@jsr78

Thank you SO much for sharing these wonderful videos with all their information/explanations. So valuable in this testing methods and means debate. Loved the part that school children could basically self test every day to determine if they needed to stay home for other's sakes as well as their own.

After nearly six months of Covid, people might want to revisit how to wash their hands.  I know that I've gotten lax. 

Attached is a resource website that a nurse sent me that shows nursing assistants how to wash their hands:

@tgraf66 Nice post! I've also read that the plague may have caused the shift from feudal society to a more humanitarian enlightened society. This article compares the inequalities of the 13th century Middle Ages to today's world and discusses the possible shifts in inequality that Covid-19 could create for the better.

This topic has come up for discussion before on this thread. Yes, pandemics in general tend to cause phase shifts in human society, and the Black Death did help end feudalism. COVID could end market capitalism as we know it. See this essay:

The Black Death Killed Feudalism. What does COVID-19 Mean for Capitalism?

I am at a loss a for words as I just found out ASU refuses to release data on how many students and staff have Covid-19 to the general public.  This means students, staff, parents and journalists are being kept in the dark.    They also will not release data on where any infections might have come from.  So, if a dorm has an outbreak, nobody will know.  If a school library is associated with one everyone is in the dark.  Party off campus associated with one?  No info.   They claim it is a privacy issue however other universities in Arizona and across the nation are releasing those numbers.  

Privacy?  How is THAT a privacy issue.  Nobody is asking WHO ?  We would like to know how many and where?

@lovendures I so agree with you. It is a public health issue, not a privacy issue.

@lovendures, that's absurd!  Is there any recourse, perhaps legally?

A Judge in Florida said it’s unconstitutional to order the schools to open during a pandemic. This is a result from lawsuit brought on by the teachers union and Orlando.

Judge said it disregard safety. Denies school boards to make decisions and also only giving funding on approved plans for reopening
