Reopening stores, but keeping schools shuttered for another month :(
How does that even make any sense

Similar to the original restrictions where work was open but schools were shut. Though it seems they will open K-3 sooner then a month.

Interesting news, though it’s still too early to be conclusive, also read elsewhere that Gilead manufactured 500k supply (idk if that’s doses or treatments), and isn’t necessarily indicative either.

Seems from antibody testing that there are so many more cases then are being reported.

Dr. Birx said testing can be done from the front of the nose, no need to pick for brain matter.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

That's assuming I don't get tested again in the future, though I'd like to get an antibody test first.

Hopefully you have no reason to get tested again.

Mt Sinai stopped doing another test before allowing plasma donations. Anyone who they did give it to will need to get a negative test before donating. (They're also using them as test rats to find out how long the virus is in the back of the nose)
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Whats the theory don’t you need to be clear before donating?

Guidance from the CDC changed.

Like my grandfather A'H used to say. The food was terrible and the portions were too small
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

If someone tests positive for antibodies will they count them in the total infection counts? What about in the new infection counts?
