Thanks. I really appreciate it. According to the RN that called, there's no such thing as a false positive in the test we took (false negatives are possible).

Sure, they just increased the range each color represents by 50%.
I can't shake Covid-19: Warnings from young survivors still suffering | CNN
Whether they contracted the virus in the snow-capped peaks of the Alps or in the heart of the outbreak in New York's borough of Queens, these young survivors are warning their generation of the long-term risk of drinking in a crowded bar.

What was being said around here is that kids don't spread it much. They very much get COVID, but the authorities were suggesting that they got it from the adults around them and not so much from other young kids. I would suspect that babies are very much getting infected via adults.
I agree with you though - if they get mild almost asymptomatic forms, it's quite possible they are just not getting tested.
If this spreads from schools, we'll see a massive rise when and where they start to reopen for live learning. I'm mostly afraid for high schools and higher levels since the data for older kids definitely suggests otherwise.
Sorry Anti-Maskers, Delta Air Lines Is Onto You
Delta has updated its face mask policy, making it significantly harder for people to fake a medical condition to avoid wearing a mask.

What happens when flu meets Covid-19?
How seasonal viruses interact with the coronavirus is unknown – it may lessen or sharpen the pandemic – so flu vaccinations are vital

An interesting article about the question which influence the flu season could have on Covid-19.

A friend of mine who found out she had Covid in late March (after three false negative tests and many trips to the ER) is struggling to get back to normal and still has flare-ups or relapses. Turns ot she's among the long-haulers. She's 50 and was ostensibly in great shape (healthy eater, distance runner) when she first contracted it. The answers in this Q&A really demonstrate how little even the brightest minds know about this virus and its effects.

Long COVID
Months after COVID, you’re still exhausted. Or you can’t think straight. You’re anxious. You’re over it. Here’s what we know about long COVID so far.

This article talks about the same topic. About 80 % hospitalized still had symptoms 2 months later. I've also read an article recently saying that even those that test negative after having been infected still can have symptoms for several months. Indeed we still know so little about this virus. I still remember how the general doctor my boyfriend goes to already said in early March that she will do everything to avoid catching it. She already was wearing a face mask in public when most people in Germany didn't consider doing it yet.
I think it's so strange that still so many people in the US seem to be reluctant to wear face masks. I think wearing them is one of the best things we can do. I follow the news and am really worried about the strongly increasing numbers in many countries and especially in the US. My heart goes out to all of you in the US and other countries strongly affected like Brazil, Mexico etc. Lots of positivity sent out to all of you!
80% Of People Hospitalized With Coronavirus Still Had Symptoms Two Months Later, Says New Study
Growing evidence suggests that the coronavirus can cause long-term symptoms in some people.

Because if you don't test as much the numbers look better and COVID-19 will magically go away as Trump has been promising.

Bad news of tge week: antibody levels seem to decline a few months after a covid-19 disease. That might not automatically mean that immunity is gone, because there are other factors involved in immunity as well. But it might render widespread antibody testung pretty useless.

This also is an interesting article that focuses more on the T-Cells vs the antibodies. I guess we still need to learn so much about this virus and how it behaves.

It is really strange and is for the most part divided right down party lines. People wearing masks get called libtards or demon-crats for wearing them. It seriously just happened to a friend of mine on Friday.
And thanks for the positive vibes...we need them around here.
