@DanBBarrie From what I can gather, MD has been building a good contact tracing system and it continues to grow.

As for morbidity in kids, the big baddie seems to be the Kawasaki-like condition, which is very serious but, luckily, fairly rare. Other sig morbidity hasn’t declared itself yet

@DanBBarrie With regard to positive test rates, the WHO suggests 5% or lower for at least 14 days. MoCo has had a 3-day avg of 5% for 14 days, so decent.

People Who Aren’t Wearing Masks Don’t Understand How Coronavirus Spreads.

The new research I wrote about in this article shows why so many people don’t see the point of masks & what can change that.

@abgoldberg Andrew, I have not yet written specifically about this, but I realize that I need to. My suggestion is to look for day camps that are outdoors, adults should be masked, kids ideally masked but that can be a challenge, and either able to provide social distancing or very small # s

Since we’re all teaching our kids from home at the moment, this is a great article you can use to teach your kids about something they’re seeing outside right now—bees. 🐝 Helping kids learn about them can help them be less scared—and less likely to be stung.
