Sweden's worst day in late June was 1,311 new cases.  Right after that the figure plummeted.  They are running about 400 a day now, and perhaps slightly trending up.  Deaths are 1-2-3 per day now.

Georgia's worse day around the same time period was 3,800 or so, now down around 1,400 new cases.

Could be.  I continue to have a cough that I haven't been able to shake since March.

I picked up a negative test. Haven't don't the antibodies yet. Need to find some excuse for that. Maybe blood donation or a checkup that might be overdue.

I had antibodies after 2 months, and none at 4 months. My T cells are working now.

Haven't had a cold since, by the way. I've read that the antibodies/T cells act to ward off the common cold too. The vaccine will as well.

I'd be nervous if I was the owner of a company like Nyquil or something.

I suspect P&G isn't going to worry about Nyquil sales that much.

They seem to be fairing quite well with sales of cleaning products these days, and toilet paper, which obviously is a critical need when you have a cold.

There's also some research now that the amount of droplets you initially get, may determine how severe your case is.  So masks may be helpful there, in preventing the number of droplets.

Also means some people may have been exposed, but to such a low dose, that it effectively worked as a vaccine.

I hope this is false.  
Children emit MUCH more droplets on average.  I know there hasn't been some massive issue with schools being back in session, but again, this thing doesn't progress on our timeline.

It is tough to tease out how much may be due to schools in session.  Many are not of course.  I thought Georgia was creeping up, but that trend has "died down".

France is seeing a real problem and they restarted schools.  Their public schools are all Federal.  How much is due to schools and how much due to August vacations is impossible to know.  The wife thinks it's mostly the latter.

The south there is particularly hard hit.

They aren't tracking by schools here.  I get that it's tough to do.  It certainly doesn't seem to be leading to an overall rise, but might be useful to know if there is a cluster at X middle school, just like at X Bar.  The only people who know if its the case though I suppose would be the teachers and administrators in the building, and they aren't talking.  I believe a school in Michigan shut down after just 4 cases, because all 4 kids were in the same elementary class, with no out of school contact.  It was a rural school, and rarely is it going to be that clean.  4 kids get it.  Was it on the bus?  Do they all play basketball together?  Is it a coincidence?  TOugh to make the right call, because if you shut down prematurely, certain parents are pissed; if you fail to shut down and there is a larger outbreak...well...

Hence why the schools my kids are going to are mandating masks for all students at all time. 

I realize there's probably a lot of the country that isn't doing that, but IMHO if you're putting kids back into school, wearing a mask should be a part of that.

I care more about % positive than I do raw case numbers. Where is GA right now with that? FL is hovering about 4% now.

But % positive can just be an artifact of raw cases/test numbers though, so I don't find it to be particularly enlightening either.

Really, the only way to compare the severity/impact from one region to another, is to look at a normalized view of hospitalizations/ICU/deaths.
