    "People who refuse to wear a face mask are likely to have sociopathic tendencies, a Brazilian study has claimed.

    Researchers found that anti-social behaviour is a common trait amongst those who prefer not to wear coverings amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    Professor Fabiano Koich Miguel and colleagues at the Universidade Estadual de Londrina researched the link between compliance with face mask wearing and ‘anti-social traits’ in a survey of around 1,600 people in Brazil. " -- https://nu.federati.net/url/274497 [metro co uk]

    Took a while because of privacy rules, but I think $EMPLOYER is about to issue policies around company-provided #COVID-19 testing. Unfortunately, I don't think they're making allowance for the fact that test results are for a specific point in time, so a "clean bill of health" on one day's test does not necessarily apply two weeks later.

    *Sigh*

    Obvious interference by someone other than the public health folks. If we're going to slow and stop the spread of #COVID-19, we need _more_ testing, not less, and we need to re-test people that have already been tested before, because infected / not-infected is a point-in-time state, not a lifetime state.

      #LAUSD plans will require lots of work from nurses ... but school districts across #SoCal have one nurse for multiple schools. I don't see it happening as planned. Lots of kids and their families will fall through the cracks. Yes, phased reopenings will help, but they're going to have to enlist the help of community groups* and outside medical providers, if for no other reason, because they have to convince families whose biggest fear is being discovered by government agencies and being sent back "home".
