AUSTIN (KXAN) — With active cases of COVID-19 in slight decline around Texas, a projection by modelers at the University of Texas at Austin raises new concerns. It suggests there will be 15,000 more deaths in Texas over the next three weeks.

The model by UT’s College of Natural Sciences predicts that more than 23,000 Texans will die as a result of COVID-19 by Aug. 31. Currently 8,459 Texans have died since the pandemic began. The predicted escalation would represent a 177% increase by Aug. 31.

You didn't link the story, but it's pretty clear the modelers think the model could be wrong.

https://www.kxan.com/news/coronavirus/ut-model-predicts-sharp-climb-in-texas-covid-19-deaths-by-end-of-august/

Quote

UT modelers base their projection on current social distancing data they glean from geolocation cell phone data. An anomaly in the data may account for the high prediction. On July 27th, the state reported 1,202 deaths. The modelers believe this may be causing something unusual happening in their model.

Eh, I thought he did the daily update because the Travis county dashboard was limited, so it only showed the hospitalized number for that day. And he stopped doing it when the Travis county dashboard got updated so it showed hospitalizations vs time. Maybe I'm misremembering but I try to give folks the benefit of the doubt.

The real ballgame is what happens from mid-August through early October.  How does behavior change when college kids are back on campus, some kids are back in school, and some colleges are trying to host tens of thousands of people at football games?   I think we have learned to gradually beat back the virus the way we are living this summer, but life is about to change because the calendar says it is time to change.  Our reaction to that will drive the numbers in October and November, which could either dwarf August numbers or decay to not much, based on behavior.

Not just schools, but Labor Day weekend.   We've had really hot weather, as usual these days, and things are loosening up/people are getting tired, so a three day weekend will come at the perfect time.  

I wonder if that's partly why AISD pushed back the start of school then, with 4 weeks of virtual so they can get a grasp on Labor Day will play out.

You joke, but plenty are still beating that drum.   It's the summer when many are home.  We can check in on a small sample size.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/10/health/us-coronavirus-monday/index.html

Quote

Just as thousands more students return to classrooms this week, another study shows how easily children can get coronavirus.  More than 97,000 children in the US tested positive for coronavirus in the last two weeks of July, according to a new report published by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children's Hospital Association.

The researchers found a 40% increase in child coronavirus cases in the states and cities that were studied during those two weeks, with a 16% increase in covid-related posts on a University of Texas Longhorns fan site, SurlyHorns.com.

The age range for children differed by state, with some defining children as only those up to age 14 and one state -- Alabama -- pushing the limit to 24.  Researchers note that Alabama is also known for pushing the limit on what constitutes incest.

Quote

The new study, along with previous research, directly contradicts some Surlyhorns.com posters' claims that children are "almost immune" to Covid-19.

While more classrooms are scheduled to reopen this week, some students who just started the school year must go back to virtual learning because of new infections among students and teachers, even as some who don't understand things like science, claim that all of this is impossible.

Quote

Yet many Americans still aren't heeding the basic advice that would significantly reduce the spread -- and would help get more students back into classrooms safely, doctors say.

"We're still generating 50,000 to 70,000 new cases a day, 1,000 Americans are dying every day," said Dr. Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute. "This is all wholly preventable.  And we are less than two months away from Texas A&M University's plans to fill a football stadium with over 50,000 fans, in an effort to win an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records for most covid cases to be traced to a single event. "

Quote

And many Americans are now moving around as much as they did before the pandemic, said Dr. Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. 

"If you look at the mobility data collected from cell phones in many parts of the country, we're almost back to pre-Covid levels of mobility," Murray said. "So we're just not being as cautious as other people are in other countries.  In fact, in July alone, we found that almost 70% of Texans visited Colorado for a vacation."

I feel like there's a lot of this going on.  We want to do this but lack the courage to face the blowback - hopefully someone else will do it first.  Let's wait and see.

But we get the leaders we deserve, I guess.

[kevwun 15653]

A friend who teaches middle school said they are going to shutdown all of their campuses after their first positive case and then go in to remote school for a quarantine period and then try to reopen again.  They are going to be open for a couple of days before the open and closing cycle begins.  It seems incredibly silly to go through the motions like that.  It's better than a damn the torpedoes approach though.

In LISD they've already got the technology and plan covered, so they're not delaying the official start.  It's still 8/13.  The plan is first 3 weeks online-only, until 9/8, and then reevaluate.  I'll be surprised if, at that point, they don't kick the can further down the road and say the next evaluation will be 10/15 or something. And then 11/20.  And then the entire Fall will be online-only.  It's just their way of softening up the resistance to an entire semester/year of online-only.

