New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy today on schools and some new restrictions:
Murphy did say schools continue to be a positive point during the pandemic, with 52 cases of in-school transmission in the state out of about 3,000 buildings.
Asked if the state will close schools if numbers reach a certain level, the governor said: “I hope not. Our school experience has actually been a good one so far.”
“Schools, by the way, are a good example of when you prepare properly, you socially distance, you put barriers up, you mandate masking,” he said on WPIX. “That’s the reason why we’re seeing a low level of transmission in schools — because they’re doing it the right way.”
Private indoor gatherings will be dropped from 25 to 10 people and outdoor gatherings from 500 to 150 people with the winter holidays fast approaching, Murphy said.
But the governor said the change does not affect the current 25% capacity limits on indoor dining in the state. Plus, current indoor limits on weddings, funerals, movie theaters, performances, religious services, and political activities — up to 25% of a venue’s capacity, with a maximum of 150 people — will remain, Murphy’s office told NJ Advance Media. Outdoor religious services and political activities will continue to have no limit.
Good to hear of schools in other places being successful. Now if we could only get parents to listen and behave as well as their kids do.
Press conference scheduled, new expected to be expected.
Moderna just announced 94.5% effective rate and better storage temps. This is great news.
Outstanding news. 2 of the major vaccines showing 90%+ effectiveness so far is better than we could have hoped for a couple months ago. I remember some discussion a while back(possibly on CNN) with experts hoping for 70-75% effectiveness.
These mRNA vaccines used by Pfizer/Moderna are groundbreaking if proven effective. I'm talking about for future generations of humans facing whatever virus's we stew up with our reckless behavior in the coming centuries. These would be the first mRNA vaccines on the market. To think science is to the point where we can trick the human body into fighting off a virus that it's never seen is an astounding accomplishment. Almost as astounding as those who still won't wear a mask or commit to taking one of the vaccines if proven safe which seems almost assured at this point.

I agree so many terrible illnesses people suffer with now could well be cured with this technique. It is really history being made and the future generations will benefit i believe

I think it is going to be tough for me to snap back to pre-covid sloppiness. I wont be quite as extreme as now, but I am way more conscious of dirty surfaces in public areas, doorknobs, hand washing,

Good that in-school transmission is low(How do they figure that out?) but kids/staff are getting the Virus.

For me, it's been a great learning curve for how to stay well. I've been on deaths door with the flu and pretty sure coronavirus would do me in. I'm sticking with the program from here on out. I know I won't live forever, but I'm stretching out this life as long as reasonably possible, and as long as there is quality of life.

I'm a germaphobe of the old school. I was already using towels to pull open bathroom doors, using my feet to push open, hitting elevator buttons with my knuckle, coughing into by elbow, etc. And I've always wanted hand-shaking to go away as a custom. I didn't refuse to do it because of what that could do to relationships but I was always conscious of that hand until I could wash or sanitize it. I'm hoping hand-shaking goes away.
All that said, despite my germaphobic tendencies, I feel like I've still learned a lot, particularly when it comes to protecting others. Now that working from home is a viable option in my office-based job, I'll do it if I am "iffy." I did have a "tough it out" history. I do hope a general improvement comes along, at the very least the (I'm guessing) 50% of males that use public bathrooms and don't wash goes way up.

It will be even better when/if they know the immunity level it provides. Is it 6 month, 1 year, or a lifetime. I also believe this is a single dose vaccine vs. the multiple dose that Pfizer has.
As much as I hope an effective vaccine becomes available, a part of me is a bit hesitant...
I have a feeling it will be like the flu shot - once a year or so. At this point, I don't even mind if we have to get it every 6 months. I just want to be able to get some semblance of normalcy back in terms of socializing, going to concerts, not being so fearful, not having to wear a mask, etc.

Im with you on these germaphobe life hacks. Been like it many years. I feel the same

Here in KC (& the surrounding metro area), there are new restrictions in place. Sadly, it’s too little too late. Hospitals are almost at capacity with only about 20 open ICU beds in the metro.
Society should still practice Covid precuastions a few weeks every flu season going forward (Washing hands longer, social distancing etc)
Would save a lot of elderly people every year
You can not get Americans on board with now (240 000+ deaths)...they'll never go for it in the flu season...
americans would just brush flu season off and say "it is just a less severe and less lethal form of coronavirus".
because on the whole americans think they know everything. i had no idea that people i went to school with who dropped out in 10th grade are infectious disease experts on social media now.

I don't think this is an american thing
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
there is a very religious city about a half hour out of winnipeg, called Steinbach, pop of about 15K. There was an anti-mask rally there that attracted about a hundred people.

They are veritable Renaissance scholars. At the beginning of this year they were all Constitutional experts as well, giving their vast knowledge of impeachment law to us commoners.
