weatherwiz Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 There's been some pretty encouraging news regarding how long anti-bodies last post-COVID infection. Seems to be settling down some of the concerns early on about how long they persist. But apparently even in mild cases the results are looking promising. I also wonder how we continue to do so well in CT...considering how many other states continue to see things out of control. Not sure what's up with the blip circled but I don't recall any daily % numbers that high but we have been hovering around or below 1% for nearly two months now. Super nervous though if schools re-open and the news with UCONN is a little uneasy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarshall Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 11/10 New england beach day. 3 hrs of head high surf in 70 degree water. No wetsuit. Wind was offshore. Just perfection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to kill progress that has been made in the states that have worked hard to contain and it will only make things worse in states being hit hard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know you can make it work, balancing healthy safety and education but I think districts have to try? Glad I’m not making the decisions though.

Glad I’m not making the decisions though. You said it pretty darn well here. This is a no win situation for everyone involved. This situation too would be a PERFECT way to prove just how effective masks are. I totally get the notion that you can't expect a 5-6-7 year old child to keep a mask on all day but if school's are going to be in session at least enforce a mask policy. But then that just draws out the clowns who whine and cry b/c they don't have a "choice" anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then that just draws out the clowns who whine and cry b/c they don't have a "choice" anymore Problem is (sorta) Most of the kids are asymptotic and a large percent of college kids are as well only way to see how good Masks are for k-12 is Test them weekly . My guess is the key difference that will close colleges first is they are testing everyone initially and weekly . Most of the positives were not Ill when they tested positive (it’s just that group has not been tested much at all thru this whole Covid mess) and now they are. The college group will likely spread it very fast and the school age kids will be more of a wild card for spreading imo (but less imo than college kids staying at dorms) the k-12 kids won’t be tested unless someone in their family shows symptoms The younger kids w working parents (essential) and kids from low income homes (there is significant over lap) will suffer the most . It’s brutal . Stakes are very high for a effective prophylactic , and the vaccine discussion is very interesting as the phase 3 data (potential ADE side effects) will be watched very closely by FDA in high risk populations over next few months Also Regeneron will be releasing phase 3 data in late September regarding their anti viral , which could be big but costly$ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Anyone here ever used or currently use a home meal delivery service like hello fresh etc etc? We are looking to reduce waste and maybe even cut costs.... and were wondering if this might be worthwhile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those are very expensive per person. Some good meals though. They still require some work and ingredients you supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I was looking at is like 7.99 a person per meal... I guess it all depends on your grocery bill. The cost of groceries has absolutely skyrocketed over the last 6 months or so and with the amount we already pay... might be nice to have 4 concrete meal options a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 1.34% MA positive today. Looks like that little spike a couple of weeks ago was squashed. Let’s see what happens with the colleges bringing kids back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
