The local ND is getting ugly with the 'how dare you trample on my civil rights' gang getting more and more vocal.
I'm sorry, but what is "ND"?

Well, I get to take DD for COVID testing today. She didn't feel well yesterday and her temperature went over 100F last night. I am impressed that i was able to call this morning and get an appointment for testing within a few hours.
Hopefully it's something else. There are five of us living together, so if one of us has it, it's safe to say we're all infected.

Not necessarily. My SIL, an RN in NYC got it a month ago. None of here 3 kids or DH came down with it or were asymptomatic. She's been 'well' for 3.5 weeks now but still testing positive as is one of her co-workers. She's waiting for the all clear to donate plasma.
Thanks for the well wishes.
MissMolly, I hope your son recovers soon. We're lucky, since although DD has a temperature, overall she is fine. She's young, so I expect she'll recover ok. It's more of the uncertainty that she can infect others, assuming she has COVID.
We went to the test center this morning and it was easy, although unpleasant for DD. This is at the major trauma center in the PNW. They had 3 stations available for testing and we were the only ones there. I feel that we're pretty lucky in our area. We definitely have our policy issues, but in this case, things seem to be working well. Hopefully we'll get her test results soon.
That is interesting. Was DH or the kids tested?
Sounds like they have an agenda to make the numbers fit. I wouldn't say they're wrong, but the statistics they are using probably wouldn't survive peer review. Just my opinion.
I understand we've recently had some more severe flu seasons. Did we overwhelm any hospitals treating the regular flu?
There are those who actually recommend such a plan. Let those in the 80% who are low-risk get CV19 and build up herd immunity. Then all of us, including we old folks, can get on with life with much less risk.
Since I am stuck inside either way, I don't mind it.
Not sure if this is new news. CBS Sunday Morning had a re cap of the events leading up to the economy meltdown due to CV19. Bottom line in the segment suggests if Beth Cameron's Pandemic Preparedness office had not been eliminated in 2018 this economic debacle may have been prevented. Also the opinion of Harvard Global Health Institute.

....maybe we should all get back to the facts and our daily reality.

Dr. Thomas Oxley, a neurosurgeon at Mount Sinai Health System in New York, and colleagues gave details of five people they treated. All were under the age of 50, and all had either mild symptoms of COVID-19 infection or no symptoms at all.
"The virus seems to be causing increased clotting in the large arteries, leading to severe stroke," Oxley told CNN.
"Our report shows a seven-fold increase in incidence of sudden stroke in young patients during the past two weeks. Most of these patients have no past medical history and were at home with either mild symptoms (or in two cases, no symptoms) of COVID," he added.
"All tested positive. Two of them delayed calling an ambulance."

I think an article covering this news was linked on another thread.
yeah, have you seen pictures of "covid toes?"
looks like something you'd expect only on an older person who had experienced severe circulatory system damage as a result of poorly-controlled diabetes.
