[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been tracking the COVID numbers very closely in Virginia, with a focus on Vienna (I live in town)l. Probably someone reading this follows my facebook posts.

I am very concerned about the observed lack of social distancing.  Outside is safer than inside, but not safe.  And we do not know what is going on in peoples houses.  I have seen facebook photos of kids and the friends at home.

With that said, the data right now shows that teens and tweens have the lowest growth rate of any age group in Northern VA, with a slightly negative Rt.  My guess is there is a teen/tween bubble.  They isolate themselves.  As long as the virus in to in the age group, they will remain ok.  But, that could change quickly.

I am very concerned.

But, with that said, it is a small minority of kids that are doing this.  My DD and her friends are all social isolating.  And the number of young people I see is a small fraction of the community.  But, there are some adult roll models, largely sports coaches (including highly regarded school coaches) that are encouraging kids to play there sports.  And there is not social distancing -- there could be....close the bleachers to spectators and use those to spread out.

Oh, and I do not believe this is isolated to Vienna.  I see the same thing in Fairfax and in Arlington.

I am seeing the opposite. My kid's friends have not being socially distancing from the March, was hanging out all together at everyone's houses and outdoors, went together to beach houses, playing sports together, having sleepovers. We have a lot of MD parents in this group and a lot of scientists parents and we are all OK with this. [b]None of the kids or parents became ill with Covid so far. I am sorry if you succumb to all this "social distancing" thing and have to put your and your child's life on hold[/b].[/quote]

You don't understand how science works do you?[/quote]

I perfectly understand how viruses work and I understand how human immune system respond to it. So far, everything goes like it should be -- kids are getting exposed to the virus and building their immune system in response. [/quote]

And getting the adults around them sick.  Unfortunately, there neighbor, who is diabetic.  Dies...But you got to offing plat.  F*CTARDS!
[/quote]

No one canceled the Darwin law... your neighbor who is diabetic will die, the healthy human species will survive and continue to contribute to earth's population. [/quote]

As a Vienna resident with diabetes and heart disease, I can only hope your genes are better than mine.  As for darwinism, I have procreated, and passed my genes off.

The good news is medicine negates most of my issues....you, however, will remain an asshole.[/quote]

Apparently your medicine does not help you with being judgmental and calling other people names. Maybe you should get a new prescription. [/quote]

Nope.  Anyone telling me to go to and die is an asshole.  It is that simple, really.  They are a judgmental asshole. [/quote]
