November has been a month full of devastating Covid-19 records in the US.
Almost every state has reported a rapid surge in cases and nationwide numbers have been climbing much faster than ever before -- with the country reporting a staggering 2.7 million infections since the beginning of the month.
On Friday, more than 195,500 new infections were reported -- the country's highest for a single day, and far beyond what the nation was seeing just weeks ago.
The highest number of single-day cases during the country's summer surge was a little more than 77,100 in July, Johns Hopkins University data show.
The US on Friday also recorded its highest number of Covid-19 patients in hospitals on a given day: 82,178 -- according to the COVID Tracking Project.

A Friday report from the Centers for Disease Control found that counties in Kansas that adopted a mask mandate saw a decrease in cases of the disease, while counties that opted out saw an increase by 100%. While experts have long agreed that masks are a key part of limiting the spread of COVID-19, their usage has been the subject of months-long political debate. According to the CDC, the findings back up similar declines seen in 15 states and in Washington DC, which also mandated masks. A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Friday found that counties in Kansas that adopted a mask mandate saw a decrease in COVID-19 transmission compared to counties that did not, which saw an increase in the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, a Democrat, on July 3 issued a statewide mask mandate, but counties were able to individually opt-out from her order. Around 90 counties opted out of her according to a July 8 report from the Wichita Eagle. --11-24-20 SAD: us.cnn.com/2020/11/24/health/filipino-nurse-deaths/index.html Covid-19 is taking a devastating toll on Filipino American nurses(CNN) Nearly a third of the nurses who've died of coronavirus in the US are Filipino, even though Filipino nurses make up just 4% of the nursing population nationwide. A recent report from the largest nurses' union in the country revealed the disproportionate number of deaths. It's a jarring statistic researchers are working to understand and a tragedy families across the US and around the world are living with every day. Jhulan Banago feels it when he visits his mom's grave site every week and when he keeps putting out a plate of food for her at the dinner table every night. Tiffany Olega felt it when she walked through the gates of Disneyland and collapsed to the ground, crying as she set foot in one of her mom's favorite places for the first time after her death. Jollene Levid feels it every morning, when she combs through health-care workers' obituaries and keeps finding Filipino names. She sees her family in their faces -- so many senseless deaths. "People always talk about it as numbers, but then when so many of the folks you know have died, and it wasn't because they weren't wearing a mask, it wasn't because they decided to eat at a restaurant. They were literally trying to keep someone alive and they caught it," Levid says. --11-24-20: www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/early-coronavirus-mutation-made-pandemic-harder-to-stop-evidence-suggests/ar-BB1biMBs?li=BBnb7Kz Early Coronavirus Mutation Made Pandemic Harder to Stop, Evidence SuggestsAs the coronavirus swept across the world, it picked up random alterations to its genetic sequence. Like meaningless typos in a script, most of those mutations made no difference in how the virus behaved. But one mutation near the beginning of the pandemic did make a difference, multiple new findings suggest, helping the virus spread more easily from person to person and making the pandemic harder to stop. The mutation, known as 614G, was first spotted in eastern China in January and then spread quickly throughout Europe and New York City. Within months, the variant took over much of the world, displacing other variants. --11-24-20: slate.com/technology/2020/11/mexico-city-qr-code-contact-tracing-program-coronavirus.html Contact Tracing and Personal Data Protection Face Off in Mexico City. |

Fox News’ Will Cain said on Monday that it’s because of Americans’ “individual spirit” that they don’t follow “sensible” pandemic regulations, like wearing masks to stop the spread of COVID-19.
“Everyone is trying to be safe,” he said, “but what’s going to happen for policymakers is at some point they’re going to have to realize Americans just are not going to follow guidance no matter how sensible it might be. There’s just an individual spirit.”
“Fox & Friends” co-host Steve Doocy jumped in, pointing out that “this is a crazy time in American history where we don’t quite understand how easy it is to get.”
The fill-in anchor, who was replacing Brian Kilmeade for the day, came up with the “individual spirit” label earlier in the conversation, when he said, “I don’t know what we will call it — individual spirit? — but I’m not going to be putting on a mask around my family.”

