Hopefully get us back on track, from NPR, "were the risks of reopening schools exaggerated"

Are The Risks Of Reopening Schools Exaggerated?

New research has found few links between in-person K-12 schooling and COVID-19 case rates. "There is not a consistent pattern," one study author said.

Mouthwash May Inactivate Human Coronaviruses, Help Reduce Spread of COVID-19

Certain oral antiseptics and mouthwashes may have the ability to inactivate human coronaviruses, according to a Penn State College of Medicine research study. The results indicate that some of these products might be useful for reducing the viral load, or amount of virus, in the mouth after infectio

Point of parliamentary procedure: thought the idea here was for studies and articles from reputable companies not Twitter.

Sounds good. That eliminates about 95% of the undocumented personal opinions of Pride, FlyCy, Argent, etc. Let's stick to that idea Bob. I notice you didn't call them out. Very telling.

I have deleted my post. Now let's see you stick to your stated standard here.

Agree to disagree. I'll go with my facts; you go with yours.

Here you go. We can see what the CDC define as a death. They use the U07.1 code on a certificate for the 207,882 count.

Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

National Center for Health Statistics

www.cdc.gov

When COVID-19 is reported as a cause of death – or when it is listed as a “probable” or “presumed” cause — the death is coded as U07.1. This can include cases with or without laboratory confirmation.

CDC: From January to October, US had 299K more deaths than in previous years

A new report from the CDC finds the U.S. has reported nearly 300,000 more deaths in 2020 than the typical number during the same period in previous years.

Sorry. I may be a bit behind on this. Are ALL deaths reported to the CDC every year regardless of cause?

It's not directly reported to the CDC. The CDC is making use of data provided by the NVSS (National Vital Statistics System).

COVID-19 Lung Damage

COVID-19 can cause lung damage and breathing problems that can persist even after recovery. An expert in lung disease explains.

www.hopkinsmedicine.org

COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, can cause lung complications such as pneumonia and, in the most severe cases, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS. Sepsis, another possible complication of COVID-19, can also cause lasting harm to the lungs and other organs.

Of course, but there are lots of things that can cause pneumonia. And this brings me to the previous statement, that data is now mostly useless.

Isn't this how flu deaths are counted every year?

That’s why it’s important to get tested ASAP if you’re not feeling well. If you catch it early the chances of having major complications are much smaller.

No. With the flu, a few days after initial infection tests will show negative. Unless the person comes in right after initial infection, chances are if they die of complications a few weeks later, the flu will not be blamed. That is why the CDC admits the number of flu deaths are under reported every year.

CDC expands definition of who is a ‘close contact’ of an individual with covid-19

The new guidance is likely to have the biggest impact on schools, workplaces and other group settings since more people are likely to be considered at risk.

Looks like we were right it wasn’t 28 deaths in the last 24 hours, it was 5. The media wants you scared. Source: coronavirus.iowa.gov

Since alcohol is a main ingredient in mouth wash, does this mean getting trashed on a daily basis is a good thing?

A glass of whiskey a day, will keep the Covid doctor away!!!!

I'd love to but I can't quite follow the area that was made for a quarantine.

1. I wasn't addressing you.
2. How so?

I may have missed some, as I was on my phone. However, I just deleted probably two dozen political posts. Please stop.

Last warning - you make a political comment in this thread and you will be banned until 11/4. Stop with the BS or you’ll get a vacation until after the election.
