Health-care delivery - an activity that is difficult to modify to lower risk - contributed 7.8% of the cases and was second to "household/social gatherings". This is more support for vaccinating the front-line workers first. College students and education workers are next.

--- From article

Topping the list (see below) was “household/social gatherings,” linked to 73.8% of the exposures. Health-care delivery was a distant second at 7.8%. It was followed by college students and education workers.

Further down, at No. 5, “restaurants & bars” were linked to 1.4% of exposures.

NY data lists restaurants as low coronavirus risk. Owners ask: Then why is Cuomo killing us?

Cuomo chart shows dining out linked to 1.4% of recent cases.

Bueller? Bueller?

Sorry I mean @dad4 @dad4
 
@dad4 comments?

Take a look where they find what activities are associated with positive cases.

Besides restaurants not being an issue look at sports or church.

I believe those are your main activities you dislike and/or are worried about.

There's this now too. Also interesting that asymptomatics just aren't much of a driver. Another reason why government interventions such as lockdowns and masks don't appear to be working much.

The question then is do they get paid if they take a leave.

I believe they will get paid to leave. It's not their fault Hound and some teachers have real health concerns. I miss you. How's AZ? Anyone from HB on here? I went down last weekend and I saw no mask. It was so different.

AZ is good. Practices are in full swing.

Most girls are doing HS practice right now. At the DDs club the very few that are not doing HS are practicing with a lot of college girls. So that is very good experience for them. A scrimmage last week vs another club who has training for college kids and then more scrimmages to come including this weekend.

Sorry for bringing all the Rona from California Hound. Your state was so kind to open up for us. I know we brought $$$ but that's not good enough anymore. Were hoping to get High School ball running asap. I hear some HS School teams from Cali are looking to get a few scrimmages with AZ HS teams. Did you hear about that one?

Have not heard about that one. But to be fair I wouldn't be the person to know regarding HS soccer.

And apology accepted. I heard 3 different outbreaks were tied to you when you came out here ;)

Bro, did you get it from me after dinner and drinks? We did have our mask on the whole time before we went into bar and after we left so I can;t see how you got Rona from us and I never hugged you. I think we did a fist pump and then you offered me hand cleanser if I'm not mistaken? Stop blaming me for all your ills bro. Not cool.
 
Nationwide, we appear to have reached the top / very near the top of the cases in the current surge. I took a quick look at the individual states to see the general direction from data as of Dec 7 to data as of Dec 14. Overall, states are trending down with 30 rising more slowly or trending down faster than last week. I only count 5 with cases rising faster than last week. The east coast has slowed their increases considerably and CA is showing some signs of slowing the explosive growth - but still growing fast. We also appear to be past any Thanksgiving effect. There was a noticable bump in many individual states' data starting about a week after Thanksgiving (interestingly preceded by a noticable dip seen on the national level), but many (all?) states that were trending down prior to Thanksgiving are trending down currently after the Thanksgiving bump up. Once CA starts dropping, cases will trend down strongly.

Lots of people were told they had to take a leave (aka Furloughed) because of restrictions. They weren’t getting paid. Had to file for Unemployment.

Will be interesting to see how the Unions handle this one.

Another "indicator" that things are moving the right direction. About a week or so ago, only two states were "green"

Wow Hawaii.....probably the only state to handle things more stupidly than California or New York. Wrecked their economy with 7 months of lockdowns and sealing themselves off only to open back up when things are at at their worst on the mainland. When they opened up, I'm sure dad loves that they have indoor dining open at 50% capacity. The airplane policy is they require you to have a negative COVID test or to quarantine 14 days but that means you might be traveling with someone asymptomatic and catch it on the plane and then spread it at your hotel. Their school policy has been an absolute mess.

I keep getting emails from them offering to pay for my flight for free if I'm a remote worker, go for 30 days or more, and commit to doing some zoom community service (whatever that is).

They need the vaccine ASAP.

Vaccine number 2 about ready to go. Hard to believe we are going to have two vaccines in about 10 months. This is truly an amazing accomplishment.

Moderna Vaccine Is Highly Protective Against Covid-19, the F.D.A. Finds (Published 2020)

The positive review most likely ensures that the Food and Drug Administration will grant emergency authorization to a second coronavirus vaccine this week for millions of Americans.

Congrats to Laura!!!!!
Laura Ingraham signs multi-year deal to remain at Fox News: ‘It is a great privilege’ ((you think?))

"The fraud happened. The election in many ways was stolen and the only way it will be fixed is by in the future reinforcing the laws."

So she signs a big fat deal for millions and tells us all the election was loaded with fraud and stolen from 74,000,000 Americans. However, we will deal with it in da future and enforce the laws next time? Oh joy, this is going to get real interesting. Who the heck thinks this is going to be ok? I'm happy she got rich in all this, but that is just weird to be bragging about this fat raise during the worst time ever for so many of us.
