"What we need is more research to explain where the symptoms are coming from," one expert said.

Major medical centers nationwide trying to understand why some COVID-19 patients continue to have symptoms weeks and even months after having been diagnosed with the coronavirus.

Amy Watson, 47, is one of those patients. She's had a fever, she said, for more than 100 days.

"It's been maddening," said Watson, a preschool teacher in Portland, Oregon. Since mid-March, her temperature has crept up to 100 or 101 degrees almost daily by midafternoon.


She was diagnosed with COVID-19 in April, about a month after her symptoms — cough, congestion and extreme fatigue — began. Now, those symptoms have evolved into weeks of low-grade fever and a burning sensation under her skin.

Watson's illness was never severe enough to warrant hospitalization. Instead, her symptoms have lurked in the background, never fully resolving. Doctors have had few answers for her.

Which is why standalone bars are furious. These restaurants are basically treating their establishments like bars. Alcohol and live entertainment.

They need to keep restaurants at take out only. None of that 50% capacity BS.
Yeah, I'd be hot AF if I owned a bar and had to shut down but restaurants and strip clubs didn't :dead:

"Prather fears that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, could enter coastal waters in similar ways and transfer back into the air along the coast.

In her research, Prather has found that the ocean churns up all kinds of particulate and microscopic pathogens, and every time the ocean sneezes with a big wave or two, it sprays these particles into the air. She believes that this new coronavirus is light enough to float through the air much farther than we think. The six-feet physical distancing rule, she said, doesn’t apply at the beach, where coastal winds can get quite strong and send viral particles soaring."


Scientists are unsure of coronavirus effects at the beach

Seems like no matter how much of the particulates there are, it's no way that it would be enough to not be easily diluted by a mass of water or even a decent sized ocean spray. Just my non-scientific theory though.
