It disgusted me. It makes no logical sense to bother with tracing on the hospitalized male who tested positive, yet refuse to test segments of the population that likely would test positive. No, we will just send them home and pretend they are negative and not worry about their tracing.

And not one of those officials seem sympathetic to the patients at all. The one doctor was just smirking.

Didn’t watch the presser - are they even contact tracing for this guy or nah? Sounds like he was out and about from last week until he was hospitalized this wk so I’m thinking they’d like to know where he works, if he went in, did he go places on the weekend etc?

Also different question — where was the AIPAC event? Was there a conference hotel?

There is also a LOT of privilege being used here. For example, the Rockville people who, at first tried to have it concealed " travelled to an unknown location " claiming privacy until Maryland Board of Health released it to the press that they had been on a cruise in Egypt and that one of them had visited a Nursing home in Rockville post return. The MD DOH released the name of that Nursing home as rightly they should.

Same should happen with the " individual " who was at CPAC and AIPAC who " later visited a school in PA. Given this person's travel and appearances it is likely a politician. I am not saying name the person, but come on.... be smart and post in press everywhere this person went .

Then, they should really shut down these conventions, political rallies and perhaps people over age 60 should not mingle in public , but stay home

Healthy children, teens, go to school.

Fever, fatigue, dry cough, loss of appetite, muscle aches, shortness of breath starting around day 5 and respiratory symptoms progressing fairly rapidly with presentation to hospital with respiratory concerns typically about day 7.

Least common symptoms (less than 10% of cases):
Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headaches, diarrhea, abdominal pain, runny nose, sore throat, coughing up sputum / blood.

Sources: Wang et al ( n = 138), Chen et al ( n = 99), and Huang et al ( n = 41). All found similar symptom profiles.

I am very suspicious my DS had this in early February as did many kids at school. Lots of absences. Like events cancelled because too many participants were out sick. And email notices that kid would be absent bounced back because the person you sent it to was out sick. My DC's symptoms: out of nowhere high fever, chills, exhausted, slept for over a day, aches, dry cough, dizzy, slight soar throat. Strep and flu tests were negative. It did not progress to respiratory, though the dry cough lingered. I rarely take this kid to the doctor for a sick visit. Glad I did, as it is in the records and I'm sure every office is reviewing their cases histories.

Same here, my entire family got sick within 1 day. Fevers of kids and adults from 103-105. All of us were tested and only one adult got a positive Flu A test. I was told that this year's flu tests have a large rate of false negatives.

If you get diagnosed (or not but Covid-19 coronavirus) and then recover are you immune from getting it again?

So these PPs illustrated above/children. Could they now be immune? I was also very sick in Feb w a weird set of flu like symptoms, tested neg for flu, had a flu vax, spent one week in bed, weak and coughing.

This is not easily answerable because we don't have good data.

There have been cases claiming to be reinfected, there has also been a case of a person 'cured' and sent home only to die from it a few days later. Most scientists think that you should develop immunities (like many other diseases) but there are these individual reports that are giving them pause. Testing is so inaccurate worldwide that someone testing 'negative' or 'positive' is kind of suspect in some places.

Basically, too early to answer that question with perfect confidence.

I know a mom with younger kids in Colorado who said in mid February, the entire family and in laws had high fevers (104) for almost a week and all tested negative for flu. Now she's wondering if they had covid and nobody knew. [/]

Two of my kids and lots of other kids we know had a virus in Jan/Feb that was negative for both flu strains but knocked the kid out for a week and the main feature was a sudden and sustained high fever, sleeping all day, muscle aches.

I am school nurse and I + 1,000 this. Actually, since November/ Dec we have had lots of kids with fever , head ache , GI upset test neg for Flu and Strep

The second indicator is that the only deaths so far are in Nursing homes.... it needed some time to get there and settle in... likely months spreading in our country undetected ( kids only get mildly sick ) until it reached its vulnerable population in Nursing homes and people started calling 911 in clusters... that got the Fire Chief to call DOH in Washington State

So why are we just focused on schools ? These are healthy kids who only get a mild illness.

Stop the Cruise ships. Stop the political rallies and close sports to spectators. Continue to educate young healthy people.
