This despite figures showing that children are effective vectors for the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus that causes #COVID-19. I read that 85% of #2019-nCoV infections were passed from someone younger than twenty.

The "coronavirus is fake" people have a new talking point:
> Death rates haven't risen.
The problem with that is that it will be late next year before the 2020 numbers are finished. So what they're going by are estimates, often not even official ones, that will change as data comes in from all over the nation.
No, the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus is real, and the disease it causes ( #COVID-19 or #2019-nCoV ) is real. There are some current restrictions that have not been shown to work, but some things do work:
* physical distancing -- 2 meters or 6 feet appears to be far enough apart that most larger virus-laden droplets fall to the ground
* face masks -- They reduce the amount of virus an infected person releases, but they also reduce the amount that one ingests. It does not have to be perfect. (Which was an issue early on, because official advice was to not wear masks. But by March, evidence was already coming in that masks help slow the spread.)
* hand-washing -- For years, we've heard that a common vector for colds and influenza is hands touching surfaces with viruses on them, then touching one's eyes or nose.
There are some others, but these three are well documented by now.In conversation from web permalink -

I've seen some mention that there's a new #SARS-CoV-2 mutation in the UK that seems to be spreading rapidly. According to "BGR":{https://bgr.com/2020/12/15/coronavirus-mutation-uk-strain/}, there's no indication the strain causes deadlier #COVID-19 than other strains, or that the new vaccines won't work against it.

JHU's Center for Health Security issued a statement about #Event201 and #2019-nCoV: https://nu.federati.net/url/278844
Basically, "Event201":{https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/} was a tabletop exercise about what would need to happen to respond to a severe #coronavirus pandemic held only months before the #COVID-19 outbreak become known. The exercise was based on something far deadlier than #SARS-CoV-2, and they want to make it clear, they did not predict this outbreak nor claim that it would kill 65 million people.In conversation from web permalink Attachments
