This holiday data is from Monday, 5/30/22, reported today. There are 72 new student infections and 17 new staff infections reported since yesterday. There have been 1568 active infections at MCPS within the last 10 days. This is 192 less than yesterday's 10-day average. Of 210 schools in MCPS plus Central Office, 96 (46%) are improving, 95 (45%) are steady, and 19 (9%) are getting worse.

7% (15 of 210) schools have an infection rate of 2% or more. 0% (0 of 210) schools have an infection rate of 10% or more. This is the shortest this list has been in several weeks, although Churchill is an outlyer with 122 infections.

It must just kill you that no one reads these or cares anymore. You lost this debate.


If that's true, why are you still here on this thread? Not sure why you're trying to convince me I've "lost this debate" that I didn't even know I was debating? You can say all you want and comment all you want. What you don't seem to realize is that it is you that is irrelevant. Yet time and time again, you come back and comment. It's really very sad. Move on with your life and read a different thread. You'll be happier for it. Trust me. In the meantime, those of us who care, and care about our children, will continue to monitor.

An article caught my eye:
"The Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported 7,029 new confirmed COVID cases on Tuesday, after no reports over the long weekend."
https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/massachusetts-reports-7029-new-covid-cases-over-4-days-6-additional-deaths/

Why is this important? On May 30th, Massachusetts reported zero new cases in the entire state, with a 7-DAY-AVERAGE OF 2,060 cases. The question is, how did they get 7,029 new cases in a single day with 0 cases the day prior?


You don't recognize what a batch upload looks like by now? The answer to your question (obvious to everybody else) is that it was a holiday weekend. How could you credibly think that anybody here takes you seriously?


Please refer to my post at 5:32. She’s a lost cause.


You would think her Massachusetts post was satire because it was so incredibly dumb. She even went as far as bolding her stupidity. But we all know by now that this was a real post. She was actually mentally struggling with where all those cases suddenly came from. We already knew that she has some fairly significant reading comprehension issues, but clearly there are some basic analytic/reasoning issues as well (further backed up that she think she's responding to one poster throughout these threads...)


And yet, you are still on this thread? Following and responding to every post? Hmm?


I haven't even read the Massachusetts post, lol. Seriously, should we sign a lease since I occupy so much space in your head?

Pathetic.


Your posting style is very distinctive. Just like you ran away from R-Letter O by claiming it wasn't you, you're attempting to run away from Massachusetts. You insult other posters (usually name-calling) as cover for your own demonstrative ineptitude.


I can't convince an insane person they're wrong. I don't even know why I try.

Massachusetts mom and I are laughing at you, cupcake.

You are actually right, obviously the surge is from cases over the holiday. We've seen leaps in data like this before.

Regarding antibodies vanishing after five days???

I was not personally at your crack and vodka party in your Tahoe where you decided that was what I said? So I can't really attest to the logical leap that made that fabricated nonsense stick in your brain? But I suspect you misinterpret things people say all the time. It's probably why stalking me is so important to you.

As you yourself admit, antibodies wane over time. (How much time varies, but I believe it's usually a lot more than five days.) A serology test can't find what isn't there. I get that discounting long covid is one of your passions, much like some women like coloring books or yoga or knitting... but you're so intellectually last that even your poor Botox patients wouldn't buy your arguments, and those ladies aren't exactly deep thinkers.

You really haven’t figured out that’s the endgame for Covid?


Then that suck for 20% of the children.

over 1 in 5 COVID-19 survivors under the age of 65 could develop long COVID

coronavirus inoculation has only a "slight protective effect" against long COVID

long COVID might "affect a patient's ability to contribute to the work force and might have economic consequences for survivors and their dependents."

The study's results could "potentially translate into millions of people with new diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, neurologic problems"

https://www.yahoo.com/news/cdcs-study-tells-us-long-095511394.html


What about the 1-in-6 people that study found had the same symptoms as long covid, but no evidence of a past infection?

Can you point to any results from that study that support the claim that long covid is preventing people from contributing to the work force, or that it is leading to serious, chronic conditions that don’t resolve with time? You’re not going to be able to, because the study didn’t (and couldn’t) look at that. You seem to be confusing what some people fear with what we actually know.

