I also have a daughter that is in her first year of teaching at an elementary school in Houston. I feel better knowing this information.

We are struggling with the information we are receiving from our local school district (Fort Bend ISD). <br /><br />The panel of doctors advising the district are giving a different, more alarming scenario as evidenced in this Houston Chronicle article that includes interviews with these same physicians: <br />https://www.chron.com/neighborhood/sugarland/news/article/Medical-officials-warn-schools-could-suffer-15423066.php<br /><br />Statements such as “This virus has created a situation of having no symptoms to being on a ventilator and dying within two days,” creates panic that distorts what is relevant to the impact on school students. This panic and misinformation also feed into the feasibility of existing drugs that may be able to mitigate the effects of the virus, but are not being fully discussed for other non-medical reasons.

This one is excellent: https://www.nytimes.com/article/coronavirus-body-symptoms.html<br /><br />Italy was slow to respond with public health measures. If the USA follows Singapore and Korea and acts quickly, it can help stave off the onslaught of cases allowing for the hospitals to operate effectively and handle the load.<br /><br />Our sick visits the last few weeks have been normal/high, mostly due to seasonal flu. This past week, I did feel the acuity of the flu letting up some, either secondary to seasonality or hand washing or because many have already caught the flu and are now protected.<br /><br />Thanks for your support!Peter Junghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235011146063672219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5923231085926288168.post-60711807336142244342020-03-12T06:59:29.135-07:002020-03-12T06:59:29.135-07:00Thank you for this as it helped articulate and add...Thank you for this as it helped articulate and address many of our concerns.<br />You mentioned prognosis is good for those below 60. Is there a resource that explains what to expect if contracted with the virus and duration of illness, including best way to treat at home. People in Italy are highlighting how the medical capacity is being overwhelmed because everyone is going to the hospital.<br />Also curious if your office will see a decline in general sick visits now that many are being sensitive to good hygiene practices.<br />Thank you again and please continue to keep us informed with your perspective.
