Tell me more.....

Can you tell us about testing? I'm assuming that your known exposure was the qualifier.
I had the identical symptoms in early March and have wondered if I may have had CV. Low grade fever, coughing, throat pain (moreso than soar throat), coughing, extreme fatigue. My neighbors, my wife (no pics), and one of my children had same symptoms.

This is the type of shite everyone is worried about. No symptoms for 9 days!
Who knows- he could’ve caught it from a door handle or grocery cart 7 days later, right? Or his wife had it from some totally random spot and never showed symptoms.
That’s also part of the problem in tracing this with such large asymptomatic windows.

Congrats. You are the 99%

Dude, Acadiana, NOLA is overrun. Of course it is uneven statewide

Not trying to throw fuel on the fire, but many of the early tests especially were made to err on the side of negative as opposed to positive. If you had it and it’s out of your system then it would show negative.
It won’t surprise me at all if it comes out a lot of people that tested negative had it in a very minor case. But the 80% negative test results also goes to show how crazy most people are in believing they have something.

why a zpack? Isn't the infection viral? What does the antibiotic do?
One of the things that makes corona distinct from cold and flu is the response it invokes in the deep lungs.
Long story short it makes a soup of mucus and damaged cells that make it easy for a bacterial secondary infection to start. The antibiotics help prevent that.

Frankly, my main symptom was fatigue for six days
I’ve had allergies all my life. Never had a fever as a symptom or fatigue unless the symptoms were keeping me awake.

Allergies don't give you a fever.

So we are not out of ventilators like you previously stated. NOLA isnt either.

And we continue to make our case for more based on the modeling that we have that indicates that as soon as April the 7, we could exceed our capacity for ventilators here.

No they weren’t....why you make that up?
The early tests that gave false negatives was because they were fricked up. And it’s why they had built in control tests to identify the bad tests. If the viral RNA was on the swab, there’s your positive test. Severity of symptoms not a factor.

Yes, it only tested for active infection, not on the past. So that’s not an error, you didn’t have it at that time.

It’s not even considered a fever until 100.4 (38.0 C) degrees. Dude hit 100.5 once

Look at the frickin stats from the state, we are beyond ventilators available a few days ago
Is there am aggregated data set showing the actual overrunness figures nationwide? You know, the one plugged into the models we are using to try to turn our nation into a third-world country?
I just want to make sure I'm analyzing the overrunness risk v. economic models coming out that include thousands of laid-off health care workers and such.
Do you know if the overrun hospitals are all in NYC/NJ, NO and DET? Or are the hospitals in the remaining areas that include 300 million Americans also overrun.
I just need a baseline of overrunness so that I can extrapolate it out using growth rate and morbidity metrics.
Oh I also would appreciate a detailed full data set of the top 5 comorbidities. TIA

Yes, they were:
False negative article

I didn’t say false negatives didn’t exist.
I said the bullshite that “many of the early tests especially were made to err on the side of negative as opposed to positive” was wrong and your attached link says nothing to support that.
Considering the blurb came out today, it also indicates nothing about the “early tests”

Unless tested, likely not.
Some doctors believe 1/3 of the people that tested negative actually had it. Which, of course, would skew the numbers towards it being less deadly among those infected.

I can go all day. I’m not a doctor, but this has been discussed ad nauseum:
WSJ article
There was also a lot of discussion about those administering the tests potentially not swabbing deep enough and therefore not getting enough of the virus. Again I’m no doctor so can’t comment on that.
