May 25, 20205 yr comment_475049 7 hours ago, Mark H. said: I also think Manitoba has done well, but I’m worried about who is on our borders - Ontario and the Dakotas. I'd be more concerned about the latter simply due to proximity; fortunately, the Canada-US border remains closed and will remain closed for some time. With Ontario, the NW region our province borders is so sparsely populated from the provincial border pretty much to Sault Ste. Marie, with Thunder Bay being the largest urban area within that region. Relatively speaking, Manitoba is very far away from Ontario's hot zone. So, all that said, neither should be necessarily worrying to Manitobans at this juncture of the pandemic.

May 25, 20205 yr comment_475059 Follow up on the school opening discussion last week. Took a little longer to hear from my friend in Norway (his mother passed ((non-covid)) 2 weeks ago and he'e been dealing with her estate. His comment: There has been a few corona cases at the schools, but less then I thought it would be, we've opened up almost all schools nowadays He is quite concerned about a second wave and he believes that there will not be as such strict adherence to the guideline a second time through.

May 25, 20205 yr comment_475062 https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/vaccine-clinical-trials-1.5580436 Quote When the World Health Organization first named the disease in February, it said the first vaccine wouldn't be available for 18 months. Since then, U.S. experts have said it would likely take 12 to 18 months, while the European Medicines Agency has said a vaccine could be approved in about a year in an "optimistic" scenario. That's much faster than the five to 10 years it normally takes to develop a vaccine. The good news: it's going much faster than normal. So many variables at play but it does seem like we're on the right track with vaccine development.
May 25, 20205 yr comment_475067 Possibility a vaccine could be read by the end of the year https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/22/moderna-vaccine-researcher-it-mind-boggling-to-be-done-in-2020.html Quote I am cautiously optimistic” that a Covid-19 vaccine could be ready for distribution by the end of 2020, Emory University medicine professor Dr. Carlos del Rio told CNBC on Friday. His comments echo that of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who said earlier that day that the vaccine development timeline is still “intact.” “Trying to think that, a year after a virus has been identified, we will have a vaccine ready to deploy and ready to go into massive distribution, it’s simply mind-boggling to me,” del Rio said.
May 25, 20205 yr comment_475071 A couple of things: it is quite possible that there will never be a vaccine, and even if there is, a poll last week of Trump supporters indicated that 24% would not take the vaccine for one reason and another. Also, there has never been a pandemic where there was not a second wave. It ain't over til its over.

May 25, 20205 yr comment_475102 Springfield Hair Stylist, Sick With COVID-19, Saw 84 Clients A hair stylist at Great Clips, 1864 S. Glenstone, in Springfield, worked while sick recently, exposing 84 clients and seven co-workers to COVID-19, according to local health officials. The health department announced the potential exposure of coronavirus Friday. Clients who had appointments with the stylist during those times are being notified of their exposure to COVID-19 and are being offered testing for the illness, according to a news release from the health department. Both the stylist and their clients wore masks, officials said. Springfield-Greene County Health Department director, Clay Goddard, said this should give officials a chance to see how effective masks are in preventing the spread of COVID-19. The person is believed to have contracted the illness when they traveled domestically to a high-risk area. https://www.ksmu.org/post/springfield-hair-stylist-sick-covid-19-saw-84-clients?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_term=nprnews&utm_campaign=npr#stream/0

May 25, 20205 yr comment_475105 Just as a matter of caution, I think that visitors from Saskatchewan should be required to pass through a trough of sheep dip at the Manitoba border. It wouldn't stop the Coronavirus, but I just like the idea of de-lousing them.

May 26, 20205 yr comment_475156 COVID-19 not very infectious 8 days after symptoms occur, Winnipeg study suggests Researchers in largest study of its kind find no viral growth after Day 8 COVID-19 appears to be infectious only for the first eight days after patients experience symptoms, Winnipeg researchers conclude in a study that, if confirmed by further work, could have implications for the way the disease is treated, isolated and prevented. In the largest study of its kind so far, researchers from the National Microbiology Laboratory, Cadham Provincial Laboratory and the University of Manitoba looked at nasal or throat samples from 90 Manitobans who tested positive for COVID-19 from March 12 to the first week of April. All of the samples came from patients who were confirmed to be infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, the most common means of diagnosing the disease around the world. This type of test extracts a small amount of genetic material and then copies it into quantities that can be more easily identified. The Winnipeg researchers used the same samples to try to grow more of the virus in cell cultures. They succeeded with 26 of the samples, or 29 per cent in total. There was no viral growth whatsoever in samples taken from patients more than eight days after they became symptomatic, according to study findings published Friday in the peer-reviewed journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/covid19-infectious-period-1.5583722

However, it does confirm that we need 10 days of isolation following symptoms showing up.
