Can't be too vigilant, true. I hoarded some food in February. The only thing I didn't do is buy gold or commodities , we don't know yet how bad inflation gets.
my research lol There have been few with fever but no cough (about 5%) but no cough without fever. Fever showed on almost everyone. 99%. Mind you these published studies are on people who later went on to develop more severe symptomatology- I haven't seen any study on mild cases. It sounds to me that you did have a low fever. However whatever it is , while going outside you must treat youself like you haven't had it and take all measures of precaution. In 1-2 months from now you will have access to an antibody test and you will be able to tell if you hit the jackpot and you are immune but in the meantime keep taking all precautions. But If you live with other people in the household if possible keep some distance especially if there is an elder in the family. Though at this point if you had it, it's unfortunately very possible already that they already had it too.
ehmm this is called exponential growth. Whatever is the real % of infected in Sweden, most of them got infected yesterday, and the vast majority of people got infected in the last days. The hospital admissions and the deaths can only show us what was happening in Sweden 15-21 days ago when the % was much lower than what it is now.
So I found more information on the german Heinsberg study. Stupid me believed that it was funded by the Robert Koch Institute, a prestigious uni or the german government. But no...it was funded by a media company that follows scientists on social media. In fact it seems the only reason that scientist hurried and went to the press was to secure funding from the german government - he got it 60k euro. Why is this important? First he hasn't finished the testing. Secondly he hasn't published anything. Thirdly and most important, what kind of antibody tests he got his hands on through a small social media company? Most likely the cheapest chinese ones, that have very low sensitivity and have shown to confuse immunity of other human corona viruses - the common cold.. Good idea of a study, but if he used these tests all his resutls are faulty.
“I went to Yale and I worked for the New York Times, the people on the left hold themselves out as being science-driven, as being smarter, they think they're smarter but they won’t look at facts that won’t meet their narratives,” he said. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ex-nyt-reporter-challenging-the-coronavirus-narrative
Based on case fatality rate, probably at least in some areas. I like to compare Sweden to Denmark and Norway since they are close to each other and have similar cultures. Sweden's case fatality is now at 9% (way way above avg). Denmark at 4% and Norway at 1.5%. Looking at other trends, you can start to see the clear difference between a restricted and soft approach. Sweden, Denmark, Norway started around the same - 1 death on 3/15. Today Sweden has 870 dead, Denmark 247 and Norway 92. Sweden is on the path of doubling the number of dead every 5 days. If that trend continues, they will have over 10k dead in 3-4wks. The number of positive cases isn't as accurate, but both Norway and Denmark have started to flatten while Sweden is on an accelerated upward path. On 2/27, they all have 1 confirmed case. On 4/1, Denmark has ~3k while Sweden and Norway have ~4k. Today, Sweden has close to 10k cases, while both Norway and Denmark has around 6k cases. If this trend continues, Sweden probably has 80k cases in 3 weeks. Sweden is now considering tightening up while Norway has already started to slowly relax their restrictions.
"In February I was worried about the virus. By mid-March I was more scared about the economy. But now I’m starting to get genuinely nervous," he tweeted this week. "This isn’t complicated. The models don’t work. The hospitals are empty. WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT INDEFINITE LOCKDOWNS?" Why does Fox News even take this guy seriously? Maybe because they for weeks said this was basically a hoax. BTW, no one is talking about indefinite lockdown. People are talking about how to slowly transition back to normal, and many have concerns that there is no "slow" or plan.
Following up on this my understanding is that you can have Coronavirus but not have all the symptoms. When it progresses to the disease COVID 19 respiratory symptoms are the most prominent and the most worrisome. You might have an infect that hits another part of your body but it won't kill or harm you that much unless it gets into your lungs. This winter was already a bad flu season and the flu can cause some severe symptoms that aren't respiratory. I was laid flat for a couple of days in early February with headaches, dizziness, and fever but my respiratory functions were fine. I lost my appetite but never lost my sense of smell or taste. That is the flu and not likely Coronavirus. If it was certainly not the kind that we're worried about that requires oxygen or a ventilator.
Sneezing and watery eyes, eye irritations are 100% no symptoms of Covid. However, dizziness and major headaches could be a sign of infection. Even motor disorders.
Sure - but if you believe that and the R0 factor you claimed, Sweden could easily get to 80% before bodies are lining the streets, given that bodies won't happen until 14 days later and this thing is spreading so fast. If you think the majority of the 15% got infected in the last few days, how many days do you think it would take to get to 80%?
There might be some edible food in the dumpster behind HEB, but I'm not going to dig through the garbage to find it when there are much better options. And I'm certainly not going to give HEB money for the privilege of doing so.
Try to tune out the preachy dramatic air of this video, it has a lot of great info on the root cause of all of the pandemics in recent history.
May i recommend martha maccallum and shannon bream? They are sound as a pound. 6pm and 10pm cst on weekdays
Only Kansas is worse. 30% false negative. Who is willing to wait 6 hrs to get a test? How many missed? Texas is second-worst in the nation for COVID-19 testing
