to hear it. Do you happen to know which drug combo exactly?

Welp, the Wuhan Biolab story is no longer a conspiracy but just discussed with reporters at length at the white house press briefing.

Trump:  "More and more we're hearing the story" that coronavirus began in a research lab in Wuhan.  "We're doing a very thorough examination of what happened".

This was his answer to the question if he had heard about the theory and read the reports on it.

deaths rising, new cases peaking (proabablly due to less testing)

[ToxicAdam]

Deaths always lag confirmed cases/hospitalizations. Even though it’s the more dramatic number, it’s not the one you should focus on when talking about peaks or predicting the curve.

Going by the comments, blood donation testing returned 3% of donors with antibodies for the Netherlands.

Imperial College paper also guessed 3% of total population for France.

He claimed both things about deaths.  That they “may be peaking” but are rising fast.  Just seemed a little funny lol

Daily numbers are peaking/acceleration of daily growth is coming to a stop. Total number are still rising fast because the daily numbers are still at their max to date. (Curve of) daily numbers are more useful to judge the development of the outbreak while development of total numbers is useful to judge the total scope of the corona outbreak. So both comments are correct, if a bit confusing in the close proximity of a twitter thread.

you'd have to stretch the meaning of "semi normal" pretty far to make that true

Lockdowns and social distancing (whether mandated or voluntary) will slow the spread if they are adhered to, but it doesn't erase the virus.

[Rufus]

Semi-normal, as in not knee-capping your economy by isolating everyone instead of small pockets.

well at least we know that keeping primary schools open isn't driving the spread significantly according to the experts who has studied it

Laschet gambling on that study to rescue his chances to run for Kanzler is pretty disgusting. I guess it's even more tempting now that the CDU chances to win the next election skyrocketed due to the crisis; can't imagine the Greens to rebound with the economic crisis coming and the SPD will stay a walking corpse.

Although I think there are more studies than the Heinsberg study that support the thesis that children and especially small children are a minor factor in the spread of the virus.

Here is a study from iceland where kids below 10 seem to have a significantly lower risk to be tested positive, both in targeted testing and in open testing: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2006100

Only speculation from me, but it seems likely that infections are mainly transmitted from symptomatic people, especially from people that cough/transmit larger amounts of virus. People that get infected by small doses also seem to develop more mild course of disease. As most infected kids expel only small doses of virus, it becomes even more unlikely that groups of little kids infect each other, even if their behaviour can't be controlled.

Ontario
Number of cases: 8,961 (+514)
Deaths: 423 (+38)
Currently under investigation: 4,323


The number of new cases per day has been steady (or slightly increasing) for a long time.

[Madrun Badrun]

We still have very restrictive and limited testing measures so I don't think it's a good statistic to estimate actual spread.  Deaths, ICUs, and hospitalization usage are much better statistics (and the ones we actually care about in the end), however, these have the two-week lag.  I might be hopeful if the number of positive cases was steady while testing was exponentially increasing but that's not the case.

Schools who didn't start preparations yet should be burned to the ground anyway.

Besides you don't have to come to school after those 3 days. They're not going back to the usual schedule and mainly offer options in spread out classes for those that are writing their finals or who are about to gradudate.
However, no one is forced to go yet.
The NRW education department got everything written down on their page with alot of details. The way they communicated everything, especially by Laschet is woeful.
In general I think it would be okay if you focused on the graduates and let them finish everything. Still pretty weird that they're trying to push their own agenda despite all the other states following one roadmap together.
There are still gonna be cases where you've gotta adjust things. I doubt they're gonna push through with Heinsberg

The situation in Quebec care homes is really dire - 1200 staff are sick and they are asking the military for relief.

[VomKriege]

The situation in Quebec care homes is really dire - 1200 staff are sick and they are asking the military for relief.

It's probably gotta be similar everywhere. France care homes account for 35% of fatalities now and I think the reporting is still not complete. Wouldn't be surprised it's half by the end. It's probably overestimated a bit because France, AFAIK, just assume all deaths with symptoms since the start of the epidemic is COVID if they have two positives in any of those institutions. I believe Canada does something along those lines.

You had that horrific case of an elder's home in Spain where there wasn't staff anymore when the army went to it and the residents and dead bodies were just... There. Police receiving a tip and finding 17 COVID related deaths in a New Jersey institution. Sweden hard hit there too, etc..

A controversy in the UK because PPE suppliers said they couldn't take orders for Scotland and other home nations under orders from English Health to prioritise supply to England as far as care home staff was concerned. It's been denied officially but there's apparently written evidence one such supplier did interpret something from the administration like that.

For all the talk of "multigenerational homes in Italy with la mama cooking di pasta, that's why they got hit so hard, it's a me journalist Mario !" I suspect concentrating elders may probably be the riskier of the two. In retrospect it's obvious canceling visits should have happened earlier (mid Feb. perhaps...) and there wasn't tests for the staff or residents anyway.

He's clearly talking about the overall mortality rate. The CFR for children is below 0.1%. Somehow if every school-age child got infected with a CFR exactly at 0.1% (it's probably much lower because serious cases are disproportionately tested), 50,000 children would die.
