I vote we stop the stupidity anyway.

Georgia had started what might have been an upsurge last week but it appears to have abated and trended lower (newly reported cases around 1200 per day, a third of the June figure).

School started over a month ago, most places are doing in classroom teaching.  It will be interesting to see if being indoors more triggers an upsurge.

I should check on Sweden again.

Florida also continues to trend down. Lowest case count per day (7 day average) since mid-June, with double the testing. Cases in my area are almost non-existent. 

People are doing the right things from what I see. I'm encouraged.

You guys realize that 30-50,000 people die each year from the flu.  So your saying you're not getting a flu shot is akin to saying you're not getting a covid vaccine when there is one, and you're only being around 1/6 the asshole.  You get that, right?

The reason to get a flu shot really is not to avoid getting the flu (unless you are vulnerable), which perhaps makes sense, or not.

R naught.

What are the typical precautions that people are seeing where students are actually going back to school across the country? 

Here, both schools my kids attend mandate 100% mask usage for students. The public district is doing hybrid 1/2 in person and 1/2 distance learning for the people that chose to send their kids back (100% distance learning is also an option) so that they can stagger a morning and an afternoon class to keep classes smaller and limit interaction. Luckily for the special ed they are full day instruction, though, because my son needs that. The charter school the other two go to is full day instruction (but 100% distance learning is also an option) and they're requiring the bluetooth thermometer and a morning temp check that you have to verify on an app at drop-off. They're also staggering drop-off and pickup times to limit interaction. 

However, I don't know if California's precautions are more stringent than what you might see in some of the more aggressive reopening states...

Thoughts from fellow parents or people who just have paid attention to what the schools are doing?

I just checked and most counties around me are not yet back to school, but are starting now, with masks required.

https://www.fultonschools.org/Page/21403

I thought they had gone back earlier.  The details vary by county, and the metro area is 15 counties or so depending.

UGA has been back in class and so far doing pretty well apparently.

I've never had the flu, so I'm not spreading it, regardless of whether or not I get the flu shot.

If I feel sick, I stay home.  Everybody should.

If we're going to extend the line even further to "asymptomatic spread of flu is a serious health concern" then we're chasing the rabbit so far down the hole we may never get back out.

Perhaps all of the current problems with coronavirus will help employers better understand they shouldn't be pressuring employees to come into work if they're sick, which has been an issue in this country, to date.

Sick people stay home.

Not only have I never had the flu my mother, father, two brothers and sister never have had it either and no one ever got a flu shot

in fact thinking back very few of any of my friends ever had the flu

I dont have any problem with getting a flu shot but never saw a need

some folks get the flu much easier then others Im one of the ones who just doesnt get the flu

dont know why but its just the facts

Dr. Mike Yeadon, a former Vice President and Chief Science Officer for Pfizer for 16 years, says that half or even "almost all" of tests for COVID are false positives. Dr. Yeadon also argues that the threshold for herd immunity may be much lower than previously thought, and may have been reached in many countries already.

In an interview last week Dr. Yeadon was asked:

"we are basing a government policy, an economic policy, a civil liberties policy, in terms of limiting people to six people in a meeting...all based on, what may well be, completely fake data on this coronavirus?"

Dr. Yeadon answered with a simple "yes."

Even more significantly, even if all positives were to be correct, Dr. Yeadon said that given the "shape" of all important indicators in a worldwide pandemic, such as hospitalizations, ICU utilization, and deaths, "the pandemic is fundamentally over."

Yeadon said in the interview:

"Were it not for the test data that you get from the TV all the time, you would rightly conclude that the pandemic was over, as nothing much has happened. Of course people go to the hospital, moving into the autumn flu season...but there is no science to suggest a second wave should happen."
