Positive test in April with symptoms. Recovered. Negative in May. Then hospitalized in June. Positive Covid again. 🤔

“People don’t believe me that I got it twice. But I have the one from hospital and the one from April,” she said showing her paperwork. foxla.com/news/southern-…
2) to be clear, i never said it was reinfection per se. it could be a latent infection with long lasting symptoms. You can re test positive again weeks later from virus fragments. We may need to genetically sequence the virus genome twice and verify if same or different.
3) It could be a reactivation of a virus that wasn’t completely suppressed too and then flared up again in June for unknown reasons. Bottom line is that this virus is in very least unpredictable.

KIDS STUDY: The large 65k kids study is being discussed. But few people looked at the table:

Kids, ages 10-19 years old, may be spreading #COVID19 a lot within their household (red)

So, if you have kids that age, your family has higher risk of COVID than young adults (blue).
2) This study was published in a CDC journals. It was possible because of EXTREMELY DETAILED contact tracing in South Korea, which we do not come close to in the US. wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26…
3) That said there are minor limitations discussed by Carl here, but the level of evidence naysayers demand (like proof that the secondhand smoke that sickened someone came from a smoking aerosol from your exact cigarette to my nose level of unreasonable).

KIDS and coronavirus: mega 65000 new 🇰🇷 study:

📌Kids under 10 transmit virus much less often than adults, but not zero risk.

📌Kids ages of 10-19 can spread virus at least as well as adults. 🧵

➡️ This bodes poorly for school reopenings. #COVID19

2) “I fear that there has been this (incorrect) sense that kids just won’t get infected or don’t get infected in the same way as adults. There will be transmission,” Dr. Osterholm said. “What we have to do is accept that now and include that in our plans.”
3) Several studies from Europe and Asia have suggested that young children are less likely to get infected and to spread the virus. But most of those studies were small and flawed, said @ashishkjha, director of @HarvardGH. “It’s one of the best studies we’ve had to date on this.”

⚠️All COVID hospital data on CDC site is now gone!!! It is now managed by a private contractor who got a $10 million no-bid deal awarded in April. Now it’s all directly controlled by HHS political heads. #COVID19

Epidemiologists are pulling our hair out!

2) HHS wrote a meaningless apology memo.
3) And now WH Press Secretary says that science should not stay in the way of school reopenings! Wth
