2 Utah County businesses told staff to ignore COVID-19 guidelines, resulting in 68 positive cases
Nearly half of the employees of a Utah County business tested positive for COVID-19 after the business instructed employees to not follow quarantine guidelines and required staff who had tested positive to report to work, according to a written statement from county executives.

The statement, which was released Monday evening and was signed by Utah County Commissioners Tanner Ainge, Bill Lee and Nathan Ivie and the mayors of each city in the county, said that 48% of employees of the unnamed business tested positive for COVID-19.

Between this business and another in a different geographic region of the county that “did not follow COVID-19 best practices,” 68 employees tested positive for coronavirus, Utah County executives said.

Number Of Suspected Cases Of Mysterious Pediatric Illness Now 64 In New York

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — State officials have released the number of suspected cases of the puzzling new illness impacting children which medical experts believe may be connected to COVID-19.

On Tuesday, New York City officials said there were at least 15 suspected cases in young people age 2-15 hospitalized with the inflammatory disease in New York City.

The illness is similar to Kawasaki syndrome, a rare blood vessel disorder. Of the 15, four tested positive for COVID-19. Of the negative, six had coronavirus antibodies, suggesting they had been infected earlier.
...
“We are learning that even though children are by and large mildly affected when it comes to COVID-19 that there can be situations that they are more severely affected. And thank God in this situation we haven’t had any children who have died with this Kawasaki or Kawasaki-like illness,” New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot said Tuesday.
...
Dr. Barbot said cases have also been identified in the U.K., Philadelphia and Boston.
 
I'm guessing no one actually followed the stay at home order at all and that's why a good portion are sick.

Even in my little area of Ohio I see neighbors having friends and family members and other visitors at least a few times a week. They're not openly defying the order, they're just incapable of critical thinking. The local state government is also incapable of conveying what it truly means to follow a Stay at Home order.
 
Daily Mail article. Expect it to be pushing an agenda because the media loves to feel it shapes the world regardless whether it's right or not.

In this case, clearly lockdown works as evidenced in Asia. It's moronic to suggest it doesn't as you'd need a scientific means of contagion - the disease it magically flying through walls to infect people? Instead of running with "we're bored of lockdown and are going to spread FUD to get it lifted," everything should be approached logically. Most likely explanations are infections from family members, long incubation periods, lack of actually staying at home, and such. "Does lockdown even work?" shouldn't be floated as a consideration.
 
Unfortunately the data doesn't include how many times they didn't follow the stay-at-home order.

Also, even if they asked the question, people will never truthfully answer it. This is where contact tracking and data harvesting from phones would shed more light on the situation.

Yes, reality shouldn't have an effect on public health plans.

A cynic might suggest that, given that the UK Government will be making a big announcement on Sunday about the future of the lockdown (via press conference, rather than to Parliament), the ever-faithful DM may have been co-opted in to prepare the ground.

Deja-Vu ... as explained to Shifty, they don't say what they're using as the population and the number is reverse engineered from a few rounded results they posted. I merely carried it down to the nearest person. They also didn't say what rounding rules they used.

CDC guide to reopening was trashed by the Trump admin. It just leaked
Trump admin allegedly told CDC its reopening guide would "never see the light of day."

Public health experts at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have leaked their recommendations on how to safely reopen businesses amid the COVID-19 pandemic—after officials in the Trump administration rejected the guidance and allegedly told CDC officials their plan would "never see the light of day."​

The 17-page document (PDF found here) was initially set to be published last Friday but was nixed. Instead, it was released to the Associated Press by a CDC official who was not authorized to release it.

The guidance lays out detailed, phased recommendations for how to safely reopen child care programs, schools, day camps, faith communities, businesses with vulnerable workers, restaurants, bars, and mass transit. Though some of the general points laid out already appear on federal websites—such as an emphasis on hand hygiene—the document uniquely offers tailored recommendations for each type of business.​


"CDC has always been the public health agency Americans turn to in a time of crisis," Dr. Howard Koh told the AP. Koh is a Harvard professor and worked in the Obama administration during the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic. "The standard in a crisis is to turn to them for the latest data and latest guidance and the latest press briefing. That has not occurred, and everyone sees that."​

This has been earlier observed in Europe, this is extremely interesting since the exact pathology of KD has remained unknown to these days. I've been occasionally checking of any new progress on its research (which has been close to zero) ever since we had a case of it in my family years back. There have been speculations about it being a post-condition of infection from an unspecified pathogen. I have a hunch that some of the viruses giving people common colds have similar traits leading to KD that SARS-CoV-2 is now showing in a more widespread fashion.