If you've been following the studies coming out on long covid, you should have already observed a pattern. The weaker the controls (or complete lack thereof), the higher the estimated rate of long covid. This obviously comes as no surprise, but it bears calling attention to. This was a good study, but it still had weak controls. Individuals implicitly self-selected, since it was based on people choosing to seek medical attention. Most of the conditions are subjectively assessed, usually through symptom reporting by patients, sometimes by assessments by the providers. The patients and doctors know which patients previously had covid, so many will be more inclined to be looking for (and seeking treatment for) symptoms believed to be associated with long covid.

Is there a higher-than-baseline risk of various medical conditions following recovery from a virus? Of course there is. That's not unique to covid. And that doesn't mean had it not been for covid they wouldn't develop those conditions following recovery from some other infection.



Quit being reasonable. That takes the fun out of posting a passage of an article/study without really understanding it. What is there left for PP to do if she doesn’t have that?


Welp, being as I have friends who live all over the country and many of them have had covid, and at least a dozen have continuing symptoms, three severe enough to be disabled... I have some concerns. I realize you don't.

Also, there is no conclusive test that can determine if an individual has ever had COVID. Or not. Full stop. So, there's no saying the control group didn't have it. Antibodies for COVID may or may not be present for a duration of time after an infection. Or they may not. So there's really no way of knowing what the control group had or did not have.

And while it's certainly true that *some* symptoms of covid are vague and nebulous to fall under the umbrella of things like "fibromyalgia" etc, others are not. I know six people last year who had random blood clots. Three years ago, that number was zero. Another three friends dropped dead from heart attacks. Again, three years ago, that number was zero.

None of this makes me "frightened" of the virus. There's no point. All of it makes me wear a mask and not eat in restaurants.

Why are you such a pathetic sociopath? Childhood trauma?


I thought you were the poster from the health forum that didn’t know what antibodies were. This response pretty much confirms it. You still don’t seem to know what antibodies are, and certainly haven’t bothered to look at the performance of serology tests.

Look at the nucleocapsid tests here:
https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19-emergency-use-authorizations-medical-devices/eua-authorized-serology-test-performance


Antibodies wane over time. You can keep insulting me as much as you want. But your own *science* is about as logical as your *logic,* which tends to posit examples like, "covid is just like the flu!" Or, "why would they expect us to keep getting boosters? We don't have to do that with the flu!" Or, one of my favorites, your recent: "we can't ask people to wear masks now because we might need them to wear masks later!"

Either you're paid, or you're just so far up some government-contracted K-hole that you can't wipe your own self. Either way, your continued attempts to pretend like you're being *scientific* are nothing more than amusing.

Dance, monkey. Dance.

As the FDA’s page shows, serology tests for prior infections are certainly specific and sensitive enough to give good data for controlled covid studies. Your claim that we don't have reliable ways to test for prior infections is simply false.


"...to give good data for controlled COVID studies."

How does the FDA page show this? I didn't originally cite it, and you're the expert. In
my opinion, the phrase "good data" is as vague as the clouds in your head after your bender last night with the cucumber, the needle, and the eightball.

What makes the data good, puppy? Is it selected for people whose purported dates of infection only fall within a narrow range? Are all cases seropositive for COVID antibodies? Or is this like the time you thought your college was good, being as you had no other experience to compare it to?

If that's true, why are you still here on this thread? Not sure why you're trying to convince me I've "lost this debate" that I didn't even know I was debating? You can say all you want and comment all you want. What you don't seem to realize is that it is you that is irrelevant. Yet time and time again, you come back and comment. It's really very sad. Move on with your life and read a different thread. You'll be happier for it. Trust me. In the meantime, those of us who care, and care about our children, will continue to monitor.

An article caught my eye:
"The Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported 7,029 new confirmed COVID cases on Tuesday, after no reports over the long weekend."
https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/massachusetts-reports-7029-new-covid-cases-over-4-days-6-additional-deaths/

Why is this important? On May 30th, Massachusetts reported zero new cases in the entire state, with a 7-DAY-AVERAGE OF 2,060 cases. The question is, how did they get 7,029 new cases in a single day with 0 cases the day prior?


