Considering I'd have a better chance of surviving stepping on a land mine, I quit taking risks here. I don't let shoppers get away with wearing a chin strap anymore. The Amish just laugh at me because only God decides if they get sick and die. That's no more idiotic than the GOP calling it an overblown hoax.

Frankly, I want to barricade the doors and dig a hole in my family room floor. My daughter just called me this morning to tell me she and her room mate are on lockdown AGAIN due to another workplace exposure. I think this is maybe the fifth time now that one or both of them has been exposed between their two workplaces. Sadly, this is most likely going to become even more frequent as the viral spread continues.

I am grateful to be working from home but I am terrified for my husband. He's still doing about half time in his office and I hope to hell he stops before it's too late.

The CDC should really be using their methods to supplement what they do — the way things are now depends on people going to the doctor, and the doctor taking the time to fill out paperwork and send it to the CDC, then CDC people inputting the data. It takes a lot of time to put together and you as an ordinary person only find out when you read the newspaper.

The Kinsa concept is to identify patterns and then changes in those patterns. It started with the flu, in other words before the pandemic was even thought of. People take their own temperature at home routinely — kid or spouse complains of aches and has a cough and Mom shoves a thermometer into their mouth. They may or may not go to the doc at all, depending on the results over the next few days. However, the Kinsa computers aggregate all this information immediately. If enough people in your community are running a fever, it shows up as a spike on the charts.

The Kinsa scientists discovered they could predict the onset of flu in a region two weeks ahead of the CDC’s ability to do so.

I think it’s fascinating.

We have some of the the lowest risk of anyone posting. Maine has been trending poorly in recent weeks. It is important that Mainers take all the recommended precautions so we don't end up with this getting out hand like it is in other parts of the country.

People in risk groups (me) take precautions; minimize social contact

My sister’s county in New York is at 54 — high risk. Avoid all social contact if in a higher- risk group (she is; she had COVID in January)

I love the whole concept of Kinsa. What an intelligent group.

I live in a moderate county but work in a high county. I reckon it's masks and handwashing for a long while more.

He's done with it.

He asked me if I personally knew anyone who has died from it.

I told him yes, I went to a funeral yesterday for a wonderful lady who died of Covid, a dear friend.

He asked me how old she was.

I answered 85.

He said "Well, there you go" and walked away like he'd just made some kind of point.

...and sparsely populated places in northern NH, where maps of my state show much lower rates of infection (I think, but I'm not sure, lower per-capita, not just in absolute numbers). A range from 62 down to 55, both in the "high risk" range.

33 (moderate risk) is the lowest I could find, just trying this place and that, in Vermont. I'm guessing this means "moderate risk" is the best it gets nearly anywhere in the US, and that most places are "high risk" or worse category.

Covid cases / 1000 population vary by up to a factor of 2 or 3 for different local governments within the county.

56. Is school full time in person in your area
Thu Nov 19, 2020, 02:45 PM
Nov 2020

or a hybrid of half time remote and half time in person? 600 is an awful lot of kids to be exposed to, so it sounds like your school probably isn't doing hybrid model. Maine schools are doing hybrid model. There's about 10 kids or less per class that way and they do not interact the other classes. According to this website, we are 36%, moderate risk in Maine right now. It's insane that other places aren't doing the same things. I'm glad we have Gov. Mills right now. I read that she is hesitating on doing any new lock down measure, like business closures, at the moment because federal relief funds have dried up. Gee, thanks Republican controlled senate. I think she will take action again and probably soon. She is trying to be smart about it.

More cases than all surrounding counties for quite some distance. Not surprising. Trump got 14k votes here, Biden 6k. Nobody wears masks (except, strangely, at Lowe's). Lots of idiots here who think it's a hoax. Eight deaths out of 800+ cases.
