For months, New York sent more than 4,300 recovering elderly COVID patients back to nursing homes because of a Coumo directive. I don't get how this isn't the biggest news. The core issues aren't the beaches, the parks or the unmasked joggers passing by.https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/ap-count-4300-virus-patients-ny-nursing-homes-70825470 …

I'm also not saying let the young get infected. There really isn't enough focus on what "surviving" COVID means for younger people. But so much energy is focused on activities that we have little to no known cases of transmission and are as low-risk as life gets, and yet... sigh.

We aren't sure when the infectiousness stops. 14 days is a guideline but there are cases to either side—some longer. But sending anyone who needs extra care/precautions to nursing homes where they were already barely managing things was a bad idea. https://twitter.com/ThisWasMash/status/1263904892952948737 …

How can a summer camp full of kids be low risk? They’re disease spreaders at the best of times.

There's very little evidence of kids spreading SARS-CoV-2. Adult-to-adult transmission is where it's at. Starting to develop some science about why this is (related to children expressing fewer ACE2 receptors in their nasal epithelium, also explains their lower susceptibility).

At the day camps I attended as a kid, there was plenty of indoor stuff: rainy days, arts and crafts, swimming, more. Maybe it can be done safely, but that’s not 100% obvious, and it may not be true for all or even most day camps.

Are you referring to day camp only?

What happens to adult camp administration - or kids coming back from camps?

Sleep away camps seem pretty high-risk, even if kids spend time outdoors. Cabins are small, poorly ventilated dorms, a transmission nightmare. Daycamps where kids spend all day outside, much less so.

What do you think about daycare risk? I have a three-year-old.
