Excellent thread discussing unsettling new findings on #covid transmission in young children (6-10) from #camp#outbreak in #Georgia following opening of overnight camps in June. Warnings⚠️ and lessons for what may come with school openings in September.

I'm not sure if anyone's in the mood for this, given the state of N America right now, but I keep getting asked whether another wave of COVID-19 is "possible".
I think that it is all but a certainty. Why are multiple waves a signature feature of pandemics?

Public health experts are worried that the mass protests in the U.S. could lead to a surge of new coronavirus cases. Police using tear gas and pepper spray causes people to tear up and cough, which could increase the risk of transmission.

THREAD: Over the last 3 days, I have cried myself to a fitful sleep. I’m a reporter which means I can’t say everything I want but I will say this: Imagine being in elementary school & your teachers telling your mom how scared they were of you when you walked in class. As a child.
Breaking News: If the U.S. had begun imposing social distancing measures one week earlier than it did in March, about 36,000 fewer people would have died in the coronavirus outbreak, according to new estimates from Columbia University researchers https://t.co/phnyEgZice