You don't recognize what a batch upload looks like by now? The answer to your question (obvious to everybody else) is that it was a holiday weekend. How could you credibly think that anybody here takes you seriously?


I agree that the state was "count hoarding". Maryland has done it too (ex. just before Hogan announced no masking, at the end of January after MCPS had egg on it's face, etc.).

However, the numbers don't add up.

2,060 - seven days = 294/d
7,029 - four days = 1,004/d

That's a x3.4 increase, folks. Covid BA.4 and BA.5 at that x3.4 daily average spread rate would be a problem.



Let's get this straight- you're suggesting that months ago, when the Massachusetts Department of Public Health decided to update their dashboard on weekdays, they were motivated by prior knowledge that they'd see a spike on Memorial Day weekend and they wanted to hide that data for an extra couple of days for... reasons. Is that right?

Before you hit the submit button, do you ever pause to ask yourself if what you're about to post actually makes sense? And if you, do you ever then go back to double check what you're claiming? Because your suggestion that Massachusetts is "count hoarding," ostensibly to briefly hide cases, is pretty wild. And the idea that there would be a sudden 3.4x increase just happening to coincide with a 3-day holiday weekend (when fewer people would probably be testing) should have look theoretically possible, but impractical. And the idea that Massachusetts was only averaging 294 cases per day across the entire state should have looked suspiciously low.

Here's the actual number of COVID cases that Massachusetts, listed by report date. The number of cases reported on 5/31 wasn't unusual.

5/17/2022 3425
5/18/2022 3948
5/19/2022 4957
5/20/2022 3938
5/23/2022 7626
5/24/2022 2693

5/26/2022 3485
5/27/2022 3092
5/31/2022 7029

Massachusetts also reports the number of positive tests grouped by the date the test was performed. See the graph below pulled from their dashboard. The last few days won't have complete data yet, since the tests may not have been completed yet or the may not have been reported yet. But the initial, incomplete data is far below the levels from earlier days.

This holiday data is from Monday, 5/30/22, reported today. There are 72 new student infections and 17 new staff infections reported since yesterday. There have been 1568 active infections at MCPS within the last 10 days. This is 192 less than yesterday's 10-day average. Of 210 schools in MCPS plus Central Office, 96 (46%) are improving, 95 (45%) are steady, and 19 (9%) are getting worse.

7% (15 of 210) schools have an infection rate of 2% or more. 0% (0 of 210) schools have an infection rate of 10% or more. This is the shortest this list has been in several weeks, although Churchill is an outlyer with 122 infections.

If that's true, why are you still here on this thread? Not sure why you're trying to convince me I've "lost this debate" that I didn't even know I was debating? You can say all you want and comment all you want. What you don't seem to realize is that it is you that is irrelevant. Yet time and time again, you come back and comment. It's really very sad. Move on with your life and read a different thread. You'll be happier for it. Trust me. In the meantime, those of us who care, and care about our children, will continue to monitor.

An article caught my eye:
"The Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported 7,029 new confirmed COVID cases on Tuesday, after no reports over the long weekend."
https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/massachusetts-reports-7029-new-covid-cases-over-4-days-6-additional-deaths/

Why is this important? On May 30th, Massachusetts reported zero new cases in the entire state, with a 7-DAY-AVERAGE OF 2,060 cases. The question is, how did they get 7,029 new cases in a single day with 0 cases the day prior?


You don't recognize what a batch upload looks like by now? The answer to your question (obvious to everybody else) is that it was a holiday weekend. How could you credibly think that anybody here takes you seriously?


Please refer to my post at 5:32. She’s a lost cause.


You would think her Massachusetts post was satire because it was so incredibly dumb. She even went as far as bolding her stupidity. But we all know by now that this was a real post. She was actually mentally struggling with where all those cases suddenly came from. We already knew that she has some fairly significant reading comprehension issues, but clearly there are some basic analytic/reasoning issues as well (further backed up that she think she's responding to one poster throughout these threads...)


