August 13, 20205 yr https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/13/us/schools-quarantined-coronavirus/index.html Quote For many US schools welcoming students back, a return to in-person learning was abruptly halted after new Covid-19 cases. More than 2,000 students, teachers and staff members across five states have been quarantined after at least 230 positive coronavirus cases were reported. It's a grim start to the school year many hoped could mark the beginning of a return to normalcy, but one experts have long warned would come at a cost. More studies have shown how easily children can get and spread coronavirus. But some pediatricians caution that distance-learning has negative consequences for primary-age students and for working families. The dilemma has forced school districts to navigate whether to re-open, and what to do if in-person learning proves dangerous. Covid-19 in the classroom becomes stark reality for parents who've sent their children back to school In Georgia's Cherokee County School District, more than 1,100 students, teachers and staff members are under quarantine after Covid-19 cases were reported. The district began in-person learning August 3, and as of Tuesday reported 59 positive cases. The two-week quarantine period has impacted more than a dozen schools. "It doesn't sound like this was a successful reopening," former Georgia teacher Miranda Wicker told CNN's Don Lemon Wednesday night. Wicker has been speaking with teachers in the district who say they've asked for safety precautions such as mask requirements, but the district has yet to enforce a mandate. It is up to individual schools to do so. And in nearby Gwinnett County, the state's largest school district had to quarantine staff before their doors even opened. At least 263 employees are in quarantine after 28 confirmed cases as of August 5. School began virtually in Gwinnett County on Wednesday. It's a scene that has played out in Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Indiana, with school districts there also enforcing quarantines. And it's left many teachers reluctant to return to the classroom. 'I'm compromising my family' For Marie Tichenor, following guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention meant seeing her students in person would be especially risky for her family. Her husband has an autoimmune disease, she said, which places one at higher risk of severe illness from Covid-19. "I know as an educator of small children, it's going to be very difficult to social distance," Tichenor told Lemon. "Even if the kids kept on their mask and didn't touch each other and stayed six feet apart ... it's little things like on the first day of school, children cry. A child will ask me to tie his or her shoes. My gut reaction is going to go near that child, to comfort that child, to help that child." Tichenor said she received a medical waiver to work remotely since a return to in-person learning meant "I'm compromising my family." She was one of more than 400 teachers in Elizabeth, New Jersey, who asked their district to move to virtual learning this fall. Cases increasing among children Over the last four weeks, there has been a 90% increase in Covid-19 cases among children, according to a new analysis by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children's Hospital Association that will be updated weekly. Dr. Sean O'Leary, vice-chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases, told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Monday that coronavirus cases in children should be taken seriously. There has been a 90% increase in Covid-19 cases in US children in the last four weeks, report says "It's not fair to say that this virus is completely benign in children," said O'Leary. "We've had 90 deaths in children in the US already, in just a few months. Every year we worry about influenza in children, and there are roughly around 100 deaths in children from influenza every year." Leary said that multiple factors have led to a recent increase in the number of coronavirus infections in children in the past couple of weeks, including increased testing, increased movement among children and a rise in infection among the general population. "When you see a lot more infections in the general population, you're going to see a lot more infections in children," said O'Leary. "We all have to take this virus seriously, including taking care of our children," said O'Leary. CNN's Annie Grayer, Elizabeth Stuart, Jen Christensen, Lauren Mascarenhas, Christina Maxouris and Sandee LaMotte contributed to this report.

Schools in Europe have been back since as early as May. How many child deaths have there been since starting back up? My impression is that the data suggest that schools have been safe places in Europe, indicating that there are other factors contributing to these deaths.

The posts I've made have been the rare driveby. I haven't had time to dig through your data or I would have. You, (and many others here) take this place way too seriously. Here's the reply to your data. Most of the "excess deaths", as if averages are guarantees to begin with, are because people have been delaying, or ignoring care, as I originally said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/investigations/coronavirus-excess-deaths-heart/ Quote That spike contributed to Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, and New York state and the city having a combined 75,000 "excess deaths” during that period, 17,000 more than the number officially attributed to covid-19, the disease the virus causes. While several experts said some of the excess deaths in the analysis were almost certainly unrecognized fatalities from covid-19, the review suggests that many patients suffering from serious conditions died as a result of delaying or not seeking care as the outbreak progressed and swamped some hospitals. Normally, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. But in the early months of the pandemic, some hospital departments were nearly devoid of the heart, cancer, stroke and other patients who populated them before. Looking at the analysis, more than 50 patients a day "died excess deaths just from heart disease, just in New York City,” said John Puskas, chairman of cardiovascular surgery at Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital in Manhattan. "Frankly, that would explain where all the patients went.” The analysis of data from March 1 to May 30, using a model previously developed by the Yale School of Public Health, shows heart disease is the major driver of excess deaths, excluding those officially attributed to covid-19.

August 13, 20205 yr Quote The Seattle Seahawks waived Kemah Siverand, a little-known rookie cornerback, on Tuesday, and the reason for his departure has come to light. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Thursday Seattle cut Siverand, an undrafted free agent, after he was caught on video trying to sneak a female visitor into the team hotel, per sources informed of the situation. The woman was wearing Seahawks gear in an attempt to disguise her as a player, Pelissero added. Siverand's attempt to welcome a visitor into the team hotel was a violation of team rules, especially during a camp that is operating amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With outside contact expected to be at a minimum if at all, jeopardizing the rest of Seattle's team by inviting an outside visitor into the team's hotel was a violation the Seahawks could not overlook.
