^ They ARE promoting panic, since they are talking about a threat that you can not shoot down with a gun... unless it has already taken hold of your kids.
I don't think "they're" promoting 'panic'. More like advising us, and hopefully creating informed concern. If it is a result of covid infection, even losing one kid, related and/or known to me, or not, is one too many, especially if following sound advice has been ignored, poo-pooed away, sloughed off.
Wear a mask. Keep your distance. Wash your paws. Protect yourself, and those around you, Including kids.
Reduce the number of those who wrongly think, and blithely shrug, "No prob!" They are the ones aiding, and abetting, an invisible, Known, mass killer.
The new reaction has made headlines across the globe, but John stresses that it’s not a call for panic. “This is obviously still a very, very rare presentation,” she says, adding that she has heard of approximately 30 cases in Europe, 15 in New York and under two dozen others. “We’re talking less than a hundred children, even though we know there have been millions of cases of COVID-19,” John says. “So I think we can all be pretty reassured that this is an exceptionally uncommon outcome for children.”
Ontarians have died because thousands of surgeries and procedures were delayed to clear hospitals for a catastrophic surge of COVID-19 cases that hasn’t materialized, says Health Minister Christine Elliott.
The US (3816)has now surpassed Italy (3547) for total cases per million (with about 24K tests per million versus Italy's 38K tests per million). It is closing in on Belgium and Ireland, both with much smaller populations but very high caseloads per million and a ways to go to reach Spain's 5426 cases per million (with 41K tests per million).
The US also has a huge number of active (975K) versus recovered (213K) cases at this point, compared to Italy where the numbers are now about equal or Spain where recovered cases now far outnumber active cases.
Unless some kind of magic happens, this suggests that the US is going to be seeing horrific numbers over the next month. While the US is now reporting a dip in new active cases...this number will be less and less trustworthy in the absence of the scale of testing like in Spain....and reports that some states are now purposefully under-reporting or telling coroners not to report COVID deaths.
At some point....I suspect that even the US will start to complain about other 'allies' like Russia and Brazil fudging their numbers because the US is going to look like a huge failure for Trump while the minimal deaths will look like a huge victory for Putin and Bolsonaro.
Travelers leaving New York City for various locations around the U.S. were responsible for much of the spread of a second wave of the coronavirus in the country, according to findings from scientists.
The New York Times reported Thursday that researchers tracking the genetic makeup of the virus now believe that many scattered outbreaks in localities around the U.S. had their roots in New York, where city residents fled lockdown orders and likely spread the disease.
“It means that we missed the boat early on, and the vast majority in this country is coming from domestic spread,” Kristian Andersen, a microbiology and immunology professor at Scripps Research, told the Times. “I keep hearing that it’s somebody else’s fault. That’s not true. It’s not somebody else’s fault, it’s our own fault.”
There's another graphic that I think the Times did that clearly shows that NYC is distorting the US numbers making it look like the US numbers are getting better....The trend lines for cases per day shows the rather interesting phenomenon of what is happening in the US relative to other hard hit nations and what is happening within the US as NY cases drop and the other areas of the country increase..
The genetic studies of the virus are telling the story of how the virus got so out of control in the US.
No, it wasn't China. So, all the talk about the "travel ban" on China is pointless. Most of the active cases in the US originated in New York. Most of the cases in New York originated in Europe.
When the epidemic got out of control in New York City, thousands of people left NYC to go elsewhere. Some return to homes in New York State but many were consultants and tourists who left New York and returned home to other states.
Travelers from New York City sparked second coronavirus wave: report [The Hill]
In Australia,
i believe most of the cases are not from China because we banned flights from china early.
Researchers in London, Ont., say they’ve been able to treat COVID-19 with a specialized dialysis procedure, marking a global first in the fight against the novel coronavirus.
Millions of us are praying.