Divorce filings down this summer in Travis and Williamson Counties versus a year ago (50%+ in Travis, 40%+ in Wilco).

https://www.kxan.com/news/divorce-during-the-pandemic-which-way-are-the-numbers-trending/

Did not see a corresponding spike in homicide or murder-suicides, but apparently call to divorce attorneys have been way up.

Quote

Calls to divorce law firms have increased so much that Davis has been forced to hire three new attorneys.

“We’ve got a lot of people who are looking for information,” she said. “Whether or not they’re choosing to move forward with ending their relationship, proceeding with the divorce, isn’t clear yet, but they’re certainly reaching out and trying to get more data, information about the process.”

Davis also emphasized that while the courts are taking longer to process divorce cases, they’re making exceptions and expediting emergency cases.

Speaking of kids, and keep in mind that these are numbers at a time when many childcare centers were closed

https://www.kxan.com/investigations/thousands-of-child-care-centers-still-closed-due-to-covid-19/

Quote

According to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, since March there’s been 3,098 reported positive cases of COVID-19 across 1,801 child care operations. The vast majority are staff which make up 2,055 of the cases, but 1,043 children have also tested positive.  

Quote

The state’s data shows that nearly 4,800 child care centers have closed between February and now. The number represents about 28% of all operations in Texas that haven’t reopened yet. 

Quote

“The cost of providing care safely under COVID conditions is adding costs of about $300 to $900 per month — per child – and that’s not sustainable for the child care operation to cover those costs, and it’s not sustainable to pass the costs on to families with young children,” said McHorse.

ARC Clinical Research contributes to COVID-19 Vaccine Trial

 

August 07, 2020

 

 

 

ARC will recruit 250 ARC patients from across Central Texas to enroll in this late phase clinical trial, intended to prove the safety and efficacy of the sponsor’s vaccine compound and potentially enable this sponsor to be the first to bring a vaccine to market. 

Dr. Gretchen Crook, Principal Investigator for ARC Clinical Research, noted “It is the top priority of the United States and the world to find a successful vaccine to prevent the infection and spread of COVID-19.  This vaccine candidate has the potential to save lives and allow us to return to a way of life that will restore our economy, re-connect our friendships, and continue activities we all enjoy.  ARC Clinical Research was selected as a partner in this study based on our long track record of conducting high quality trials and our speed in enrolling study participants.”

Be a part of history

“This study offers an opportunity to be a part of history and benefit humankind.  There are 7 billion people in our world who will need access to a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 infection, and ARC Clinical Research is thrilled to have a role in bringing a vaccine to Americans”, says Jeff Repper, Director of ARC Clinical Research.

Participants will be compensated for their time and contributions to the clinical study. All COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial services will be delivered at ARC Clinical Research Wilson Parke, located at 11714 Wilson Parke Ave., Suite 150 in Austin’s Four Points neighborhood. 

ARC Clinical Research is a division of Austin Regional Clinic, a physician-owned multispecialty medical group with 350 physicians and clinicians committed to providing comprehensive healthcare services throughout the greater Austin area.

[troph 24563]

Just finished my kids fall schedule - all online - mostly out school and we are pretty damn excited. The range of options was great, all live instruction. We have 5th grade, 7th and 10th and the elective options were superb, and I was able to add extra classes in history and including civil rights/African American history as well as cool classes on WWII for even my 5th grader, an amazing 7th grade literature class, sociology for my 10th grader, psychology for my 7th grader, lego challenge class for 5th, coding and hacking for 10th and some photography classes and ukulele course too. Core classes as well but those aren’t a cool - algebra I, II, chemistry, biology, world history, etc. but fun science electives for my 5th grader including the central nervous system and dinosaurs of the sea and air. A lot of the cool courses are short modules like 8 classes over 2 months. I need to fill in some spanish for two of them and I think we are good. For PE we have sailing lessons possibly as well as tennis and fall baseball. We will pick up golf too next spring. We have a bunch of saved courses for next semester too and a lot of the ones we have signed up roll right into the 2nd and 3rd part of the same course. This could be really good.

 

We’ve got a civil rights road trip planned and we may do some Texas history via audible and a road trip as well this fall.

 

The amount of time wasted in traditional school is apparent. We won’t be jerked around, we bounced out and are going our own way.

 

We are seeing the Democratization of education and private control in a way that’s pretty amazing. I think we may be nearing a private school quality education for a fraction of the cost for three kids. We did invest in well equipped dedicated work stations too but I think it’s going to be worth it. Time will tell but I’ve never been this excited about my children’s school.

 

If you have thought about pressing the eject button on public school it’s not too late. There are tons of ridiculously good options out there, even the major universities have self paced high school programs. UT costs a fraction of what traditional private school costs and if you want live instruction Outschool is rapidly expanding. Just do it.