The deaths come amid an outbreak of a new strain of avian flu, H5N8, which has already led to the culling of thousands of birds across Europe. The disease is not believed to pose a threat to humans, and there is currently no suggestion it could impact poultry supply chains. |

(CNN) More than 2,800 Covid-19 deaths were reported Wednesday in the United States -- the most the country has ever reported in a single day -- as health care officials say their staff and facilities are struggling to support burgeoning numbers of patients.
The number of Covid-19 patients in US hospitals Wednesday -- 100,226, according to the COVID Tracking Project -- also is the highest reported on a given day during the pandemic.
One-day death totals can draw from delayed reports across several days.
Still, recently soaring daily rates of infections and hospitalizations has various experts predicting the daily death count could regularly surpass 2,000 or 3,000, and perhaps approach 4,000.

(CNN)To gather or not to gather has been the question at the forefront of the minds of today's religious leaders and their church members.
During the 1918 influenza pandemic that ultimately killed 50 million to 100 million people, different answers to that same question resulted in either collective well-being or widespread, devastating loss.
During the 1918 influenza pandemic, religious institutions worldwide closed their doors to save lives.
The US Supreme Court recently decided 5-4 to grant religious organizations in New York state relief from restrictions on the number of people attending religious services.
In light of this development, looking back a century can offer guidance for religious institutions deciding to stay shuttered or reopen.
Self-inflicted decimation
In 1918, many churches around the world closed their doors to save lives. Without financial support, some churches eventually closed permanently, while others survived with dropped-off donations and serving as hospitals instead of sanctuaries. For some families, the home became the altar.

Professor Jonathan Van Tam warned on Wednesday evening that the approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech jab in the UK did not herald the end of the virus, telling a Downing Street press conference:
"I don't think we're going to eradicate coronavirus ever. I think it's going to be with humankind forever."
Prof Van Tam hinted at the prospect of annual winter inoculations against Covid becoming the norm in years ahead. Comparing it to flu, he said:
"I think we may get to a point where coronavirus becomes a seasonal problem."
He suggested face coverings would remain a staple of daily life, saying:
"Do I think there will come a big moment where we have a massive party and throw off masks and hand sanitiser and say that's it, it's behind us, like the end of the war? No I don't."

(CNN) Covid-19 vaccines are fast approaching, but a second pandemic might impede efforts to recover from the first, according to the president of a global humanitarian aid group.
Francesco Rocca, president of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said in a virtual briefing to the UN Correspondents Association on Monday that governments and institutions needed to implement measures to combat growing mistrust and misinformation.
"To beat Covid-19, we also need to defeat the parallel pandemic of mistrust that has consistently hindered our collective response to this disease, and that could undermine our shared ability to vaccinate against it," he said.
The leader of the world's largest humanitarian aid network said his organization shares "the sense of relief and optimism" that developments in Covid-19 vaccines bring. But governments and institutions "have to build trust in the communities" where misinformation has taken root, he added.
There is growing hesitancy about vaccines around the world, particularly the Covid-19 vaccine, said Rocca.
He cited a study by Johns Hopkins University in 67 countries, which found that vaccine acceptance had declined significantly between July and October of this year.--12-02-20 NOT JUST STUPID—BUT DANGEROUS: www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/nashville-nurse-two-roommates-charged-after-hosting-over-100-people-at-house-party-police-say/ar-BB1byW6Z Nashville nurse, two roommates charged after hosting over 100 people at house party, police say.--12-02-20: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/swedens-anti-lockdown-experiment-flopped-now-it-faces-a-wave-of-pandemic-pain/2020/12/01/9e90ee28-3344-11eb-8d38-6aea1adb3839_story.html?utm_campaign=wp_todays_worldview&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_todayworld&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F2d37a52%2F5fc71e589d2fda0efb7b7a80%2F596b994aade4e24119b67bb3%2F57%2F79%2Fda460dce6ed3dc8c045fd9bd6c848ae8 Sweden’s anti-lock down experiment flopped.

Nightmares and tears: Covid-19 takes a heavy toll on health care workers in Colorado.
********************
The governor here is pushing for more and more shut-down activities. This time even Pueblo, heretofore somewhat unaffected by the virus is also seeing an elevated infection rate. I have been isolating more of late and being extra-cautious in hopes this wave will slow down soon.
My nephew is a male nurse in Georgia and has told his dad about the horrible deaths he has seen and what a low percentage of survival he sees once people get in bad enough condition to be hospitalized.
We hear about the 99% survival rate, and that is encouraging. It is however quite horrible for the unfortunate 1%. Poor nephew. He spends most of his waking hours with the terminally ill. He sends a warning: You don’t want anything to do with this illness...

