In this Oct. 8, 2013, file photo, a sign marks the entrance to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. A COVID-19 outbreak at a Georgia sleep away camp this June could have implications for school reopening, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
"Correct and consistent use of cloth masks, rigorous cleaning and sanitizing, social distancing, and frequent hand washing strategies, which are recommended in CDC's recently released guidance to reopen America's schools, are critical to prevent transmission of the virus in settings involving children and are our greatest tools to prevent COVID-19," the CDC said.
The Georgia Department of Health was notified and began its investigation the day after the first teenage staffer fell ill. All in all, test results were available for 344 of the 597 attendees from Georgia; among these, 260 were positive. At least 44% -- 260 of 597 -- got infected, although the researchers say not everyone was tested so the rate could be even higher. The 27 out-of-state attendees were not counted in this preliminary analysis.
Thought over 400 were affected.
Bad things happen to dumb people. The sad part is dumb people never figure out why.
*bangs head against toilet*
How many experienced symptoms bad enough to be hospitalized How many have passed ? These numbers are never included in the numbers and I feel this is a huge piece of the puzzle that is Covid 19! factsmatter
The kids will be fine. NEXT
More fear porn and fake news!
More panic, more fear, more bullshit.
And this will happen when schools reopen in September
Second half of headline 'But they all lived happily ever after'
😕
fake news
“but it did not make campers wear cloth face masks -- only the staff....with staff members having the highest attack rate at 56%.” So masks are only 40% effective? 🤔
LIES
You are fake news and the CNN of Canada. Congrats
No worries...on November 4th this virus will disappear
DoFo: 'yes but schools are different because you are there to learn and it is during the day, and so next question.' By October, there will be a new surge that will likely close the province again. Anyone been in a school late September? Noses running, sneezing, general illness.
Well if the CDC says it...there was likely just 2
It spread so quickly and infected so many kids, its scary.
