Недавно заходила соседка; сказала, что у нее несколько месяцев назад умер муж. 73 или 74 года. С этими масками и карантинами мы даже не заметили, что его не стало. Вроде бы видели человека буквально вчера, а оказывается его уже давно нет. Перед смертью, попросил ее поменять забор. Вот она и пришла договариваться.

Поговорили немного через маски и через порог. Я ей показал, как пользоваться гугл видео на телефоне, чтобы она могла более-менее нормально общаться со своим юристом. По WatsApp тоже обменялись контактами. Такие дела.

Открытые школы и университеты легко превращаются в новые очаги распространения вируса.

А у тех, кто легко переносит болезнь, включая молодых, она далеко не всегда проходит бесследно.

Our understanding of the long-term deleterious effects of COVID-19 is emerging on a daily basis, something that Fauci acknowledged as troubling. “We have seen that even individuals who are young and otherwise healthy, and get symptomatic enough to be in bed for a week or 2 but don’t require hospitalization, may have residual symptoms for weeks to months after clearing the virus. We’re seeing a substantially high proportion of cardiovascular abnormalities. Evidence of myocarditis. Evidence of emerging cardiomyopathy. Evidence of inflammatory processes in the brain. And these are people who have recovered from the disease.”

Слава богу, администрации Трампа удалось заткнуть рот доктору Фаучи и прочим экспертам. Особенно постарался Майкл Капуто, бывший путинский пиарщик https://puppet-djt.livejournal.com/155632.html

Emails obtained by POLITICO show Paul Alexander — a senior adviser to Michael Caputo, HHS’s assistant secretary for public affairs — instructing press officers and others at the National Institutes of Health about what Fauci should say during media interviews. The Trump adviser weighed in on Fauci’s planned responses to outlets including Bloomberg News, BuzzFeed, Huffington Post and the science journal Cell.
Alexander’s lengthy messages, some sent as recently as this week, are couched as scientific arguments. But they often contradict mainstream science while promoting political positions taken by the Trump administration on hot-button issues ranging from the use of convalescent plasma to school reopening.
The emails add to evidence that the White House, and Trump appointees within HHS, are pushing health agencies to promote a political message instead of a scientific one.

The CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports are authored by career scientists and serve as the main vehicle for the agency to inform doctors, researchers and the general public about how Covid-19 is spreading and who is at risk. Such reports have historically been published with little fanfare and no political interference, said several longtime health department officials, and have been viewed as a cornerstone of the nation's public health work for decades.
But since Michael Caputo, a former Trump campaign official with no medical or scientific background, was installed in April as the Health and Human Services department's new spokesperson, there have been substantial efforts to align the reports with Trump's statements, including the president's claims that fears about the outbreak are overstated, or stop the reports altogether.

Им также удалось подорвать доверие к экспертам среди республиканцев.

Ничего, со временем будут и лекарство, и вакцина. Надо как-то пережить этот год-полтора.
