LA Counties ICU beds reached 99% capacity over the weekend. California has begun to close things down again. Bars, beaches and piers are closed effective immediately. Emergency texts were sent out telling people to stay at home.
Among the most important findings, consistent across several studies, is confirmation the virus appears to attack the lungs the most ferociously. They also found the pathogen in parts of the brain, kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract, spleen and in the endothelial cells that line blood vessels, as some had previously suspected. Researchers also found widespread clotting in many organs.
But the brain and heart yielded surprises.
“It’s about what we are not seeing,” said Mary Fowkes, an associate professor of pathology who is part of a team at Mount Sinai Health that has performed autopsies on 67 covid-19 patients.

This is a decent review of the literature, but yes, it does look like no one really knows.Serious question: what IS the evidence for children and spread? I understand that children tend to get a much more mild form of the disease, although there does seem to be some serious inflammatory complications in a small number of young kids, and there are a small number of children that have died-- but in general, the disease doesn't seem as aggressive in children. But what's the evidence say about their ability to spread it?
I'm currently trying to figure out if we want to send our boys to daycare. Actually, we definitely WANT to send our kids to daycare, since it's impossible for two working parents to continue working from home with a 3y/o and a 1y/o around full time. But I don't know how dangerous that's going to be. I'm in PA, and while our numbers aren't great, we're not in a horrible outbreak zone. I just constantly worry about sending them back, worry about my parents or my wife's parents getting it, or even me and my wife getting it.
I don't know. The childcare thing is a huge deal. I don't know how parents are going to start working again with childcare closed down. And I don't know if we even should open childcare places again.
Anyway, if anyone has any good sources on children and spread, I'd love to read it, good or bad. I've looked around and the data seems frustratingly vague.

How do children spread the coronavirus? The science still isn’t clear
Schools are beginning to reopen — but scientists are still trying to understand what the deal is with kids and COVID-19.www.nature.com
I have three kids, but they are all much older. I sent them to camp, because while it is easier to tell an 11 y/o to be quiet, it doesn't really happen as well as you would like. The science seems to suggest that kids don't spread it as easily as adults.
As for kids being at risk for inflammatory disease brought on by Covid, that's a whole other ball of wax. But if your kiddo has an underlying condition or you have a family history of inflammatory disease, I would keep the kids home.

As for me, I would be more hesitant to use daycare just because your youngest is 1. But you have to actually do your job and not deal with kids all day, so this is a tough call. If you do send them to daycare, I would probably restrict grandparent access.
AUSTIN -- As cases of the coronavirus surge in Texas, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says he is done listening to the country’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
On Fox News Tuesday, Patrick accused Fauci of being wrong “every time, on every issue,” but Patrick did not offer any evidence.

Looks like PA is requiring masks if you leave your home now.
Apparently the worst thing that has ever happened to some people I've seen reacting.
I'm in Hanover. While I'm surprised it seems to be getting more and more liberal here there's a lot of older conservatives.In my area, masking has been pretty consistent and I haven't heard any complaints really. But I'm in Doylestown, which is like the last bastion of liberal before you stray out into the deep red of Pennsyltucky.
we don't care what you have to say, lady.Woman in NoHo Trader Joe’s no-mask tirade tells her side of the story
The woman seen yelling at workers and customers during opening day at NoHo West’s new Trader Joe’s on Friday has been speaking to Los Angeles TV news reporters in an effort to tell her …www.dailynews.com
The Independence Day Throwback Beach Party promoter, Mike Wade, told Chronicle reporter Rachel Rascoe via text that the show’s capacity will be 2,500. Tickets, selling on Eventbrite, range $25-$300.
Vanilla Ice, aka Dallas native Rob Van Winkle, leans heavily on celebration of Nineties throwback culture in his promotion. An Instagram post from earlier this week showed footage from a packed concert, along with the caption: “I can’t wait to get back to this. The Nineties were the best. We didn’t have coronavirus, or cell phones, or computers.” He goes on to call the era, “The last of the great decades.”
Do people in other countries have to deal with people making up all this nonsense about masks?
