All good, precautionary stuff. Except! I have just been informed at least one person was C-19 positive which that person learned Tuesday when test results came back, and now one other person is said to have contracted the virus, perhaps that night. We were told to go get tested ASAP. It's been 7 days and I feel great! Even for a dreary Monday....
The average and most common incubation period is 5 days, although the range has varied from 2-14 days. Chances are pretty good I did not contract the virus last Monday given it's been 7 days.
Also, obviously the taking of temps, which is commonly done in places, does not prevent a carrier from getting past checkpoints. I am a board member at the hospital and 3 times in the past 6 weeks I have had my temp checked at the door and allowed to proceed. I have to walk past several departments which have open-air waiting rooms along my route, and others' too. Yes, we are required to wear a mask. But, apparently the ole temp check is not a very good measure of potential risk.
Good thing everybody had a mask on. :laugh:

If cases continue to increase at this same pace, Adler said they will soon have to "choose between returning to sheltering at home or watching as our hospitals get overwhelmed and we suffer many preventable deaths."
This is the Louisiana Edition, nothing in Texas concerns us. Just kidding.Quote:

Has anybody been keeping up with when back dated numbers have been reported? We've had a few days with very high numbers but was wondering if some of that was back logged data.Quote:

Stupid that mask wearing and distancing have become proxies for political ideology.Quote:
