Highlights..go to link for detail..
1. Children of all ages can contract and transmit COVID-19

2. The federal government is no longer in charge of distributing Gilead's remdesivir

3. Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine won't be ready to widely distribute until spring 2021 at the earliest

4. Children account for 10 percent of all COVID-19 cases in the U.S., up from 2.2 percent in April

5. The National Institutes of Health is allocating nearly $234M in funds to improve COVID-19 testing in underserved and vulnerable communities.

1. They can allow cruises all

they want. Thinking folks will not choose to go on them. Only the covidiots who will get it.

2. Cruise ships, Casinos, Gyms, Bars are all human petri dishes and should be closed

I wouldn't want my children in schools in person either and churches pack people in pews.

3. Not sure what is going on yet in our state (NM). Just a couple of weeks ago we were doing well.

Had nearly 300 new cases yesterday, 2 weeks ago we were often well below 100.

Recent relaxation of rules to allow restaurants 25% capacity and some schools to have in person classes
is not good. Also quarantine rules for out of state visitors were relaxed. Governor may have to retreat on this.

NM colleges:

New Mexico

8 schools
