Projections are just that. They aren’t peer reviewed studies. They encouraged people to follow the guidelines. They are bewildered at the percentage of our population who do not comply with the CDC guidelines for whatever the reason.

New government study shows one can get pregnant from kissing. Dang. My grandmother was right!

God, will people just give it a break. The incubation period for COVID is 4 to 5 days. This was a teenager who I’m sure has not been sitting at home and doing nothing. She had been in school, maybe she caught it from someone who was asymptomatic. I sure sure she talked or was in contact with other people during this time. How many things did she touch during this time? Did she constantly wash her hands? Was she constantly wearing a mask? This a virus the same as a cold. Over the years how many times have you caught a cold and can’t remember being near someone with a cold. I’ll bet the answer is dozens. This is a pandemic virus and you can only do so much to avoid getting it. As they say in combat there is no safe place either you get it or you don’t. If you are that freaked out over it I would suggest you invest in a class five biohazard suit, sit in your house and wait for the vaccine. In the meantime I’ll continue to wear my mask, wash my hands and socially distance myself and try to have a normal a life as possible.

Absolutely incorrect numbers according to CDC, JHU, and the Covid Tracking Project!

There is no scientific evidence that this teen got it at the restaurant. The article states they were going to school!

It's 'sobering' only if you're drunk with Chinese virus fear.

I'm beginning to believe these 'protective measures' are only practice events for the next round of government control.

From the news article.

After a detailed investigation, an epidemiological team concluded the student had contracted COVID-19 while dining at a restaurant.

To quote a circulating email:

"The spread of Covid-19 is based on two things:

How dense the population is.
How dense the population is."

So? If true, it's one in many million. I think our current masks, distancing, remaining at home more and not visiting with strangers is working well for most of us. And it happened in NYC, not Korea.

I read the article. At best it's possible that the teen got the virus from the woman. The fact that the teen was a student diminishes the probability the she got it from the woman. It is more probable that the teen got it from another student that was asymptomatic or one that showed very little symptoms. My wife is a high school teacher and the rate of infection in her high school is alarming at the very least. I wrote about this last March when some said they would never wear a mask. There is no consequence to spreading the virus. No one is guilty of transmitting the virus because it cannot be proven that they did so. If the virus brought along DNA from the one transmitting it than yes the source could be identified. But it doesn't so that woman is innocent until proven guilty and considering it cannot be proven then I guess she's as innocent as all the asymptomatic students.

No, Not NYC, it happened in South Korea. The photo is of cafe in NYC, the article is about a teen in South Korea.
