Knowing what we know now - that it had been circulating globally since Nov 2019 - hope was already lost of full eradication. - Beryllium Aug 10, 15:00
No, not eradicate. However, we could have had many, many fewer deaths. And long COVID cases too. -- nm - mara 🍂 Aug 10, 14:26 1
- But we are talking now not last or two years ago. At least that’s where I am. Are we advocating doing more closures? -- nm - Qale Aug 10, 14:45
keeping schools open at 50% positive will do that -- (link) - hollywood big shot Aug 10, 13:59 10
- That number is based on 232 tests *statewide* -- nm - spamlet Aug 10, 14:20 4
  - you really think it would be that much lower with more tests? - hollywood big shot Aug 10, 14:22 3
    - Significantly so, I’d bet. - znufrii 🦄 Aug 10, 14:55
    - You think 50% of people currently have COVID? -- nm - spamlet Aug 10, 14:22 1
      - 50% positive in a school? they're germ factories -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 10, 14:25
- It's been proven closing schools was a massive mistake. Kids are behind immensely and it was completely damaging. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 14:06 4
  - I say this as an educator - schools had to close. Was it bad for educational outcomes, absolutely. But that was not the only consideration. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 14:11 2
    - Pixie seems to be advocating for more closures in 2023, which sure, good luck with that. -- nm - Qale Aug 10, 14:15 1
      - nope just the same epidemiological standards we’ve used for every other communicable disease before 2020 -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 10, 14:17
  - they're prime superspreader vectors -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 10, 14:07
daughter now testing positive for it. Ugh -- nm - Pippy Quintas Aug 10, 13:03 6
- I’m sorry. It’s not that I’m unsympathetic or turned Covid denier of course. -- nm - Qale Aug 10, 13:13 1
  - I know. I was running around without a mask too. Could have easily been me. I've got dinner/movie plans tomorrow. I'll mask up. -- nm - Pippy Quintas Aug 10, 13:17
- so sorry, best wishes -- nm - mud Aug 10, 13:06 1
  - Thanks. She's very anxious and avoided it for 3 years. -- nm - Pippy Quintas Aug 10, 13:07
- how sick are they? mild cold or feel like they got hit by a truck or nothing? -- nm - Andie Aug 10, 13:04 1
  - He was in bed a full day, slept most of it. She's got a gunky throat and starting to feel bad like he was. She tested negative yesterday. - Pippy Quintas Aug 10, 13:06
NZ, S. Korea, Japan did exponentially better during the first year than the rest of the world as i recall -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 10, 12:46
Just like STDs -- nm - budice Aug 10, 12:36 1
- Wait, what were you doing with that Olive Garden breadstick!? -- nm - Qale Aug 10, 13:16
