The U.S. hit its second consecutive daily COVID-19 case record Nov. 5, reporting more than 115,000 cases, according to The Washington Post.
Twenty states also set new daily COVID-19 case records Nov. 5, reports the Post.
Five other updates:
1. Some COVID-19 patients report parosmia, an often temporary and unpleasant odor distortion, reports The Washington Post. "It's more debilitating in some ways than loss of smell," said Richard Doty, PhD, director of Philadelphia-based University of Pennsylvania's Smell and Taste Center. Thousands of accounts of parosmia and phantosmia, or smelling scents that aren't there, have flooded social media platforms in the last few months, reports the Post.
2. The first available doses of a COVID-19 vaccine will go to healthcare workers, José Romero, MD, head of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, told NPR Nov. 5. As the CDC's vaccine advisory group, the committee will recommend how a COVID-19 vaccine should be used and who should receive the first doses once one is approved. Dr. Romero said the group anticipates vaccines being available for healthcare workers in December or early January.
3. Adults who test positive for COVID-19 are two times more likely to have exclusively worked in an office or school setting in the two weeks prior to their illness, according to a Nov. 6 CDC report. The finding is based on 314 symptomatic adults who had COVID-19 tests at 11 outpatient sites nationwide July 1-29.
4. Children who contract COVID-19 produce weaker antibodies than adults, according to a small study published Nov. 5 in Nature Immunology. Researchers at New York City-based Columbia University Irving Medical Center found children also had fewer types of antibodies in their systems than adults. Both findings suggest that children are able to clear the virus from their bodies earlier, according to The New York Times.
5. Hospitals in the greater Washington, D.C., area are better equipped for another surge than they were at the start of the pandemic, hospital officials told The Washington Post. Officials said they have more information on how to treat COVID-19 patients, have enough protective equipment and are addressing staff burnout. Despite spiking COVID-19 cases, the area has not hit record hospitalizations. Washington, D.C, Maryland and Virginia hospitals are working with local officials to monitor case rates and map out surge scenarios.
Snapshot of COVID-19 in the U.S.
Cases: 9,619,421 Deaths: 235,030 Recovered: 3,781,751
Counts reflect data available as of 8:45 a.m. CST Nov. 6.
Previously, patients lost their sense of smell. Now, they’re smelling phantom scents. This virus is all over the charts.
Here, we’re having another spike with more active cases than ever and the numbers have been going up for two weeks so not expecting a decrease anytime soon.
TX schools are shutting down left and right due to CV. Here, the number of cases have been on a rapid rise for two weeks. After the vote, there will be more. Then Thanksgiving and after that Christmas. Expect more when a large percent comes back after the New Year from visiting grandma in Mexico and bring back who know what diseases. Then the regular flu season hits.
Stink rose.
More employers are doing mandatory testing on employees. All employees.
That’ll goose the stats, too.
You can count on one thing, if Trump remains in the White House, there will be a massive spike. If Biden, the cases will gloriously disappear, and a victory parade will happen, North Korean style.
We have an outbreak in the plant, and the insurance company is pushing that.
So far, not required. But protocol says if you get a test you are out for 14 days from the test.
For the shutdown, I had many people tell that no matter what, after the election is settled most states will be shutting down till January. On official who is a personal friend told me “Red, you annual hunting trip back home is probably not going to happen!” That is next week.
Some black death reports have suffers reporting a “Sweet” smell right before symptoms.
That’s not the protocol everywhere.
LOL...was thinking the same....Phantom scents.....evil dems.
This BS is designed to lock us down
No it isn’t. But our HQ was trying to preserve as much as it can.
CDC Data Suggest Lockdowns Could Kill As Many People As COVID

Why would they? They want the economy to go up with Biden, and to be able to credit Biden, so they will now work hard not to damage the economy. If Trump was winning, they’d be locking back down to make him look like he was to blame.
Sweden has mandatory masks and “recommended lockdowns”, they are not as wild and free as some seem to think. They do a lot more “recommendations” than “orders”. Stockholm is under some restrictions right now, they are not complete-shut-downs, but 50% capacity rules.
They do not have a mandatory mask mandate as of late Oct. unless that has changed.
They may be seeing more cases but their deaths per day are still single digit.
Given the backlog of data - there’s no evidence the masks are having any effect.
New symptom, new strain?
The chinese are much better at "taking over" unfairly than the most crooked democrat running vote counting in a thug run city...
Shut it down for 24 months. Any bets on who survives.
There are many ramifications to the incoming team.
Fauci: Head of HHS
Birx: Homeland Security
Comey: Attorney General
You can be sure, 100% certain sure, that a European style confinement is coming. Don’t use the word “lockdown”, because what we have done up until now is nothing like what is coming.
Nobody dying in the street. IF Biden ends up cheating his way in then you can bet COVID is going to disappear from the news pronto.
This is proof that masks do not work.
The number of suicides among young people, in my small county of Lycoming in PA., has goneup dramatically.
It is so sad.
And they’re still going by the 14 day quarantine, not the 10 the day the CDC now recommends?
