18 members of Yale’s men’s ice hockey team test positive for COVID-19
Connecticut /more at link
CNN) — Eighteen members of Yale University’s men’s hockey team have been instructed to isolate after testing positive for coronavirus.
Collectively, the cluster raised the school’s Covid-19 alert status from green, which notes “lower risk” to yellow, which signals “low to moderate risk of viral transmission.”
On Tuesday, the university community was notified that six members of a varsity athletic team had tested positive for the virus. Over the past two days 12 additional positive cases have been detected, the Ivy League school confirmed to CNN.
“All other members of the men’s ice hockey team who are in the New Haven area, as well as the Athletics staff who have worked directly with them, have been instructed to quarantine and to participate in the university testing program, whether or not they have been identified as close contacts of infected team members,” Stephanie Spangler, Vice Provost for Health Affairs and Academic Integrity, said in a letter to the Yale community Thursday evening.
Spangler told students “rigorous” contact tracing efforts are underway to identify other individuals who may have been in close contact with the athletes, and said all varsity athletic teams and intramural programs would stop in-person activities for a week. The school’s hockey rink would also be closed for cleaning through Monday, Oct. 19.
Why ice hockey rinks may enable transmission
The announcement came one day after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s weekly report suggested indoor sports games could turn into superspreader events.
In the report, Florida health department officials detailed an incident in which one player infected as many as 14 others at a single indoor ice hockey game last spring.

Maine Wedding COVID-19 Outbreak Investigation Still Not Closed

One of the focal points of the outbreak was the Big Moose Inn in Millinocket, and it spread to the York County Jail in Alfred, Maine officials have said. Those aspects of the investigation are now closed, said Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Nirav Shah.
The outbreak also spread to Maplecrest Rehabilitation and Living Center in Madison, Shah and other Maine officials have said. That facility, which was the site of six deaths from the virus, is continuing with testing, Shah said.
"They have also had stability," Shah said. "They still need to meet the requirements for closure."

Australian food banks report huge surge in demand during Covid pandemic
Casual workers and international students among ‘newly food insecure groups’, Foodbank report says.
“In 2019, 15% of Australians experiencing food insecurity were seeking food relief at least once a week,” the report said.
“In 2020, this has more than doubled to 31%. Although charities are seeing demand for food relief become more erratic and unpredictable, overall numbers are up by an average of 47%.”
The report found 39% of charities providing food bank services had seen an increase in demand among international students, who are barred from access to jobseeker or job keeper payments.
Guardian Australia has reported on how thousands of international students have turned to foodbanks to survive, with some research suggesting as many as one in six have relied on charity for emergency food relief.

Isn’t it curious that we never saw any positive cases among the protestors and rioters in late May and June? It almost seems.... unbelievable... that there were 4 positive cases among the protestors for this rally, yet none among the massive numbers of protestors, rioters, looters, and arsonists over the summer. Truly fascinating how that works.

Yes it is. TBH, in this example, why would you attend a rally to protest it and risk catching Covid anyway? Just don't go.

New York live update in 30 minutes at 11:30 eastern on COVID for those that live there or are interested. There has been a lot happening in the last two weeks in New York concerning COVID and new focus areas. "Gov. Andrew Cuomo to reveal New York’s strategy to fight COVID-19 this fall. "
(((ETA #2 : They are now going to target with increased mitigation BLOCK TO BLOCK on microclusters, not just state/city/zip code as they now have that information to drill down and target (as another country did at the outset and now does... he's mirroring best practices MOO) so that others aren't affected going forward. ))) He's doing this through increased and target testing, mitigation and enforcement.
FYI live presser in 30
ETA: As of 20 minutes after the hour (10 minutes to start) audio and video is now live with media setting up. ?What is this venue... tiny tiny!?

Thinking more about this... Protestors were outside and moving, while rally participants were seated next to other individuals for an extended time period. Some protestors did wear masks. Many at the rallies did not. If you look at the Bemidji rally photos, there are many, many maskless people. This may be the difference.

any assessment regarding an EUA will be made on a case-by-case basis considering the target population
When they say case-by-case basis they are talking about the product, not the patient. The company will have to apply for an EUA for use of their product. The EUA may be approved for use in adults, but not children or seniors, for example. Once the product has received approval for a population target, it can be given to that population.
I think you may be confusing EUA with Compassionate Use, which is approved on a patient-by-patient basis.

Ah, thanks as I'm ignorant to such. I'll look into such to educate myself. Great that so many can keep the rest of us straight.
Listening to Cuomo now, what he is saying sounds like he's focused on best practices going down to the micro cluster areas for mitigations.

There certainly were some in SoCal. But, with limited or no contact tracing in most places, it's hard to say how many.
The bad actors (not the protestors, but the looters) were mostly wearing face coverings, for obvious reasons. Many of the protestors were not, early on, and both protestors and LE reported a few cases of CV transmission in Los Angeles.
Of course, we didn't have much looting here in SoCal, as compared to past actions of civil disobedience (Rodney King trial).
Outdoor transmission, especially when people keep moving, seems to be about 5% of indoor transmission. Most of the cases of transmission among athletes are happening in the locker rooms, although surely the face-to-face breathing and body contact of football is playing a role there.
Timing is important too. For the West Coast, our positivity rates were still fairly low when our protests occurred, it will be different in various places.

Interesting. Minnesota is up there with the second highest literacy rate.

From original post: Isn’t it curious that we never saw any positive cases among the protestors and rioters in late May and June? ... Truly fascinating how that works.
?? Very unclear, why this is coming up now.... we discussed this extensively when demonstrations were heaviest. I was at one demonstration, and would never consider NOT wearing a mask. Everyone I saw at the demonstration wore masks. Everyone.
It was a mask wearing issue.....EVEN for criminal looters!!!
In Buckley Park, you would have to look hard to find one BLM protester without a mask.
