CNN = 🐥 News Network -
As soon as I see CNN as a source I stop reading.
They have no relationship with the truth.
If you want me to read a post don’t cite CNN.Comment

Public health data is what it is and can be easily verified. It's how it's interpreted that is up for debate. Or, be like FOX and don't report at all.Comment

Connecticut’s top health officials are preparing for another surge in coronaviruses cases in our state.
Dr. Matthew Cartter, Connecticut’s chief epidemiologist, said it’s not if- but when.
Scientists have learned a lot about COVID-19 and how to mitigate its spread. However, there are still a lot of unknowns.
According to the state’s epidemiologists, 5 percent of the population has been infected.
That leaves a large chunk without immunity and at risk of getting infected.
Cartter said people need to stop thinking about coronavirus waves and instead think of a resurgence.
That means we’ll have an ongoing spread.
Some places like Connecticut right now may see lower rates of infection where other places like Florida will be surging with no distinct waves.
Cartter said it’s hard to predict when a surge will happen in Connecticut, but they are trying to figure out better ways to know when it’s about to happen so the state can implement control measures.
“It is likely that we will see a resurgence, [but] exactly when none of us can predict,” Cartter said. “Whether it goes up sharply or gradually is up to us and what we do.”
Since Friday, 223 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and 23 people died from complications with it. Only six of those, however, were contracted recently. The rest were called “catch up cases.”
Hospitalizations continue to drop.
Doctors said they are comparing it to the flu, because it’s the best comparison at this time.
That means, according to Cartter, that we should treat infections as a giant wave with peaks, not recurring waves.
Also, doctors are hoping that the spike in infections does not overlap with the flu itself.
“We are concerned about having flu season around the same time as COVID-19,” Cartter said. “With any luck, influenza season will happen when it usually does for us, usually get started in late summer and goes through January and February. If we see a resurgence of COVID-19 it would be better for it to come before then.”
Gov. Ned Lamont said despite the low infection rates in Connecticut, now is not the time to relax.
He advised people to continue staying home when possible and to continue wearing facemasks.Comment

The US-Canada border is expected to remain closed until at least Aug. 21, two Canadian government sources with knowledge of the situation tell CNN.
There will be stepped-up enforcement and surveillance at most Canadian land borders in the coming weeks, the sources add.
By mutual agreement, the US-Canada border has been closed to all non-essential traffic since March.
The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity, as they are not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to formally announce the decision later this week.
CNN has reached out to US officials for comment.
President Trump and Prime Justin Minister Trudeau discussed the matter briefly during a phone call Monday morning, according to Trudeau’s office.
Also on Monday, Trudeau said Canada recognizes that the US coronavirus pandemic is a "complex" situation.Comment

Just think about college students returning to CT and regional colleges in a few weeks that will be coming from hot states. They're supposed to quarantine for 2 weeks, but will they? There's already been cases of FL travelers lying to NY state on their airline forms and then it turns out they were sick.Comment

Yeah, I saw the plan at the college where I work. They seriously expect a few thousand 18-22 year olds to gather in one location and then lock themselves into their dorms for two weeks. I'm old, but not so old that I don't remember my college days. A situation like that is just begging for a two-week raging bender. And the school had better be planning on handing out condoms.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I don't even know why they bother with a quarantine thing. Even with single rooms they all share bathrooms and common spaces. They absolutely will hang out together. Then there's all the off campus housing that won't even be monitored.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
They should require a negative Covid test 3 days before starting classes. Have the school set it up on campus. It wouldn't stop every case but would help a lot. You can't start classes without getting a test.Comment
