Scientists warn of 'superspreaders' as San Diego flocks to restaurants, salons

Update...
Day 2 of impending Covid Wave Countdown.

Lots of protestors without social distancing in San Diego on Sunday.
No news on a Covid spike, hospitalizations or death.

No Covid symptoms today for anyone in my family yet.


Note... My 80 year old father in law had lunch with us at the burger place over the weekend
I did not know what he was thinking so I waited to talk to my wife about it.
Given the stats... I do believe he is high risk for serious illness and death.

He lost his wife about 3 or 4 weeks ago to a different illness,
He sees this as a no lose.
He enjoys what is left of his life
or he is with his wife.

you see there are no deaths for those under 19 years of age and only 1 death under 30.
So as I stated... from the evidence this shutdown has screwed with the lives of our school kids and significant way when this virus never presented evidence that it was more than a flu to them. Arrangements could have been made to protect teachers and still allow our children to participate in school and sports and all the activities kids participate in.

2. And if you recall our county supervisor said there were only 6 pure Covid deaths

3. San Diego never had more than 479 Covid patients using beds. At all times our hospitals had thousands of unused beds. (and during this time hospital staff has been laid off and hours reduced by 50 percent for many)


There was never a shutdown like this in all of our history...
And if you look at the numbers.... in San Diego it was never warranted.
There was no science or data supporting this action in San Diego.

But... to our local leaders credit... some did put pressure on newsome to re-open ahead of Newsome schedule once the data started becoming public.

Disclosure..

My wife and 4 kids walked the Beach in Del Mar Yesterday.
Thousands and Thousands were out and 90 percent had no masks.
I am sure many of us were saying to ourselves...
If the experts are correct... we are going to have a massive Corona virus outbreak.
And then the question remains will there be a corresponding spike in hospitalizations and Deaths.

I would expect...
By the way the beach in del mar yesterday was low 70s and had to be one of the best spots on the planet. Many of us were obviously very happy to out without masks. Considering the risk worth it.

Afterward my wife insisted we support our favorite burger place.
We sat down in the outdoor area of a restaurant.
It was sort of an partially enclosed outdoor area.
I figured we were very exposed to to virus transmission.
None of the patrons were wearing masks and there were many servers walking
around and bringing us things.

==
The expert warned people about going to the beach...
was the expert quoted in the above article.

Kimberly Prather is one of those go to experts for the fear and shutdown media.
We will see if her fears are correct.

In my mind when the low risk group catches the the virus(from a societal viewpoint)
its a good thing as we may get closer to herd immunity. )

But, if the low risk group gets seriously ill and dies... starting soon...
Then the fear and doomer's like Ms. Prather may have had a point. .

Something fun to do, great to hear from a fellow musician.... good time to practice...
 
Percent positive tests the last 3 days 3.10, 2.99 and today 2.91.

Will it start turning up. It should. So many of us were out without masks.

Is this virus really about super spreaders and clusters or will all the activity since Memorial day result in more infections very soon?


https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/tracking-coronavirus-cases-san-diego-county


the site gives a the 14 day rolling average or percent positive tests.
This will be an excellent tool to see if there is a spike up in the next few weeks.
I hope it stays accurate.
 
san diego update
not much changed with the stats

many more tests... 1/100 tick higher in the average percent positive number.

-
