My coworker who continued to test positive for over a month finally came back today after getting a negative. She said her only symptom was a fever for an hour and that if she didnt have work that day she would have never noticed. Crazy, imagine how many people might be walking around like that.

Yep. Though it's a little encouraging seeing the death rate continue to decline in general. It's a Tuesday which usually sees some carryover death reports from the weekend, and the US seems like it's coming in under 1k today.

Holy shit, that is encouraging heh, holy shit. nice unintentional joke in there. i'm impressed they managed to graph that. it's not a surprising conclusion or target to study - we already knew fecal matter transmits it and one infected person with the runs could have their shit infect others after hours pass after they're done. they managed to successfully calculate the levels of sewage each person on average has, basically. it's a literal "how much does your town shit" chart. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. ...

So this is an infographic that gets updated every day for my city, Edmonton in Alberta, Canada
https://i.redd.it/7rxrbzwjk6151.png Population of the greater Edmonton area is 1.3 million and we've only had 524 confirmed cases total, with 13 deaths. In May, we only increased cases by 34 and 1 death, so basically COVID had no impact in May. It's well known in the city that the hospitals are pretty empty, so I don't think this is a case of the city just isn't testing or is manipulating the data in some way. My personal experience throughout this whole thing been that people are very cautious about social distancing (people in stores maintain distance and are nervous getting close to pass eachother, and outside they will cross the street if they see me coming with my dog or whatever), and a lot of people do wear masks and gloves. So it seems to me that the coronavirus did make it to Edmonton but basically has not spread at all in the populace due to the quick measures and people taking it really seriously, so that's really good. I'm a bit worried though. When all the shut downs started, I made some arguments in here where I speculated if it's possible to smooth the curve TOO much too early where it doesn't start spreading enough to move through the population to utilize hospital capacity properly and begin building herd immunity. Then when restrictions lift, COVID will spread just like everywhere else and overwhelm capacity. Funnily enough, it seems like my city is in exactly that situation. We implemented measures so well early on that basically nobody in the city has it. So if we start lifting restrictions and everybody stops taking things seriously because we are already mission accomplished, it could spike more than we can handle. I think the best thing to hope for is that lifting restrictions is done in a gradual way that allows the virus to spread in a reasonable way but not in a giant spike Hard to say though.... today is my first day back in the office and measures are pretty strong here... but I went into my backyard yesterday and my cousin was there after biking with 3 of his kids, a family friend and 2 of her kids, chilling in our patio furniture with my brother and cousin that I live with, and nobody seemed to be concerned about social distancing anymore.... --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG ...

Outdoors certainly hurts its ability to spread, but does not stop it. If you have say, thousands of people packed on a street, it's going to spread no matter what you do(masks still help).

Problem is the general populace isn't going to really sit well with social distancing arguments when protests have shot that out of the stratosphere. I don't know if the populace will ever relatively accept them again.
The biggest thing there that is interesting is schools reopening.
