you know, I was thinking. Between the long weekend and the East Coast storm likely knocking congregation down ... maybe just maybe this will put a real dent in cases and inpatient hospitalizations.
as to T-cell death in kids with long Covid (I guess meaning the T-cells die, not the kids) are you talking about this?
No not the kids dying, but kids (and adults too) with longCOVID finding their immune systems ravaged as a result of infection.
I saw a virologist recently saying that they and their colleagues see quite a bit of overlap between COVID and HIV in terms of what it does to the immune systems of some people. The impacts to the brain as well.
Here’s some findings on it. I could post others but want to leave it with just the original science-y write up
Watching the WCPSS board work session, they have a rep from NCDHHS "answering questions". She has deferred probably 50% of the questions at least.
It's embarassing how many questions that should have simple answers, they are unable to answer. This includes but is not limited to "how many covid hospitalizations are people who are in the hospital with covid versus from covid". If people honestly believe that we aren't able to collect this sort of data two years into Covid, then I don't know what to tell you.
The question is, why aren't they collecting it? Is it because the hospitals don't want to provide it (ie $$$ for covid patients), or is it because the government chooses not to collect it? Neither is acceptable.

suffice it to say, that is far too dense for me to follow along. I did note high rates (70%+) of Long Covid - fatigue and muscle weakness) for the hospitalized and a 21% Long Covid rate for all even at 8 months ... both of which are certainly troubling.
I did find it amazing there are only 3 WCPSS clusters, and they're all high schools with just 5 cases. And a huge one (50 kids) at a Charter school in Wendell Falls.

I'm sure there are so many asymptomatic cases in the high schools....DD is a senior and she probably knows more people who had it the last couple of weeks than not. It's like lice at this point.
- Once she was finished she returned back to work while she waited for the results. In the meantime, she was continuing to handle and serve food. This negligence have put my family at risk as well as the community. Anyone who was served at this McDonald's today needs to be aware that they've been compromised.
- I may be totally wrong, but I thought you could not get covid from food.
- Ok, this may be a silly question, but what about the bags/wrappings/containers that he food is in? Cannot those items be containmentated?
- Thanks for the response. I have heard so much about COVID, and how you can get it. I thought it could last on countertops, plastic gloves, bags, etc. for up to three days.
- Unless you live in a bubble, you're exposed to this daily, if you have your mask on, you're good to go.
Good to see that after 2 years people have a solid understanding of how an airborne virus works, and how masks work. No wonder so many are still worried.
Anything can happen of course, but it looks like the graphs are showing early signs of a peak. Which would make sense following other parts of the country.
Massachusetts is now tracking primary versus incidental Covid hospitalizations. Better late than never I guess? Still much further than NC is.
Not surprisingly, about half are incidental.
It's really crazy that this sort of data has not come forth sooner. How come? Why have we been given misleading data for 2 years?
