Conavirus......

My assistant's two kids, ages 6 and 10, both have it. Yesterday they were sick enough that she took them to the ER. Since then their fevers have dropped and oxygen sats have gotten back up to the mid-90s but she sounded quite freaked out yesterday when I spoke with her. Thankfully she's fully vaxxed so she hasn't shown any symptoms so far.

I guess I'm an outlier but I only know one person that has had Covid. She thinks she got it after an emergency trip to the ER for a bee sting since the room was full of sick people without masks.

I know quite a few people who have had it, but only one under age 70 who has been hospitalized for it. Everyone I know, or who is related to someone I know, and has died of it was mid eighties or older.

The friend once removed that tested positive--but was never sick--probably got it from visiting an ailing relative, also in the hospital.

It would be interesting to see Bae's chart broken down into vaccinated and unvaccinated by age. Possibly a comfort to me, being in one of the larger blue smudge categories with booster.

I know of maybe a half dozen who have had symptomatic Covid, but none have had severe symptoms. No one over seventy and just one was a breakthough infection. I know quite a few people relative to my small social group and family who have taken more risk than I would consider and not had any problems. Both before and after vaccination.

Hey, the same chart I use to argue making kids wear masks is unwarranted!

Well, as I've stated before, I know several people who have had it - and variants. Most survived but several did not.

What is it called when someone says they were only kidding but actually not?

Disingenuous?

It is such a good thing that children live on their own, don’t live in households with parents and grandparents, and don’t interact with the broader community…
