LA county daily covid brief reported in the past month, hospitalizations for the age group from 0 to 17 increased 50%, the age group from 65+ decreased 12%.  That's a flip, 65+ has been in the crosshairs for a while.  

It’s easy to get to a 50% increase in an age group where numbers are so low to begin with. If there’s two 15 year olds in the hospital, and a third is added...well that’s a 50% increase without changing the actual number all that much.
 

Granted that’s an exaggeration but a 50% increase may or may not be a meaningful amount or trend. Presumably since there are no deaths in California in that age group, the number of hospitalizations must also be exceedingly low.

In other words, I bet a 12% decrease in 65+ amounts to more people than a 50% increase 0-17.

My brother in law has to be tested regularly for his job and Monday morning he tested positive on the rapid test. Our whole family including my daughter, son in law and two grand daughters spent the day on the lake. We also spent the night and made breakfast in the morning before returning home. Wife and I are scheduled for testing tomorrow afternoon. Brother in law has no symptoms whatsoever.

Curious about other areas plans for Fall School.  Here, we have 3 major school districts and all 3 have different plans.

 

1.  2 days seated school, 3 days virtual OR 5 days virtual - District 1

2.  5 Days seated, mask required OR 5 days virtual - District 2

3.  5 Days seated, no mask requirement (but encouraged) OR 5 days virtual - District 3

 

We are not considered a hot spot area of MO BTW.

They are “starting out” with E-Learning here, the county I reside in just announced it today. Of course by “starting out”, we can assume they mean at least the rest of the year, if not much longer. Since they are clearly not following the science (one of their favorite terms), anything goes and the goal will keep changing.

All of this comes after many of the districts passed huge referendums back in the fall. Unfortunately you don’t need those multi-million dollar renovations for empty buildings. Hell, you don’t even need the buildings. Instead of pissing money away on ineffective E-learning “upgrades”, give the people our tax dollars back and let us use it for private schools that will actually teach kids. Because giving a 6 year old an iPad and expecting them to learn anything is outrageous.

 

Any time wasted with this is time that will never be recovered. It’s not a golf tournament or baseball season that we can shorten or continue to postpone without consequence.

These kids aren’t getting the proper education. Look at California where they made passing the bar easier. These are our future doctors and lawyers. Scary

Based on what I saw at both games, all the players will become sick and die.  Players weren't following the rules set forth by MLB. Chewing, spitting, licking fingers. Mound meetings were closer than six feet with no masks. Batter, catcher umpire closer than six feet.

 

Good experiment

 

Don't know how you play football with all the rules. Lineman are blowing in each others face every play

He had to keep the ball at least 6 feet away from the plate. Everyone knows the new rules.

Been playing since the beginning of June here. I may have licked my fingers a time or two or a few dozen times throwing BP. The worst part of it all is we can’t have sunflower seeds [emoji26]

We had one coach that spread it around to a couple of other adults. Kids have all been fine

2 consecutive 4 day periods adding a million world wide cases. Yea, a million cases every four days. 

 

Skip school for a year. So what you graduate at 19. What do they think would happen? Forget everything they learned? 

 (Isn't really about kids, is it?)

And deaths? You keep running scared.
