My office had been holding tight at officially being telework for those that can until Thanksgiving. I knew we'd get that into 2021. Why bring people back during the Nov/Dec holidays right after they get together with family? But I was suprised today to see that we're officially until at least June.

But Horwitz and Mateen say that factors outside of doctors' control are also playing a role in driving down mortality. Horwitz believes that mask-wearing may be helping by reducing the initial dose of virus a person receives, thereby lessening the overall severity of illness for many patients.
And Mateen says that his data strongly suggest that keeping hospitals below their maximum capacity also helps to increase survival rates. When cases surge and hospitals fill up, "staff are stretched, mistakes are made, it's no one's fault — it's that the system isn't built to operate near 100%," he says.

i honestly didn't know that the "amount' of virus you contract would make a difference.

I remember reading about viral load in the early days of this. It was speculation at that time.

And England roll around on the floor like a dog . like nothing is happening . I seriously think boris is unwell
What is the main problem in England concerning this right now?
People are defiant when really im in the health before wealth group. Also we are a country of people who think they know best. Science should be the only truth in this. Sadly its not.

Viral load is THE most important thing to know. It really is the difference between mild infection and severe disease.

Social media has a responsibility that it again neglects. Our hospitals are filling and the deaths still going up each day . Plus we have some pathetic 3 tier scheme that makes as much sense as the last 4 slogans and buzz phrases such as. Hands.. space... face I mean ffs this Labrador of a p.m needs to quit. Not fit to do his job in any way .I just saw that yesterday we recorded our highest death toll since march and over 21.000 cases in a day. We have failed and whats more its going to go to shit because of this man.

Really? Interesting to see what info people are getting.
I've been thinking about this, based on what I've read, like noise exposure. The amount and the time of exposure all matter and make it worse.

all of a sudden everyone's an epidemiologist. lol
no, i didn't know. I guess it's more that the thought didn't cross my mind. i thought the severity of the virus was qualitative not quantitative.
Just curious, does anyone who has to wear a mask all day at work have sinus issues? A lot of my coworkers and myself are getting sinus infections and sinus headaches and just sinus problems. Some of them are saying its wearing a mask for 6+ hours a day, I'm not sold on that idea yet though. But there's definitely a lot of sinus issues going on here.

I wear mine 8 hours a day. I have zero issues from the mask. Not heard any of my coworkers say they are having medical issues from it either. 200+ employees.

I'm in a school. Kids still don't wash hands. The jar of hand sanitizer I've had on the counter for students since the first day of school is still completely full. Kids still want to touch everything. There's been something going around, I figured it was still just germy kids not washing hands rather than the mask.

I definitely feel slight pressure around my sinuses sometimes.

I know allergies have hit hard here right now and everyone is having sinus issues. My wife’s were severe enough that she went in and got a COVID-19 test (negative). Also, just heard from a local doctor that Flu cases are starting to pop up again, so that season is about to hit as well :( On another weird note, I donate blood whenever I get a chance and have never had any issues. I got sick and started vomiting this last time, though. The workers said that they have seen a lot more people getting sick when giving blood and they attributed it to the masks (maybe getting hot or?). Just a strange side note and something to keep in mind if you give blood (as you should if you are a decent, caring human being ).
I wonder what this flu season's going to be like. I'd anticipate fewer cases than most years because of the social distancing (and the masks?). But those who get it are going to be more nervous than in years past.
When I'm out and about (which essentially consists of grocery shoppoing and outdoor fitness), I rarely hear so much as a cough or sneeze...but I wonder with winter coming (record-breaking snow for this early in Minnesota yesteray!) if that's going to change (and how people will react to it.
The shit really hit the fan in early- to mid-March. Here in the north, that was pretty ideal timing. It wasn't long before we were able to get outside, seasonal illness wasn't prevalent, days were getting longer, and it was a positive time of year. Winter's going to be a whole new ballgame here both physically and mentally/emotionally.
