    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.

    These 2 paragraphs really stood out for me:

    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.


    Thanks for posting.

    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.

    Not sure why they had signs posted saying “No photos or videos allowed”.

    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.
