I saw the headline and thought "wtf, I thought they were spiking cases?".. then I read it and realized they were talking economics, not health. Maine went full trump on re-opening. Vacation land became pandemic land. The only reason they aren't getting more attention is nobody actually lives there (apologies to actual ME residents, you know what I mean); mostly the summer crowds live elsewhere.

I don't know wtf they are referring to in the line "They point to the state's low infection rate, as well as the fact that Maine didn't rush to re-open, as factors.". Maine only has a low infection rate in raw numerical numbers. The rate per resident is high. In fact, ME is on MA's list of states you have to quarantine if you traveled from there. They also rushed to reopen businesses. Crazy talk.......

Study: Maine recovering from pandemic better than any other state

"Moody's Investment Service, a bond rating company, and CNN Business have teamed up to track the economic recovery of each state.

They say right now, Maine's economy is operating at 93 percent of where it was in early March, making it number one in the so-called "Back-to-Normal Index."

401 new cases in Ontario today :finger: People suck! I can't believe how far we've swung the wrong way.

The premier said he won't send the entire province into lockdown again. It will selectively be areas like Toronto that are hotspots.
And the traditional flu season, which will also be the new covid season, is just getting started. People will move indoors and pack in more closely. Infection rates will rise. A second wave will occur. But you are making all the right moves, which we to the south can't say........

So I am completely over this round of Covid! Took about a week this time, but the true test came yesterday when I took a long bike ride across the city. During the first bout of Covid, my symptoms would abate, but they were reactivated each time I exercised. That process lasted about 2 months and was quite depressing. But I feel fine today after the workout, so I'm officially calling this a win. I'm being really careful from now on, I don't want a third bout, and I want to avoid the seasonal flu (which I never contract), as well. Stay safe, people. It's a jungle out there. Sometimes I wonder how I keep from going under...

That is probably why the health professionals are planning on two immunization shots. Glad to hear you are OK.

Good. People forget or are unaware of the impact and genius of Grandmaster Flash. Wrote uplifting, wholesome lyrics when others went the opposite direction.

Coronavirus: Idaho pastor who called himself 'no-masker' in intensive care with Covid-19
However, after his diagnosis in early September, his wife posted on Facebook: “I'm humbled,” and added: “I have Covid and some of my friends have Covid now but more seriously my husband is in critical care in ICU with Covid and it is serious. Please take this serious.”

Coronavirus immunity may last just six months and could reinfect people every year
People who have recovered from coronavirus may lose their immunity to the disease within six months, according to new research.
It could reinfect people year after year - just like the common cold, warn scientists.

Covid-19 attaches to the angiotensin converting receptor to enter lung cells


If you are on an ACE inhibitor medication it may assist the virus

Now might be a great time to discuss changing to an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker such as Losartan with your physician.

Sorry to hear this Tyler. How do you think you got it the second time ?
I am glad to hear your feeling better and I hope you don’t get it again.

Hello, Good Doctor. I got it the second time from a large backyard gathering, a great gig on the south side. Few people wore masks, but I didn't care because I mistakenly assumed I was immune, as I just had it three months earlier. I posted about it in this thread - the only bright side was that the second time only took a week to get over, where the first bout took about 10 weeks. The symptoms were less severe, too, save for the awful body aches. I promised to be super careful from now on, I want to deal with it as few times as possible. At this point it looks like we will all have to deal with it eventually, I don't think it is going anywhere...
