Did the world hold the United States accountable for the Spanish flu? Because that started in Kansas. (And it was called the Spanish flu because Spain was the only country whose newspapers weren't downplaying it to keep morale up during WWI.)

What would "holding China accountable" look like for you, OP?

Would China just point to Tony, if he indeed facilitated the funding?

There's alway a jump on Mondays because those include numbers from over the weekend. But by all means, continue to live in terror.

Lmao you can’t read sarcasm? 394 is nothing. I’m mocking the “ba.2 surge” hype

My children’s school (private) has tracked COVID cases all year. Two weeks ago there had been 88 cases in the whole school of around 1000 pupils and 350 faculty/staff). 44 of those cases had been in the prior 2 weeks. Since then there have been another 67 cases.

It's already hitting. Our school has had a sharp uptick in cases over the last 2-3 weeks. I tested positive today despite being careful and triple vaxed. BA.2 is extremely contagious.

Sorry about that. Could you share your symptoms?

Started with a scratchy throat yesterday (tested negative), otherwise felt ok. Woke up this morning with a scratchier/hoarse throat and a little upper respiratory congestion, plus some heavy phlegm feeling in my upper chest just below throat. Head feels slightly “loopy” like I’ve had a drink, but otherwise ok. Stomach is a little sensitive and I’ve had several less than solid bms.

We have literally had the same symptoms in our house. DH and DC both tested negative for Covid.

Many people trust negative initially with symptoms, then positive days later.

Ha give me a break. Move on

No. We will continue to discuss it, no matter how much you childishly tantrum, stick your fingers in your ears and chant “LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU.” Don’t like it? Move on.

I think PP was being sarcastic. 394 cases in a state with 8.6 million people isn’t very many.

Oh. Ha. It's just so hard to tell in this ridiculous group.

Yeah. It’s pretty insane. They stopped mandatory masking at the beginning of that surge but many many people went back to masks within a week. It’s scary!

It's really not. I sincerely mean that. I'm boosted and have only worn a mask a couple times (planes) in the past year.

Hmm I was sick last weekend with a cold. DS too, he tested negative with a home test. There is crud going around besides just Covid!

There is and masking helps with that. However, just doing a home test may not be accurate. We are sick, did home tests but we aren't going anywhere so no need for a PRC.

Positive test didn’t come until symptoms became worse (low grade fever, sore throat, body aches, etc). If you are feeling ill assume it’s Covid. I was just starting to let my guard down as I’m young, otherwise healthy, vaccinated and boosted. I’m on day 3 in bed feeling awful, worst sore throat I can recall.

I don’t get why people test three or four times. Take your negative test and go with it.

Because if we actually have covid we don’t want to further spread it around, dopey!
