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

Minnesota is leaving decisions to districts, but gave out guidance on when and how to proceed. Basically, a 14-day countywide rolling average of confirmed new cases determines how much students are in the building. Anywhere from everyone is in, to various hybrids of distance and in-person, to everyone's distant. Masks/face coverings anytime in the building.

Details are sufficiently gritty that it was hard to fully explain in yesterday's presser, but it seems like a decent attempt to thread the needle between the need for kids to be in school and the fact that kids catch and spread the virus just as much as adults do.

basically, they a study in Germany looked at 100 COVID patients and compared their heart exams before and after infection.  78 of them showed heart damage to some degree... and not all were hospitalized.

There could be selection bias and I wouldn't say this study is without fault, but it should warrant more study.

I wonder if the heart damage associated with CHQ usage might actually be just this.

Teachers are generally scared, and I don't blame them.

Parents are scared too, in two ways.

One, is the kid going to catch it and bring it home. Two, what happens to the kid's learning - especially those with special needs - if it's all online?

Every teacher I know is absolutely petrified at the prospect of going back to the classroom. 

A good friend of my wife is a special ed teacher in Massachusetts. The district is buying her a hazmat suit, as she will be in person 5 days a week. 

I take it as almost certain that ANY journalistic report on ANY topic technical will be misleading and even completely false.

Not so easy to get a covid test.  

My better half showing lots of symptoms- aches, chills, fever, nausea.  

Been trying to line one up for 3 days.  

CVS locations all just say” we apologize, we were unable to fulfill your request” no matter which location or time I choose. 

Several local clinics advertise they have testing but once you complete the online form they say you are registered and for convenience they will contact you.  But none of those local clinics have returned the contact  after 3 days. 

I have called the 2 local hospitals and they say you need a referral and an appointment, but she doesn’t have a local doctor and nobody is taking new patients. 

I guess there is not much they can do anyway so we are just quarantining her anyway.  

Good luck, @Honestbuckeye -- hope your better half recovers well and you avoid any symptoms yourself.

Thanks.  She is already improving. She is “quite a bit” younger than me. 😬

Really? That’s strange. My wife runs a healthcare clinic down here. Anybody can call there and request a test and they will set you up an appointment usually within 24-48 hours.  My daughter plays travel softball and we had to get all the kids tested a couple of weeks ago because  we had potential exposure at a tournament.  Most of the team went to the clinic over a 2-3 day period and all of us got tested.

And it wasn’t a situation where my wife pulled strings to get it done either.  It’s just standard for whoever wants tested.
