A Canadian spin studio followed public health guidelines. But 61 people still caught the covid-19.

Now, despite appearing to have complied with public health regulations, at least 61 people linked to the studio have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

“They had done all sorts of things to remove the potential for spread,” Richardson told reporters. “Unfortunately, gyms are a higher-risk place because of the fact that generally people are taking off their masks, they’re breathing at a higher rate.”

Although Hamilton requires masks to be worn in most public settings, the law includes an exemption for anyone “actively engaged in an athletic or fitness activity.” In keeping with that policy, the studio, SPINCO, allowed riders to remove their masks once clipped into their bikes, and told them to cover up again before dismounting.

In a recent Instagram post, SPINCO’s owners said that they had been “hesitant” to reopen after getting the green light in July, and would not resume classes “until it is safe

This is the first of a three part series analyzing public health infrastructure in the United States. This introduction analyzes the governing bodies of US public health and why they are not getting the job done.

Covid-19 exposed the failures of our government in the United States. The US government has not succeeded in protecting the health of its residents—its response to the epidemic has been disjointed, poorly coordinated and, in many regions of the country, largely ineffective. While the federal government has played a central and important role in research and in the development of Covid-19 drugs and vaccines, messages coming from the White House and its supporters across government and from

Newt Gingrich: Trump and public health system have saved 2 million lives in coronavirus pandemic

October 14, 2020
| No Comments
| Health Current Events

In the first two debates of the 2020 general election presidential contest, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., have claimed that President Trump is personally responsible for the now more than 215,000 Americans who have perished from COVID-19. 

This is factually wrong, disingenuous, immoral, and disrespectful to the hundreds of thousands of Americans who are working every day to defeat the coronavirus and save lives. It completely ignores the real, successful Trump administration efforts to save lives.

It glosses over the Democratic leaders who have presided over the most devastating losses — New York and New Jersey combined account for nearly one-quarter (23 percent) of all American deaths, according to Tuesday’s U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention figures. Finally, it only serves to sow more fear and discord among Americans.

Children largely escaped the first wave of COVID, but they may be at the epicenter of a new health crisis stemming from the pandemic, a top national health official said Tuesday in Columbus.

That’s because the routine became rare during at least the first several months of the coronavirus outbreak: child vaccinations, wellness screenings, mental health care and dental visits — especially for low-income children.

“If we are not careful in how we address this, we could give rise to a second public health crisis and that’s the impact of all this foregone care, whether it’s increases in routine illnesses because we’ve missed vaccinations or the screenings not detecting issues in children,” said

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — As the coronavirus continues to affect North Carolina’s Latino communities, outreach workers are providing public health information, in Spanish and culturally relevant to this growing population.

Hector Salgado, community impact director for the American Heart Association in Charlotte, was spearheading an effort to raise awareness about heart health and blood-pressure monitoring among Latinos when the pandemic hit. With help from the Mecklenburg County Public Health Department and Blue Cross/Blue Shield, he said, the program pivoted to COVID-19 prevention. As the crisis worsened, Salgado said, he began to notice what he described as rampant misinformation in the Latino community.

“And those resources are not reflected,” he said. “I went to the farmer’s market and I saw

Alliant Testing

MADISON, Wis. – Following a temporary closure and slowdown at the Alliant Energy Center’s COVID-19 testing site Tuesday afternoon, Public Health Madison & Dane County recommended other options for those seeking tests that day.

In general, the health agency is asking people to consider the time, place and reason they’re getting tested.

“A lot of people do think the Alliant Energy Center is the first place to get tested,” Director of Testing Ken Van Horn said. “We always know that the first day of the week is a busy day, then today we had the added complication of our electronic registration system just didn’t work for about the first hour we were here today, and that caused a pretty big backup.”

PHMDC staff had to use a backup paper registration system

Health Department director: Public needs to keep up testing in order to help stop spread of COVID-19

October 13, 2020

| Dept Of Health

Dr. Martha Buchanan said authorities suspect the “underlying level” of the virus is greater than what’s reflected by current testing.

KNOXVILLE, Tennessee — Knox County’s health director suspects people infected with COVID-19 are skipping getting a test, resulting in the silent spread of the highly contagious virus.

Hospitalizations among residents are up to 70 – an all-time high since the pandemic broke out.

Knox County also reported three new deaths Tuesday, raising the total to 89 since March.

Dr. Martha Buchanan, Knox County Health Department director, said area hospitals are “very concerned” about the rise in hospitalizations. They confer regularly to track how the virus ebbs and flows in the community.

Buchanan said she suspects people infected or exposed to the virus just aren’t getting tested, either because they don’t want to have to isolate for an extended amount of time or don’t want to self-quarantine in case they’ve been
