@Denmen185 You’ve really got me laughing now.
“Please explain why if there are 2 people in the same household where 1 tests positive 10 times and the other negative 10 times you believe that only 9% of 2 people have the virus (1/11 tests - due to 1 positive and 10 negatives)”
What a silly question. Please explain to me why you think someone would be tested 10 times without ever testing positive. If you test negative, they don’t just continually keep testing you. There is probably a small sampling of people who have been tested multiple times without ever testing positive, but it’s probably less than the numbers left out by those laboratories you said wouldn’t move the needle. I actually met someone yesterday who has been tested 3 times, all negative. She works in a lab handing samples. Tested in Feb, April, and June because she has respiratory symptoms. 29 years old. I’m concerned she has something seriously wrong with her that is being overlooked because of the focus on this one time event.
“BTW they are not my numbers, they are numbers from the source you quote.”
Actually, they ARE your numbers. First of all, the CFR you calculated using your own assumptions on lag time for deaths. 20 and 30 days are not time periods being published by any major health organization. You are also calculating your own pos% different than the one FDOH provides, despite the fact FDOH is providing a statistic claiming to be the same group. I see how you are getting your numbers, but that’s not the point. If FDOH is publishing one statistic that is suspect (you called it misleading) then all of their statistics in the same report are suspect. That is especially true given the wonky nature of how they calculate and report the full body of test results. Does the below chart make sense to you? What it claims is pretty clear.
Do you think all states calculate the above number the same way, or just Florida? Are we being lied to by every state, or just Florida? What is the purpose of FDOH reporting the above statistics for public use if incorrect?
Nobody suggested to my wife that she continue being tested after being negative. Instead she was simply given amoxicillin for the sinus infection she likely developed from unnecessarily wearing a mask. Started feeling better right away.
BTW, I’m all in favor of your higher test rate. The sooner the better we can get everyone infected. For most people it is nothing but a common cold.
Friends of the family who live in middle Ga shared their story with us yesterday: A couple of weeks ago, this couple was showing mild symptoms, so they decided to have themselves tested. They’re in their mid-50s and have no underlying health issues. They decided to go to a clinic and filled out all of the necessary paperwork and gave It to the receptionist. They then waited in their vehicles for the swab. An hour and a half passed without ever receiving the test, so they decided to leave due to the incredible inconvenience. Last week they received a call from the physician’s office and they were told that their COVID test came back positive.
Again, why is this only happening now? In the past testing stopped because we knew it was an epidemic and knew what protocol to follow. Everyone knows it is there and what to do, not everyone is doing what needs to be done, but posting numbers everyday doesn't change it. If you want to se the numbers go to a site and look them up. Why is the media posting them everyday this time but not in the past? Only causing more divisiveness where people are calling out governors of red and blue states based on their numbers. Like you said no reason to keep testing with H1N1 we knew what it was and what to do.
Unbelievable...I heard the exact same story from a family friend I know. Reminds me I need to check on where he got with his whistleblowing. Is this couple demanding answers? Reporting to local news?
My son had a group of his friends become symptomatic. My son was only achy and went to be tested and was told he had a fever of 100.6. He got results in 3 days and was positive. As was most of his friends. One friend scheduled a test at an Urgent Care clinic but never went because his parents told him you have symptoms just isolate for 14 days why go in and risk passing it to someone. He got positive results in 3 days but never went to the appointment. When they questioned them, they were told sorry the email was meant for someone else.
Relax, These are all isolated incidents and should be ignored. Back to the fields! ....BAAAAA
(Please allow Bum one humorous post?)
This^^^^^...I’m not saying COVID isn’t serious, it is, but IMO, hysterical reactions and creating a financial incentive for particular results is a prescription for inaccuracies and more hysteria.
Second day of being sick, woke up this morning and it hit me in the face today. Fever increased and I feel 100 lbs heavier than normal. I cough and my whole body hurts. Not fun to say the least.
Hang in there...pretend it’s a Gator and kick it’s a.s.s.!
Hang in there and if you haven’t already done so, I encourage you to contact your doctor. From what I’ve been reading it seems early intervention is the key.
I don’t do doctors really unless I feel like I’m gonna die. I mean I feel bad but I’ve had the flu before and it was a little worse. I’ve been doing the natural approach, high vitamin C Intake, fresh ginger shots, lots of echinacea. If it worsens I will think about getting it looked at.
Healthy 33 yo male, workout 7 days a week. I usually do the wait it out approach but we’ll see.
Good for you. I am actually the same way.
Since you seem to be into herbals, I can tell you that turmeric curcumin is really good for inflammation. I have that on hand just in case. The treatment in the hospital is dexamethasone, which is also for inflammation. Zinc also seems to be playing a big role in a lot of studies. Glutathione levels are another. You can take in N acetylcisteine to promote glutathione production
If you’ve been reading the thread then you are also aware of the suggested link with vitamin D deficiency.
I shouldn’t make assumptions. I thought Mia was for a female. LOL. Sorry just think that’s funny I thought that for whatever reason.
😂 I’m in the epicenter Miami Dade . It was bound to happen. I have some turmeric gonna get my hands on some zinc as well.
I was told by some on here to not be concerned....isolated instance.....covid 19 reporting is the one data collection area that our bureaucracy has done a very accurate job with. /s
Florida update - 10347 cases from 49465 first time tests reported to CDC. The new hospitalizations were 292 and 90 more resident deaths were reported. The 7 day average for deaths were a new record at 114.