I recently spoke with my medical friends around America and came to the quick conclusion that it is worst than we think it is: WE still have millions who refuse to Wear Masks, SD, Avoid Large Crowds, etc. Plus, we basically very little Contact Tracing (which is critical to stopping the surge of infections/deaths—see China Article Below) and we have State/Local Officials still refusing to put in place the necessary Restrictions. And our LABS cannot keep up with the Demand for test results (see article below). In addition, WE have millions who DO NOT believe the Virus is real – instead a hoax, a conspiracy, etc. etc. etc. (Will baffle me FOREVER).
THE BAD NEWS FOR US ON THIS BOARD:
Based on the Numbers/Odds (Math) = sadly, I must state that at least one of us (Posters on this Board) = Will become infected with the Virus = WHY WE MUST ALL BE SO CAREFUL.
For it is ONLY going to get worse in the next 60-90 Days—MUCH WORSE—So please be SMART & CAREFUL.--12-05-20 WE COULD HAVE DONE THE SAME: us.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-strict-lockdowns-experimental-205803346.html ... China has used strict measures to succeed in controlling COVID-19
It's true that China appears to have succeeded in its efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 within its borders, per statistics from the World Health Organization.
Though it has a population of 1.4 billion, China has reported fewer than 100,000 coronavirus cases and fewer than 5,000 deaths. In contrast, the United States — which has a population of 330 million — has had over 13.5 million cases and 271,000 deaths.
While China quickly distributed an experimental vaccine, much of the success China has had is attributable to the speed and strictness of its response, according to an analysis in The Lancet.
Gregory Poland, the director of the Vaccine Research Group at the Mayo Clinic, noted that "the speed of China's response was the crucial factor."
On Jan. 23, the city of Wuhan was placed under a strict lockdown, which lasted 76 days. Similar measures were implemented in every city in the surrounding Hubei Province.
Dozens of other cities also enacted "family outdoor restrictions" that permitted a single member of each household to leave every few days to collect supplies.
China also quickly set up an effective national system of coronavirus testing and contact tracing. In just a few weeks, it tested 9 million people in Wuhan for COVID-19.
Around the country, population movement was both tracked and curtailed — enabled by 14,000 health checkpoints at transportation hubs and other surveillance tools.
China also benefited from high compliance with public health measures, like wearing face masks and social distancing. --12-05-20: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/covid-19-testing-capacity-strained-surge-demand-n1249592 Covid-19 testing capacity strained by surge in demand.
“It's unimaginably gigantic, the amount that we're doing, but it's still insufficient compared to the demand," one lab director said.--12-05-20: www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/coronavirus-updates-fauci-expects-drastic-restrictions-in-some-areas-model-projects-more-than-500000-us-deaths-by-april/ar-BB1bEMQb?li=BBnb7Kz Coronavirus updates: Fauci expects 'drastic' restrictions in some areas; model projects more than 500,000 US deaths by April.***--12-04-20: us.cnn.com/2020/12/04/health/us-coronavirus-friday/index.html There's a light at the end of the tunnel, but coming months will be Covid-19 'worst-case scenario,' expert says.--12-04-20: www.huffpost.com/entry/one-third-of-kids-with-covid-19-are-asymptomatic-new-study-says_l_5fc9105ec5b6e3f2beba7406?ncid=newsltushpmgnews One-Third Of Kids With COVID-19 Are Asymptomatic, Study Says
For months, it's been unclear how many children with coronavirus have no symptoms. New research suggests a whole lot of them.
Up to one-third of children with COVID-19 may be asymptomatic, a new study suggests.
One of the few bright spots of the coronavirus pandemic has been among children. Although severe illness and death have occurred, most children are spared the most serious outcomes. And some have no symptoms at all.
The latter group has been of particular interest to researchers and policymakers, who have long sought to quantify how many children are asymptomatic, or “silent carriers” of COVID-19.--12-04-20: us.yahoo.com/news/asia-beaten-back-wave-covid-063114463.html Asia Has Beaten Back Each Wave of COVID-19.
