Here is the link to the dashboard our district has published which is updated daily. https://datastudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/d9e82fda-88fe-4319-b2c6-51ff7332dba0/page/3QqgB

How are your schools faring right now with reported cases? Here in the suburbs just north of Houston, our district of about 20k kids in total currently has 1.5% of all students (309) and just under 2% (48) of all staff out with COVID. The active cases in our school district have gone up...

Thankfully our country is not called China. China currently has about about 20 million people locked down in their homes for the last 3 weeks. The government brings food to everyone so no one leaves their home. They cannot leave for anything except testing.

Current 7 day average daily deaths is 14. Peak in early Sept was 41. Low point was in June with 3 deaths per day. Recent high per day for the Omicron wave is what it is now at 14 and leveling off. This is not surprising as deaths lag peaks in newly reported cases by 2-3 weeks.

Here in Harris County, TX (Houston metro) the 14 day rolling average for new daily hospital admissions for COVID patients is now negative for general hospital beds and nearly flat for new ICU. My wife works in a major hospital system here and the number of COVID patients in the hospital has...

Looks like the US has peaked overall with new reported cases down by 5% week over week. Hospitalizations up by 1.1%. This is likely weighted more towards the northeast coming down and Florida with other areas of the country still rising for the next week or two...

Thanks for the clarification - appreciated

What exactly are you suggesting post COVID? Masks every flu season?

I don't think there will be an unending supply for free from the manufacturers. I do not plan on stockpiling any masks.

For some light hearted humor... This is available for purchase on Amazon - LOL... Oscar Mayer Face Mask

Three masks per person max is not much of a stockpile as they are disposable and should not be reused. They need a lot more every week if they want people to build a useful stockpile.

Help what? At this point everyone is going to get exposed eventually to Omicron and delivering n95 masks in late January will be past the peak. This should have been planned for a long time ago and not after the barn doors were let open. If these were all made available in November and...

If only they also had the efficiency of Amazon to deliver items sooner

I would suggest you speak to your doctor before getting the booster shot.

It was on The Disney Dish with Len Testa and Jim Hill

Today I heard on a podcast that roughly 20% of WDW staff may be down with COVID due to Omicron. Do we have anyone here that can comment on this?

Seeing how often people demean one another for various reasons (typically for disagreeing with their view) it makes me wonder what exactly is the purpose of this thread anymore?

Yes, I agree vaccines have worked for us, but the tests I think need to be improved in some way. I am very skeptical that my oldest was actually negative (even after 4 at home and two PCR tests) and very surprised my wife and I are negative (even being asymptomatic) when you hear just how many...

Our recent experience with COVID. To give a little context, my wife is a labor and delivery nurse who is fully vaxxed and boosted in September (Pfizer). I am fully vaxxed and boosted in October (Moderna). My 13 yo was fully vaxxed in July (Pfizer). My 11 yo was fully vaxxed in December...

Can we fast forward to Spring?
