Where can one get this stuff?
I don't think COVID would have a direct effect on Vitamin D levels. It would have to alter cholesterol synthesis in the skin or cause massive liver damage.
google scholar and pubmed. Many relatively older articles are open access, but the newer ones in high tier journals cost money to access if you don't have access to a proxy run by someone with access.
There is also sci-hub
No bueno!
Assuming that they get tested at the same facility. That could be correct. Another large scale issue is the sharing of data between medical resources. Typically, government and private entities do not share data between one another. Not because they don't want to but because data conversion per system would be a logistical nightmare. If this data went to a standardized system that could allocate all the data I would be more comfortable but it doesn't.
Theoretically you could get tested at CVS, the local health department, and the local private hospital and yield 3 different positive test results. All three would report the positive test.
The FLDOH supposedly eliminates duplicates to avoid that happening.
I've also heard that they do it at the state level but I'm not sure they have the capability. They might be able to do that from other government sites (all use the same software and conversions as county) however, with the amount of privatized reports coming in(different software and conversions), there is no way that they convert all of that raw data. You would be talking about 1000's of different software setups with 1000's of different database structures.
At most that would give you accurate government to government numbers but that is also assuming they are all using the same software.
90% of the testing now done by Quest/LabCorp. I went to the hospital for a scan Tuesday and didn't have to take a blood test as they said they would access the results from Quest of a blood test I took the previous Wednesday (therefore within their 1 week requirement) even though at that time the results were not available. My Primary Care Physician,Gastroenterologist, Oncologist and the hospital all see all tests I have had done from all sources. I am sure that FLDOH uses a more modern (electronic) system than you think.
Doubtful, government approval for systems are at least years (probably 1-2 years) behind private companies. From an accuracy stand point, I would agree that private companies would probably the route to go just because available software. They don't need to meet approval requirements of government facilities.
Also, those labs subcontract to other labs in local areas that they aren't located in which causes data transfer. The more companies that are involved, the more likely that system or human error is occurring.
New record set here today 1230 new cases. 1025 yesterday. First time of consecutive days of 1000 +. 7 day average is 887. 58 deaths over the last 3 days.
Governor is probably going to shut down bars whose food sales are less than 50%, barbershops and salons etc....
FWIW my model had 54 deaths for the last 3 days. Hopefully the model is correct at 17 per day for the rest of the month (slight improvement).
I would like to see some Governor make masks mandatory, stop indoor dining and close bars but leave everything else open. That would really test the mask theory as indoor dining and bars are the only businesses that can't have 100% masks in an indoor environment. Add movie theaters to the list.
From the Sun Herald
"The state announced an additional 18 deaths Saturday, bringing the three-day total to 58.
Hospitalization numbers also set new records on Thursday with 855 patients with confirmed cases in hospitals. There were another 262 with suspected cases, bringing the total in hospitals to 1,117.
The number of COVID-19 patients in intensive care set a new high mark at 245. The total of patients requiring ventilators dropped seven to 125 in Thursday’s numbers.
There have been 39,797 cases and 1,308 deaths in Mississippi"
In other words.....18 people tested positive for covid while in the morgue and cause of death could be changed
Don't see where it said why the count was changed. Pure speculation on your part.
Florida currently has 9,114 hospitalized with Covid! Proportionately you are close to being in as bad a shape as Florida (7x population of Mississippi) in about a week.
ALL states are delayed in recording deaths. In Florida they reported 400 deaths the last 3 days but the dates of death for those people only include 104 for July 13-15th. The other 296 relate to earlier days in July and probably some in June. They do not include the deaths until the paperwork is in from the hospitals etc.,and verified. In many cases this takes 5-10 days and in some cases 2-3 weeks. That's why deaths are under-reported to date even for "confirmed cases".
Hence the need for refrigerator trucks to await confirmation from a Medical Examiner.
That post wasn't intended to be taken seriously.....
Well then tee hee
Broke what law? He said the person had Covid and died with it.
That’s the trick isn’t it.
He didn’t say they lied about the person having Covid.