And yet, you are still on this thread? Following and responding to every post? Hmm?


I haven't even read the Massachusetts post, lol. Seriously, should we sign a lease since I occupy so much space in your head?

Pathetic.


Your posting style is very distinctive. Just like you ran away from R-Letter O by claiming it wasn't you, you're attempting to run away from Massachusetts. You insult other posters (usually name-calling) as cover for your own demonstrative ineptitude.


I can't convince an insane person they're wrong. I don't even know why I try.

Massachusetts mom and I are laughing at you, cupcake.

You are actually right, obviously the surge is from cases over the holiday. We've seen leaps in data like this before.

Regarding antibodies vanishing after five days???

I was not personally at your crack and vodka party in your Tahoe where you decided that was what I said? So I can't really attest to the logical leap that made that fabricated nonsense stick in your brain? But I suspect you misinterpret things people say all the time. It's probably why stalking me is so important to you.

As you yourself admit, antibodies wane over time. (How much time varies, but I believe it's usually a lot more than five days.) A serology test can't find what isn't there. I get that discounting long covid is one of your passions, much like some women like coloring books or yoga or knitting... but you're so intellectually last that even your poor Botox patients wouldn't buy your arguments, and those ladies aren't exactly deep thinkers.


You're obsessed with making gender-related insults. Didn't you just claim a couple days ago that a certain poster was misogynistic (when they said nothing about gender at all)? Or was that one of your alternative personalities (e.g., Massachusetts Mom)?

Sorry, how was that gender-related? Did I misuse your pronouns? I thought you wanted to be referred to as a woman.

Why is this important? On May 30th, Massachusetts reported zero new cases in the entire state, with a 7-DAY-AVERAGE OF 2,060 cases. The question is, how did they get 7,029 new cases in a single day with 0 cases the day prior?


You don't recognize what a batch upload looks like by now? The answer to your question (obvious to everybody else) is that it was a holiday weekend. How could you credibly think that anybody here takes you seriously?


I agree that the state was "count hoarding". Maryland has done it too (ex. just before Hogan announced no masking, at the end of January after MCPS had egg on it's face, etc.).

However, the numbers don't add up.

2,060 - seven days = 294/d
7,029 - four days = 1,004/d

That's a x3.4 increase, folks. Covid BA.4 and BA.5 at that x3.4 daily average spread rate would be a problem.



Let's get this straight- you're suggesting that months ago, when the Massachusetts Department of Public Health decided to update their dashboard on weekdays, they were motivated by prior knowledge that they'd see a spike on Memorial Day weekend and they wanted to hide that data for an extra couple of days for... reasons. Is that right?

Before you hit the submit button, do you ever pause to ask yourself if what you're about to post actually makes sense? And if you, do you ever then go back to double check what you're claiming? Because your suggestion that Massachusetts is "count hoarding," ostensibly to briefly hide cases, is pretty wild. And the idea that there would be a sudden 3.4x increase just happening to coincide with a 3-day holiday weekend (when fewer people would probably be testing) should have look theoretically possible, but impractical. And the idea that Massachusetts was only averaging 294 cases per day across the entire state should have looked suspiciously low.

Here's the actual number of COVID cases that Massachusetts, listed by report date. The number of cases reported on 5/31 wasn't unusual.

5/17/2022 3425
5/18/2022 3948
5/19/2022 4957
5/20/2022 3938
5/23/2022 7626
5/24/2022 2693
5/25/2022 3084
5/26/2022 3485
5/27/2022 3092
5/31/2022 7029

Massachusetts also reports the number of positive tests grouped by the date the test was performed. See the graph below pulled from their dashboard. The last few days won't have complete data yet, since the tests may not have been completed yet or the may not have been reported yet. But the initial, incomplete data is far below the levels from earlier days.



Be prepared for some crap reply from China Caller - “blah blah blah puppy, blah blah blah I occupy so much space in your head cupcake…blah blah blah I make tons of money blah blah blah…my comment actually contains nothing of substance but I am nothing if not persistent blah blah blah…[insert insult attempting to be witty but really just makes me look more pathetic] blah blah blah…”


No, when she's been caught saying something demonstrably false (like saying Covid is more contagious than measles), she tends to drop it and pretend it came from a different poster.

