Q: say elementary school open back up for all in person learning... When a teacher tests positives (when, not if), do they have to use sick leave for their 14 day quarantine? Do the kids in the class + parents also need to self quarantine? If a students family does not have insurance, who pays for them to get tested? Does the quarantine stop with that class room? What about the music teacher, art teacher, lunch lady, school nurse who have all come in close direct contact with a student that caught it from their teacher?

Said it in the Big Ten Thread, will repeat here;

the sooner we all accept there will be no college football this year, the better off we'll be.

Give it time, those that do die from it are typically hospitalized for a while first, you'll likely see deaths tracking up sooner than later.

In LA County, for example, as of two days ago, hospitalizations have jumped 41% in the past 3 weeks, with covid-19 patients in ICUs up 35% over a two week period.

They are looking at running out of ICU beds in 2 - 3 weeks.

This is troubling, and hopefully not common nationally, the big spike here in Dare Co is mostly being linked to one large gathering (27 of the recent cases)

This week we have experienced some disturbing and irresponsible behavior from individuals who are being called by our team members regarding isolation and quarantine. We are required to contact individuals who have either tested positive for COVID-19 or determined to be a direct contact of a laboratory confirmed positive case. This week our callers have been hung up on and spoken to inappropriately when they have called. Additionally, people have refused to cooperate, refused to provide critical information for contact tracing and indicated they will not comply with quarantine and isolation orders.

However, the rapid recovery has not been the experience of thousands - perhaps tens of thousands - of patients worldwide who've been classified as mild cases. Many struggle for months with lingering Covid-19 symptoms that can be debilitating. They exhibit shortness of breath, extreme fatigue, intermittent fevers, cough, concentration issues, chest pressure, headaches, and heart palpitations, among other symptoms. The literature has a name for them: "long-haulers."
