CoronaVirus

Rusty

The problem with this virus is. People have it and never have any symptoms. Others die from it. The study in Iceland shows that 50% have it and no symptoms. That's 50% of the people they tested. What about the rest of the people that they haven't tested. So until you get 100% tested. You will only can guess at the real numbers.

These people are protesting at the Statehouse in Ohio. They are spreading around something worse than corona: idiocy

I don't know how it is so hard to understand that you can spread the virus without showing any symptoms. It's the same reason why masks work, it prevents people from spreading the virus by accident.

We need shelter in place for many reasons. One of them is because we can't overwhelm the freaking hospital. We have x amount of hospital beds in the community. You overwhelm that and you are going to die in your own house. Idiots. It's a lot easier to go house to house to find the sick person rather than contact tracing in a giant community and find every person you have touched or spoken to.

This is what Germany is doing, that's why their death rate is so much lower. You test and you isolate since there is no f-ing treatment available. All the sick can do is lie in bed, some have to be on ventilator. Where are they going to find enough beds if people keep getting sick.

And that is 50% asymptomatic carriers

But Korea have been using Antibody testing at it is well known you retain certain antibodies after recovering. Question is whether these people are actually infected again

Not testing positive as in antibody positive test. Positive as in re-infected, with symptoms.

Makes me wonder if they were truly recovered in the first place.

Correct. Virus tests.

This is why antibody testing is still unclear / inconclusive.

WHO has said that there is no solid evidence as to whether or not you can be re-infected. Seems as though it is likely that you can.

Also, there have been asymptomatic cases that tested positive twice - 24 days apart. This is a virus test. So, were they infected twice or did they carry (therefore potentially contagious) for 3+ weeks (in which case the 2 week quarantine is insufficient). Two independent studies (though one is Chinese) from February have shown this. The WHO still believes these to be re-infections, hence they have not changed their guidance (yet).