She can't respond without implicitly acknowledging she doesn't know what she's talking about, so I don't think she'll respond. Bring this back up in a few days and see if she tries to deny she wrote these posts.

You really haven’t figured out that’s the endgame for Covid?


Then that suck for 20% of the children.

over 1 in 5 COVID-19 survivors under the age of 65 could develop long COVID

coronavirus inoculation has only a "slight protective effect" against long COVID

long COVID might "affect a patient's ability to contribute to the work force and might have economic consequences for survivors and their dependents."

The study's results could "potentially translate into millions of people with new diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, neurologic problems"

https://www.yahoo.com/news/cdcs-study-tells-us-long-095511394.html


What about the 1-in-6 people that study found had the same symptoms as long covid, but no evidence of a past infection?

Can you point to any results from that study that support the claim that long covid is preventing people from contributing to the work force, or that it is leading to serious, chronic conditions that don’t resolve with time? You’re not going to be able to, because the study didn’t (and couldn’t) look at that. You seem to be confusing what some people fear with what we actually know.

If you've been following the studies coming out on long covid, you should have already observed a pattern. The weaker the controls (or complete lack thereof), the higher the estimated rate of long covid. This obviously comes as no surprise, but it bears calling attention to. This was a good study, but it still had weak controls. Individuals implicitly self-selected, since it was based on people choosing to seek medical attention. Most of the conditions are subjectively assessed, usually through symptom reporting by patients, sometimes by assessments by the providers. The patients and doctors know which patients previously had covid, so many will be more inclined to be looking for (and seeking treatment for) symptoms believed to be associated with long covid.

Is there a higher-than-baseline risk of various medical conditions following recovery from a virus? Of course there is. That's not unique to covid. And that doesn't mean had it not been for covid they wouldn't develop those conditions following recovery from some other infection.



Quit being reasonable. That takes the fun out of posting a passage of an article/study without really understanding it. What is there left for PP to do if she doesn’t have that?


Welp, being as I have friends who live all over the country and many of them have had covid, and at least a dozen have continuing symptoms, three severe enough to be disabled... I have some concerns. I realize you don't.

Also, there is no conclusive test that can determine if an individual has ever had COVID. Or not. Full stop. So, there's no saying the control group didn't have it. Antibodies for COVID may or may not be present for a duration of time after an infection. Or they may not. So there's really no way of knowing what the control group had or did not have.

And while it's certainly true that *some* symptoms of covid are vague and nebulous to fall under the umbrella of things like "fibromyalgia" etc, others are not. I know six people last year who had random blood clots. Three years ago, that number was zero. Another three friends dropped dead from heart attacks. Again, three years ago, that number was zero.

None of this makes me "frightened" of the virus. There's no point. All of it makes me wear a mask and not eat in restaurants.

Why are you such a pathetic sociopath? Childhood trauma?


I thought you were the poster from the health forum that didn’t know what antibodies were. This response pretty much confirms it. You still don’t seem to know what antibodies are, and certainly haven’t bothered to look at the performance of serology tests.

Look at the nucleocapsid tests here:
https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19-emergency-use-authorizations-medical-devices/eua-authorized-serology-test-performance


Antibodies wane over time. You can keep insulting me as much as you want. But your own *science* is about as logical as your *logic,* which tends to posit examples like, "covid is just like the flu!" Or, "why would they expect us to keep getting boosters? We don't have to do that with the flu!" Or, one of my favorites, your recent: "we can't ask people to wear masks now because we might need them to wear masks later!"

Either you're paid, or you're just so far up some government-contracted K-hole that you can't wipe your own self. Either way, your continued attempts to pretend like you're being *scientific* are nothing more than amusing.

Dance, monkey. Dance.

As the FDA’s page shows, serology tests for prior infections are certainly specific and sensitive enough to give good data for controlled covid studies. Your claim that we don't have reliable ways to test for prior infections is simply false.


