Coronavirus cases take big jump in Texas day care centers

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2020/06/30/coronavirus-cases-in-texas-daycare-centers-continue-to-rise-after-recent-spike/

Texas’ day care centers have reported a total of 950 coronavirus cases, marking an increase of 540 cases in less than two weeks.

The latest count includes 643 staff members and 307 children at 668 licensed child care centers, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission reported Tuesday.

I don't see how elementary, middle school, high school or college is going to be 100 x better than 540 cases in 2 weeks.

Cornyn on COVID-19: 'We Still Don't Know Whether Children Can Get It and Transmit It'

When asked about the safety of Texas students and teachers returning to classrooms, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) appeared to question whether children can catch and transmit the new coronavirus, but data provided by doctors and government websites contradict his statement.

"We still don’t know whether children can get it and transmit it to others," Cornyn said in an interview Thursday with NBC 5.

According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, more than 1,700 COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in people ages 0-19 statewide. More than 500 of those patients are under the age of 10. The state has published age information on just over 10% of total cases.

NBC 5 sent those statistics to the senator’s staff and asked for clarification on his comments, but they did not respond to our question.

Hey so some kids might die but the GOP kept power.

3. Wow, it's hard to be much more out-of-touch than Cornyn seems to be, or is pretending

to be, on COVID-19.

5. 5-year-old daughter of Detroit first responders dies from coronavirus complications

https://abcnews.go.com/US/year-daughter-detroit-responders-dies-coronavirus-complications/story?id=70256558

A 5-year-old Detroit girl who complained to her parents about a bad headache and was then admitted to the hospital died less than a month later from coronavirus complications.

Skylar Herbert had big dreams of becoming a pediatric dentist one day, and she loved stuffed animals and playing dress-up in her princess dresses.

She was the daughter of two veteran first responders: her mom LaVondria, who has been a police officer for 25 years, and her dad Ebbie, who has been a firefighter for 18.

Skylar died Sunday at Beaumont Hospital, in the company of her family and the team of doctors who had been treating her. She is Michigan's youngest victim to succumb to the coronavirus, according to the state's Department of Health and Human Services.

For Christ's sake. That is one of the most ignorant Covid-19 ideas out there. It's right up there with drinking bleach as cure.
