    Can tell you there was a meeting between Abbott and school administrators in which a lot of concerns were discussed. But like the Mayor’s letter asking Abbott for some type of enforcement, it too completely fell on deaf ears.

    It will fall on the school district but so will the inevitable $hitstorm that will follow if they tried to mandate PPE. From what I'm hearing, the hybrid model isn't all that feasible at the moment but online only is still on the table. Still some time to figure things about things are going to be a mess without some type of mandate/guidance from Abbott.

    Quick glance shows there should be no concern. Everything is green

    That page is only referring to PPE. They currently have no concerns about their supply of PPE.

    I'm just here to make sure nobody read your comment and thought you were making an accurate statement. Because quick glance, in actuality, shows everything is NOT in green.

    Page 15 relates to the availability of PPE supplies.

    So, if we're going into World War 3, me knowing we have plenty of weapons doesn't really get my pp torqued. But to each their own.

    Well the blood type correlation turned out to be true.
    Based on gene studies on 4000 patients in Italy and Spain found that the gene region in chromosome 9 that has to do with blood types also affects the severity for covid.

    Whoever has blood type A is much more propable to get it more severely and on the other hand blood type O the least chance.

    Dont worry, it is not the most determining factor, seems only in the middle bottom of the pyramid.

    Age,gender, and comorbidities like obesity and heart disease have been found to affect it much more.
    Also 5-6 genes in chromosome 3 are the most important and determining factor from that study but unfortunately unless someone has had ther dna tested they cant know it.
    Also they know that these genes in chromosome 3 vary significantly from population to population.

    If anyone here interested and have their dna tested in ancestry site I can tell you the genes.

    You assume everyone has access to do school virtually. A lot of kids don't, especially in HISD.

    True, but schools can take care of that. And they can train. If they don't have facility costs, which they don't. they can certainly help the handful of kids who don't have access or hardware. The schools need to adapt, but in the end, it's cheaper way of operating.

    10 years study for covid19. Anyone that said they know the long term impact is ... well it has only been a couple of months.

    https://newseu.cgtn.com/news/2020-0...term-impact-on-the-body-RscbmjSNck/index.html


    Stefan Schreiber, director of internal medicine at Germany's University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, believes the novel coronavirus is here to stay – vaccine or not.

    That prospect does not seem to alarm Schreiber. He's the man in charge of a study, the first of its kind, that is looking at the long-term health implications for people who have contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus.

    To Schreiber, it just means we must start preparing now for a new normal that may slowly transform health systems all over the world if, indeed, it does become endemic – circulating long-term among the population – as he suspects it will.

    It is not just the disease that may continue to place a heavier burden on those systems, it is its potential knock-on effects that may linger long after someone has officially recovered. "This appears not just to be a lung-centered disease … but a system-wide infection," says Schreiber. In some patients, for reasons we do not fully understand, COVID-19 affects the heart and blood vessels, the kidneys, and even, disturbingly, the brain.

    ...

    Participants will not just be those who suffered severe symptoms. "Being mild doesn't mean that you couldn't have comorbidities," Schreiber explains. "I personally think that the mild cases with very moderate pulmonary symptoms could have had some severe damage. In fact, I think it rather likely."
