Over 60,000 children tested positive for Covid-19 in the last week of October, the highest jump yet, but those numbers could be undercounted, pediatricians say.

I watch my zip codes cases closely. We’ve got 413 cases since the beginning of this, 85 of those cases are from the past WEEK.

Between now and the end of the year it's going to be rough.

I see you got hit with the backlog in testing......

I was expecting the US would hit 300,000 deaths by Election Day...

No, but by the end of the year. Well..you know...

....and my town borders Wisconsin, and as close as the next town over in most any direction, they’re playing volleyball all summer long at businesses. This was coming.

 

[As if!]

Thankfully the death rate hasnt increased and the vaccine right around the corner should make it plummet.

Everyone stay healthy

I would be surprised if we had a vaccine before 3rd quarter next year in any appreciable amount. Then it matters if it's a 1 or 2 series and finally the healthcare workers and emergency responders must have first access.

The death rate hasn't increased yet but it's going to upswing shortly. It's pure statistics. If we don't put out the fire in the US by Thanksgiving and people gather, January and February could be brutal.

An RN in Montana put out a warning we should heed.

NBC News was granted rare access inside the ICU at St. Vincent hospital in Billings to show the pandemic’s devastating impact on rural areas.

That line is breaking. Anyway I hope you are right but I'm wearing a respirator when I go out along with eye and hair covering and encourage everyone else to do so as well and if you haven't gotten your flu vaccine now is the time. Good luck.

yeah it was coming based on what your saying, gotta be careful out there. Social distancing, masks, washing your hands, sanatizers...all help and might keep you safe...

you don't want this

Our lockdown has been extended by a week because of our dumbass mayor, while the rest of the province's hotspots go back to a modified stage 1. I'm so sick of wealthy lawyers telling us to hang in there while they collect their fat pay cheques and deny us the same. I bet they have no idea what it's like to constantly worry about paying your bills or buying food.

New colour-coded system would see most businesses reopen in COVID-19 hot spots but with restrictions

The Ford government has unveiled a new tiered system for COVID-19 restrictions that would allow most businesses to reopen albeit with earlier closing times, stricter capacity limits and mandatory symptom screenings.

So sorry hun, it really is hard to tolerate the intolerable. Just be kind to yourself, try to exercise, eat well and abide with what grace you can muster.

I was doing fine with it until this second lock down. It was just so arbitrary and completely ignores the data... gyms spent huge sums reducing the amount of equipment, adding sanitation workers and installing plexiglas everywhere. These are health conscious people and they're going to do everything to keep their customers healthy. When I saw all the precautions they had taken after the first lock down I was comfortable that my partner would be safe going back to work.

I don't know if it's the same in other areas but in the gta gyms only accounted for 3% of new cases while the lion's share came from schools and daycare and nobody is talking about shutting them down. I regret quitting that job earlier this year, it sucked and I hated the idea of working but I would have had a paycheque during this lock down.

Our guest room is back to a home gym again filled with various used things I found on facebook market place that people were giving away. I got a stationary bike that was in great shape, it only needed a new cable that goes to the tensioner around the flywheel, a cheapo pilates reformer that's kinda rickety and catches your hair in the springs if you're not careful and a bunch of medicine balls... didn't cost me a penny. Once the world returns to normal I could probably sell the bike for a couple hundred.