"...to give good data for controlled COVID studies."

How does the FDA page show this? I didn't originally cite it, and you're the expert. In
my opinion, the phrase "good data" is as vague as the clouds in your head after your bender last night with the cucumber, the needle, and the eightball.

What makes the data good, puppy? Is it selected for people whose purported dates of infection only fall within a narrow range? Are all cases seropositive for COVID antibodies? Or is this like the time you thought your college was good, being as you had no other experience to compare it to?


I know you don't like to learn things that don't support your preexisting views, so I suspect you'll continue to ignore data on the performance of serology tests and antibody levels over time.

But for anyone else that follows this thread, serology tests can include measurements looking for a variety of antibodies, but if you're looking for evidence of past infection in vaccinated subjects, you're mainly going to be looking for immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2. If you look at the FDA's page on the performance of serology tests, these tests have sensitivity and specificity values close to 100%, meaning they're highly likely to detect a prior infection, and they're highly resistant to false positives.

And while antibody levels will wane over time, discussions of that are usually worried about neutralizing antibodies decreasing to levels that aren't sufficient to prevent (re)infection. And in particular, the IgG antibodies used in these serology tests remain detectable for a long time.This study found 100% of people had detectable IgG antibodies 10 months after an infection, dropping slightly to 90% after a year.

The overall trend has been positive, with notable exceptions. Stats to watch in tomorrows data.

This data is from 5/31/22, reported today. There are 271 new student infections and 40 new staff infections reported since yesterday. There have been 1771 active infections at MCPS within the last 10 days. This is 203 more than yesterday's 10-day average. Of 210 schools in MCPS plus Central Office, 33 (16%) are improving, 85 (40%) are steady, and 92 (44%) are getting worse.

10% (20 of 210) schools have an infection rate of 2% or more. 0% (0 of 210) schools have an infection rate of 10% or more.

Massachusetts Department of Public Health posted their daily report. Think the R-Letter-O poster will come back to weigh in the numbers there? I know she was really concerned about it yesterday…

I’m guessing not. At least, starting tonight everyone will deny they were the authors of the posts accusing MA of trying to cover up an imaginary surge in cases.

It must just kill you that no one reads these or cares anymore. You lost this debate.


If that's true, why are you still here on this thread? Not sure why you're trying to convince me I've "lost this debate" that I didn't even know I was debating? You can say all you want and comment all you want. What you don't seem to realize is that it is you that is irrelevant. Yet time and time again, you come back and comment. It's really very sad. Move on with your life and read a different thread. You'll be happier for it. Trust me. In the meantime, those of us who care, and care about our children, will continue to monitor.

An article caught my eye:
"The Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported 7,029 new confirmed COVID cases on Tuesday, after no reports over the long weekend."
https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/massachusetts-reports-7029-new-covid-cases-over-4-days-6-additional-deaths/

Why is this important? On May 30th, Massachusetts reported zero new cases in the entire state, with a 7-DAY-AVERAGE OF 2,060 cases. The question is, how did they get 7,029 new cases in a single day with 0 cases the day prior?


You don't recognize what a batch upload looks like by now? The answer to your question (obvious to everybody else) is that it was a holiday weekend. How could you credibly think that anybody here takes you seriously?


Please refer to my post at 5:32. She’s a lost cause.


Still obsessed with me, cupcake? It's flattering you think every single poster here is me. And I'm touched you're obsessed with my work too. It's creepy and sad, but I mean, look at you.


lol. It's like the guy with the mask.

Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense.

Talking about cases in MA has no relevance to MCPS. Can you all stick to the topic?

I’m guessing not. At least, starting tonight everyone will deny they were the authors of the posts accusing MA of trying to cover up an imaginary surge in cases.

Take it up with R-Naughty. She brought it up.

I bet there’s a better than 50% chance that PP is the one that brought up MA. But now she’s trying to change the subject to avoid admitting she was wrong. It's pretty clear she has some sort of personality disorder.

She’s probably on an important phone call with China. Or rolling around in her wads of cash. Or wildly misinterpreting a scientific study. She could be doing anything, really.
