SF Catholic Church Defied Orders, Held Large Secret Wedding, Ten Attendees Including Newlyweds COVID+ – Joe.My.God.

In the days following, the newlywed couple and at least eight attendees tested positive for the coronavirus, two guests told The Chronicle. The potentially exposed guests flew back to Nashville, Arizona and San Diego, hot spots of the pandemic, potentially spreading the virus and providing a textbook example of health officials’ biggest fears about such large gatherings.

According to the above-linked report (paywall), days earlier the city had warned Catholic leaders to stop holding illegal events. But church leadership helped organize the wedding, the rehearsal dinner, and the reception anyway. Over 100 people were reportedly at the church when city officials made them leave. (

Dozens of Illinois educators talk about schools reopening – Chicago Tribune

“What if a student or educator dies? Or what if a 14-year-old comes to school with COVID and is asymptomatic, passes it on to his best friend, and kills his best friend’s mom? Or his best friend’s little sister who has a compromised immune system? Will schools be provided with the resources they need to provide extra social workers and counselors to help students and staff navigate that unimaginable trauma? Will districts have the resources they need to provide teachers with professional development in areas such as trauma-informed practices and social emotional learning? … This is an opportunity to revolutionize education, and to do something right by finally addressing the aforementioned inequities in a systemic way. But that won’t happen under the ‘leadership’ of an administration that continuously threatens to cut funding from already underfunded schools.”

— Lindsey L. Jensen is a 12th grade English teacher at Dwight Township High School in Dwight, and 2018 Illinois Teacher of the Year.

FDA Authorizes First Coronavirus Test for Asymptomatic People

this reissued authorization allows LabCorp to use the test on anyone, not just on people suspected of having covid-19 by their health care provider. The FDA said it expanded the use of the LabCorp test after the company provided data demonstrating the test’s ability to detect SARS-CoV-2 in a general, asymptomatic population.

According to the FDA, the data provided by LabCorp affirms that the test is as accurate when used with the asymptomatic population as it is among people suspected of having covid-19.

In addition, the FDA will also allow LabCorp to carry out pool testing, enabling the lab to test up to five patient samples at once using a single test. This is the second test the FDA has authorized for pool testing in recent weeks. The agency considers pool testing to be an important public health tool because it allows more people to be tested quickly using fewer resources.

South Korea’s elite contact tracers show the world how to beat Covid-19, East Asia News & Top Stories – The Straits Times

An old-school, shoe-leather investigation showed the virus had jumped from a night-club visitor, to a student, to a taxi driver and then alarmingly to a warehouse employee who worked with 4,000 others. Thousands of the employee’s co-workers, their family members and contacts were approached and 9,000 people were eventually tested. Two weeks later, the warehouse flareup was mostly extinguished and infections curtailed at 152.

Trump Rolls Back Fair Housing Rule in Bid to Win Suburban Votes

The Trump administration has revoked an Obama-era housing rule created to fight racial disparities in suburban areas, drawing criticism that the rollback will promote segregation.

Kristen Clarke, president of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law – a group founded in 1963 at the urging of President John F. Kennedy to combat discrimination against African Americans and other minority groups – said the White House’s action is “intended to drag America back into the Jim Crow era of racial segregation.”
