Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

thank you coach, may I have another

My daughter reports there is a COVID-19 positive test in her graduate program, someone in her classroom section of 15-students. I believe they wear masks indoors at all times, so I think it is low risk for her. The kids rumored it out into the open. No contact tracers called her. Lucky it was caught today (Sunday).  She was supposed to do some type of clinical exercise in a 3-person group with this guy tomorrow.

I suggested someone report this to faculty immediately, on Sunday.  I doubt anyone reported it. We will see how the university handles it. The university's website was reporting "0" cases Friday. Their website says they have protocols in place, but the website does not say what protocols are in place when someone tests positive. Will her section go to remote learning? We'll see.

apparently his guy has symptoms and got a test?  or random testing?

lucky it came out
hopefully the University does the safe thing

as well as intentional and unintentional injury, poisoning and other adverse events.”

The report has been misinterpreted as these conditions being “underlying,” which is not accurate. They are “contributing” conditions, many of which can be brought about by the virus.

If you subtract virus deaths from total deaths how does that number compare with prior years deaths

if its lower then previous years then virus death may have been inflated

Deaths of all causes are running at 111% of "normal", and normal is a pretty tight figure.  We have had so far 1.8 million deaths due to all causes in the US this year.  That is about 190,000 over normal.

If current US virus deaths are 187,000 and we are 190,000 above normal then thats pretty much in line

Contributing factors can include diabetes, obesity, heart disease or respiratory issues.

Percentage of the US population with:

• Diabetes: 9.4%
• Obesity: 42.4%
• Heart disease: anywhere from 9% to 48% depending how you classify it
• Respiratory issues: can't find a "total" number but asthma is maybe 8% and COPD another 5%

Now, obviously some people may have multiple of these. 

But if the argument is that "unhealthy" or "high-risk" people should lock themselves at home so the healthy people can do whatever they want, that's probably >50% of the US.
