Supposedly the droplets are still a six foot thing.
In crowed environments, like an airplane and many schools, Im still with the mask.
The airplanes are supposed to have good ventilation but its just too close imo.
I need to be working after a vacation. Working non productively with a cold is not preferable. Or worse.
And if family setbacks from illness can be avoided to get on with important activities, we are all in.
The mask taught me quite a bit. ZERO colds for almost three years.
That being said Im all for proper air filtration as well. No Philadelphia pneumonia again.
COVID is airborne, the dull emphasis on droplets undercuts that basic fact and reveals the somewhat supers ious at ude of credentialed experts toward aerosol transmission.

The tweeter overstates the correlation, but it's consistent with what's been found with adults.
The study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0887899422002107
COVID was a top 10 cause of death among children in the US from 2019-2022.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...rticle/2800816Among children and young people aged 0 to 19 years in the US, COVID-19 ranked eighth among all causes of deaths, fifth in disease-related causes of deaths (excluding unintentional injuries, assault, and suicide), and first in deaths caused by infectious or respiratory diseases. COVID-19 deaths cons uted 2% of all causes of death in this age group.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...763v1.full.pdfIn that winter of 2021, the usual seasonal increase inmedical causes of childhood mortality was effectively eliminated.
Kids aren't invulnerable. Letting them get infected with COVID over and over again may not turn out well.
(((((((((may)))))))))
To an American, wherever they may dwell is processed as (don't worry about itPERIOD)
When you ditch mitigation *during* a pandemic, stuff like this will keep happening.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-rep...chools-resume/Reports of COVID-19 in emergency room visits from adolescents have nearly doubled over the past week, new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data shows, reaching levels not seen in a year.
Measured as a share of all emergency room visits in children ages 12 to 15 years old, the figures published late Thursday by the CDC show weekly COVID-19 averages have accelerated to 2.43% through August 21.
Rates of COVID-19 ER visits in these adolescents have increased from 1.33% the week before, and are now higher than levels seen among most other age groups except for the youngest and the oldest Americans.

LOL Still scared and always in fear since Mar 2020.
Finger in the wind, eyes open. You'd be dumb to ignore it.
IDC just like I haven't cared since the beginning. You said the same back then and I still didn't care and won't care ever. Go get boosted up and maybe just maybe we'll finally get that population control you crybabies have been whining over for so long.
Hospitals and schools are worried about it right now, are they wrong to?
Fort Stewart recently reins uted masking and social distancing, are they fearful pussies, or just trying to protect their efficiency and readiness during a live pandemic?

They've come to the bitter realization that when Biden vowed to "Shut it down." he didn't know his ass from a hole in-the-ground.
It's not a given that viruses get less dangerous over time.
this was a bum tip, never found corroboration of this.
my bad.
"Let er rip"
"Exposure early and often to neurotropic and vascular diseases makes children stronger"
I bet they did not carry on in their reports like this. Outbreaks are what they are. You just like to pretend that is the reality everywhere for some reason.
...because Joe "I'll shut it down." Biden lied.
The rate of infection right now is likely higher than it has been for 90% of the pandemic. JN.1 is becoming the dominant strain globally -- a new evolutionary turn for SARS2. Pretending COVID is nbd is willful blindness. It was the 3rd leading cause of death in the US last year, behind cancer and heart disease.
rampant global transmission, as we speak
not to worry, 'tis mild
Up to 5.8 million young people have long COVID, according to a recent study — and parents like Amanda Goodhart are looking for answers.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/million...g-for-answers/Doctors say most children with long COVID recover over several months, but about a third experience symptoms even one year later.
Goodhart says it's been frustrating, adding they've tried multiple treatments with only moderate improvement."It's terrible, there's nothing worse than seeing your child go through something you can't fix," she says.
The research also shows long COVID can raise the chances of a child developing type 1 diabetes. And it can even be deadly, leading to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes the syndrome as a "rare but serious condition associated with COVID-19 in which different body parts become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs."
Exposure early and often to neurotropic and vascular diseases makes children strongerhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-55597-2The pooled proportion of pediatric COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms and exhibiting abnormal neuroimaging findings was 43.74%. These findings were further categorized into neurovascular findings (8.22%), ADEM-like lesions (7.69%), encephalitic pattern (13.95%), myelitis (4.60%), transient splenial lesions (16.26%), and other abnormalities (12.03%). Insignificant between-study heterogeneity was observed in all categories, and our analysis did not reveal significant publication bias. In conclusion, a substantial proportion of pediatric COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms have abnormal neuroimaging findings, underscoring the need for vigilant monitoring of neurological complications in this vulnerable population. Standardized reporting and long-term follow-up studies are essential to fully understand the implications of these findings. Collaborative research efforts will deepen our understanding of COVID-19's neurological dimensions in children and enhance clinical care for this population.
