Did it say whether they were Vit D deficient before getting the virus?
No. They weren't tracking the people prior to infection. My guess would be they were, as there hasn't been a suggestion that the virus causes Vit D deficiency.
Of course they keep testing patients. In fact they have to get 2 consecutive negatives to be "recovered". The subsequent positives are not shown as such (I.E. not additional case(s)).
The virus attacks the whole body.
Florida today - 79665 tests, 13,865 cases, 491 Hospitalization (new record and 7 day ave now 380 which sets a new record for the 15th straight day), 156 Deaths new record (7 day ave 95 which is a new record for the 8th straight day).
@Bankwalker 3,648 cases in the 55+ (26.5%)
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....
