Synopsis

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/GFs0TET3ANw   That traditional weekend visit to the grandfolks could infect them with CoVid.  A just pre-published study from Tel Aviv University reveals a significant 5 day post weekend peak in new CoVid cases after analysis of data from 7 of 12 countries around the world.   New CoVid  cases tick up on Thursday to Friday as one would expect from a 5 day lag between an elder’s contact with an infected weekend visitor and manifestation of symptoms,  Furthermore, deaths also bumped up but 12-14 days after inter-generational weekend visits.   The safest way to visit Grams and Gramps is via FaceTime, Zoom, or an open first floor window.    https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.03.20089508v1.full.pdf   #pandemic #covid #grandparents #weekendvisits
