- Someone I knew had two uncles die of covid in the beginning of lockdown, similar scenarios, they died alone and the funerals were only attended by two people.PhanLo
- One of the kids my son goes to school with, their dad was dying of it in a care home, his wife was able to visit in PPE to say goodbye. That was 3 months in.PhanLo
- Now it's possible for larger gatherings at funerals and people can visit hospitals and some care homes.PhanLo
- Actually locking down in the first place might have helped these places, but it's not even worth mentioning any more because no-one seems to care.PhanLo

Pinterest pays $89.5 million to cancel lease for new San Francisco offices.
Pinterest canceled its lease for the San Francisco high-rise project 88 Bluxome, seen here in an artist's rendering. Citing coronavirus-inspired workforce changes, Pinterest will pay $89.5 million to cancel a lease on new San Francisco offices.
“As we analyze how our workplace will change in a post-COVID world, we are specifically rethinking where future employees could be based,” said Todd Morgenfeld, head of business operations, in a company press release.

Just read an interesting bit of research coming out from my work that shows that while most kids (2 - 15 y/o) with Covid were totally asymptomatic - gastrointestinal problems (diarrhoea and vomiting) are by far most common symptom, with very few developing a cough, or loss of smell/ taste.
- and they infectious af.sted
- haha, at least they're short. forgot to mention the study also shows they're as likely to develop antibodies as adults. even if asymptomatic.kingsteven
- read it on an internal site but should be available as a preprint today... to inevitably influence some unworkable and ineffective govt. health policy next weekkingsteven
- so what's the plan, get kids infected in schools and use them to grow and harvest antibodies?sted
- Yes, sted! Let's bleed the young!
Even more so than we already are.

News here in Denmark report the first case of a person who was tested positive with covid-19 twice, with a three months gap between each positive test.
They say it could wither be because it was a different strain of the virus, or because a dead part of the original virus was in her body.

"Health experts are highly concerned that the herd immunity idea is being discussed inside the White House....it may require 2.13 million deaths to reach a 65 percent threshold"

- it's lazy and dodges accountability. What a stable genius move.aliastime
- Yeah in the context of this government it's basically just saying, we give up.yuekit
- sooo, it's basically the same as the current strategy but with more shielding for the elderly? btw the calculation used to reach 2.13m is pretty idiotic...kingsteven
- "In the United States, with a population of 328 million, reaching a 65 percent threshold for herd immunity may require 2.13 million deaths, assuming the viruskingsteven
- this is a short cut to thinking mentality, jfcwhatthefunk
- has a 1 percent fatality rate, according to an analysis by The Post."kingsteven
- 65 percent is a very high assumption for a threshold (it could be < 20%) and 1% fatality rate is based on deaths per confirmed case.kingsteven
- given that its been shown that the majority fight it off without antibodies AND develop some immunity, serology results are not representative of immunitykingsteven
- not that herd immunity should ever be policy. but we could be closer to the end of this than we think.kingsteven
- if you look at any graphs of areas experiencing a 'second wave' of cases at the end of lockdown the deaths in following weeks are far lower than would bekingsteven
- expected using the initial model, this demonstrates to me that the traditional methods for calculating herd immunity are not fit for purpose.kingsteven

Funnily enough I had this exact thought twice this morning, as I walked to work, seeing two people sat by the pavement shouting into a mobile phone. Just no need - ssshh!
