Re: [AFMUG] OT VirusI doubt most would think to go get a test if they had the mild symptoms that I have been reading about.

CDC test kits are not the only test in town. As of today both Labcorp and Qwest Diagnostics have their own testing capabilities. This means any doctor can now do a swab and send it off to either of these labs just like any other test they do. There should be no reason for no testing now. https://newsroom.questdiagnostics.com/2020-03-05-Quest-Diagnostics-to-Launch-Coronavirus-Disease-2019-COVID-19-Test https://www.labcorp.com/information-labcorp-about-coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19 -- Best regards, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Technologies, Inc. www.Myakka.com ------ Monday, March 9, 2020, 12:24:15 PM, you wrote: There has not really been any testing at all in the US. Total tests to date in the US is fewer than 5000. By contrast South Korea is doing 10,000 per day. The test kits are only starting to be distributed in the US. They might have substantial numbers of kits sometime next week. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/9/2020 9:12 AM, Steve Jones wrote: 10 There has been no confirmation outside the media conjecture that asymptomatic people can spread it. Im curious, and too lazy to look, what type of testing was done on them, was it a nasal swab, or a blood test. A nasal swab just indicates exposure. Remember the DOG INFECTED WITH CORONA VIRUS!!! headline a couple weeks ago? Yeah, it died down when it was pointed out that the dog didnt test positive, the dog never had it, it was just present in the swab as an environmental contaminate. If a swab of a door handle shows it present, we dont say the door handle has it, because it doesnt, its simply on the door handle On Mon, Mar 9, 2020 at 10:17 AM Mathew Howard <mhoward...@gmail.com> wrote: I read that half of the people on the Diamond Princess cruise ship that tested positive for the virus didn't have symptoms... if that's true, and those people are able to spread it, there are almost certainly a LOT of people running around with it. That also means that the death rate is probably way, way lower than we've been made to believe.

In the mean time, in that area probably 10,000 people got the flu, and 100 of them died On Mon, Mar 9, 2020 at 10:01 AM Bill Prince <part15...@gmail.com> wrote: Interesting tidbit from the NYT this morning: Adam Kucharski, who studies the math behind outbreaks for the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, recently talked to The Times about how people should look at the coronavirus data. One signal Dr. Kucharski looks for is when the first case in an area is a death: “That suggests you had a lot of community transmission already,” he said. “Suppose the fatality rate for cases is about 1 percent, which is plausible,” he explained. “If you’ve got a death, then that person probably became ill about three weeks ago. That means you probably had about 100 cases three weeks ago, in reality.” “In that subsequent three weeks,” he added, “that number could well have doubled, then doubled, then doubled again. So you’re currently looking at 500 cases, maybe 1,000 cases.” My corollary on the above is that if we have that many cases in a community, then a lot of people are running around with no clue that they have been infected. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/9/2020 6:16 AM, Ken Hohhof wrote: We have moved from containment to community mitigation, where the goal is to flatten the curve and avoid overloading the healthcare system, and wait for a vaccine (no, not imminent). Messaging has not quite caught up with this reality, but if you listen to Dr. Anthony Fauci you can figure it out. Those of you going to WISPAmerica, stay safe. Wash your hands, and use the hand sanitizer that I assume will be everywhere. Maybe take a thermometer. And Steve, I’m shocked, shocked to hear that your town has Amtrak.

Turns out a lady from here in town was in the car behind this lady and we "exposed" So that equates to "its here in town now" I already talked to the OB about this. The wifes having the baby cut from her gut on the 18th which has a 3 day recovery in thos hospital. In the mean time everybody and their brother is going to be comimg out to the hospital because theyre certain they have the deaths. Theyre bringing every germ known to man into one place. Hospitals are already infection centers, dirty filthy cesspools of disease. The baby technically only has to be there 24 hours, and im taking it home. Wifes on her own at the death center. Herpes will be riding bareback on cold viruses after inbreeding with mersa and riding through a puddle of c. Diff.

We don't currently know how many people have it but didn't get tested and as such isn't counted as an infected person. As we improve our testing ability, we'll find more cases which aren't hospitalization (and possible subsequent death) cases, pushing the rate lower. 2) Because we are testing more we'll also be able to tell that some of the cases that we aren't attributing to nCov are actually nCov cases, pushing the rate higher. Does that describe what you're saying?
