Comment: I believe another shut down will lead to a major revolt
Georgia’s largest school system:
COVID cases, exposure have 260 Gwinnett school employees not working
Comment: my county went back to school today, despite having a pretty big upswing in cases and hospitalizations the past few weeks. My son (who graduated in March) and I have a bet on how quick they will shutdown/go online.

High odds severe Covid-19 can lead to kidney injury or failure, medical studies reveal
Severe coronavirus patients are often as much in need of dialysis machines as they are ventilators. Many of the ones who recover from Covid-19 have some form of residual kidney damage that can last for months, years or even permanently.
A study from Mount Sinai Hospital System in New York is a microcosm of the trend. Forty-six percent of patients that were admitted to the hospital with Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic had some form of acute kidney injury; of those, 17% required urgent dialysis.
*****Surprisingly, 82% of patients that got an acute kidney injury had no history of kidney issues; 18% did. More than a third of patients that survived did not recover the same kidney function they had before contracting the virus.*****
I bounced back quickly and then started feeling like crap again. Going for a test in about an hour.

SEC tells football players positive coronavirus tests on all teams are ‘a given’
“There are going to be outbreaks,” an SEC official told players during the call. “We’re going to have positive cases on every single team in the SEC. That’s a given. And we can’t prevent it.”
At one point, a player asked, “For so much unknown in the air right now, is it worth having a football season without certainty?”
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey responded: “Part of our work is to bring as much certainty in the midst of this really strange time as we can so you can play football in the most healthy way possible, with the understanding there aren’t any guarantees in life.”
If I were a very athletically talented kiddo on an SEC team who had a high probability of being drafted...I’d sit this season out altogether.
Why take that chance?
Most people wouldn’t miss 5% decrease in lung function. For an athlete, that’s the difference between big paycheck, and jr high coach.
I’d like to know how widespread it is in ‘mild’ cases that are never hospitalized.
30something we know was never hospitalized but has permanent kidney damage.
She only got it looked at because she thought she had a really bad UTI because of the intense back pains she had from CV. She went back to see if she could get antibiotics for it.
Mid back pain seems to be a widespread complaint...I have to wonder if that’s kidney issues on the hoof.
Wonder how many people might get a surprise at their next yearly checkup when they pee in the cup for the urinalysis part of that...
Hubby’s coworker that got out of the ICU last week still can’t walk from the bed to the bathroom. HR thinks he’ll be back to work next week. HR is smoking some good dope.
Up to 5 total positives in that little outbreak cluster at hubby’s office now. When school starts back, he’s going to wait a week or so then take a cpl weeks off. Should be a total clusterf by then.
Out of the 5 cases in the office, 1 was in ICU for a week and a half. Released directly to home (which I’ve been told almost never happens without spending a cpl days in a regular hospital bed). One more was in plain old hospital for a week. 2 had a bad go of it but never hospitalized and 1 had a mild case. These are 40yr+ men. Their wives had varying cases of virus but none of them hospitalized so far. The mild case is the one who does the carnivore diet.
Hoping it’s just a summer bug for you and not CV.
