Not sure, but I’d guess sometime in the next month or so. Rapid (< 1 hour) testing for acute infection is just scaling up, but there are limited reagents to perform the assays. I’ve not heard as much about rapid antibody tests for exposure/resolved infection.
Thanks. Through a combination of donations, mask sterilization and curtailing new cases, our hospital is back on track with PPE.
Saying those that want to save lives really just want to sabotage the economy is as bad as saying those that want to save the economy just want to see people die.
I don't think anybody here was saying it, though. He's talking about Fox News, Politician Spock. Not a poster here.
I'd guess you can get droplets on your hands when walking about if some one coughed, your hands can move droplets to your eyes etc
The answer to that could be political.
Two things to be wary of
This would make for a great Freakeconomics type book after this is past us.
No and there won’t be. We didn’t have much of a plan going in and we won’t have much of one going out but it will happen sooner than later.
The bolded is about the best we’re going. Certainly we will have compiled a much larger database to draw conclusions from and from what I’m seeing, and this is just me playing armchair QB, there will probably be a couple groups of people that will be targeted:
Remember when this really kicked off here and our testing numbers were abysmally low compared to total population? Sound familiar? The difference is we have arguably the best health care facilities in the world and most people don’t live in abject poverty. I think the US is turning the tide to avoid a disaster, not sure India can do that. You have to think that country is rife with the virus. I think Fauci said yesterday, the virus was here in February brought to us from China and Europe, we just didn’t know it. I can’t see India not have the same experience right now.
From my post 300 pages ago:
And 24% of the population is under 18. While many of those risk factors overlap, the percentage of the adult population without any risk factors isn't great. Can we restart society with only ~20% of adults?
We dont know what level of hypertension. I highly doubt the people dying are commonly in the 131/80 category. And that is how low we need to go to get to 45%.
To get the 45% figure you have to move the threshold to 130/80.
Germany traced the infection of patient zero to patient one via passing a salt shaker in the company canteen.
we rolled it out yesterday- today was he first real day of getting results <1 hr. Cleaned up our admission process a lot for pt’s coming in theu ER. we aren’t admitting everyone as rule-out COVID anymore
So far as I know, the annual flu vaccine IS a multi-strain vaccine. But as Nathan Jessep pointed out last night, there are many more than two strains. Plus, strains of the flu change frequently. More reading below ( look under ‘Manufacturing ‘):
Would add that the CFR in Germany is just over 2%. This would imply that the country arguably doing the best contact tracing has let 80% of the infected slip thru the cracks.
How could they rule out either the two hands touching during the passing or anything being transferred through a small cough, etc?
Just like forbearance, I'd demand all the back rent from those chains. I would respond to them as such that they are allowed to delay their rent payments but are expected to pay the full amount owed.
They talked to both parties. Apparently they were sitting at different tables with their backs to each other and one asked for a saltshaker from the other table.
Non-profits getting slammed hard. My daughter works for the national call center of the Alzheimer's Association. They're facing a multi-million dollar shortfall. CEO and other execs are cutting their salaries, and quite a number of staff are being let go or at least furloughed. (Daughter's area has been reduced by 28 and counting; she's held on and been assigned new hours.)
I wouldnt think poop weighing is an exact science. Frankly, estimation is not an exact science ever.
2/3 of my office is over 50. Fortunately we have the ability to work from home, but if that weren’t the case our office wouldn’t be able to function.
Not trying to be political, but this is capitalism as we have allowed it to grow and morph. Capitalism serves the shareholders, not the common good.

Honestly having been to Germany and working with Germans daily, I believe this 100%. They are a different breed.
Their numbers match up with ours almost identically in the early going. It's not dumb luck that ours have spiraled out of control while theirs have been pretty well contained.
My thought is all over the place deaths are understated. Too many people in every country at every level of government are too invested in the numbers being lower IMO.
And hasn't it bee seen that Dewine did a pretty good job and was quick to react to a lot of this (obviously don't want to get too political on this...seems I have read good things about him). EDIT: I see several have commented that he has been doing well. Good to know.
at people gathering like that.
Thanks for posting. I guess I don't understand the "we can never do this, we're Americans!" argument against what it's going to take via testing and surveillance. If that's what we have to do, then that's what we do. When the alternative is millions of deaths or indefinite stay at home orders, it's baffling that people are like "I just can't see us doing this". F that! Download the app and ramp up the tests. Let's do this.
We're being told that we're doing more testing than anywhere else in the world. Makes sense that more tests = more "provable" cases
