BobbyPhil1781 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I doubt this strictly pertains to Seattle also. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(20)30223-6/fulltext# Interpretation The spread of COVID-19 in Wuhan and Seattle was far more extensive than initially reported. The virus likely spread for months in Wuhan before the lockdown. Given that COVID-19 appears to be overwhelmingly mild in children, our high estimate for symptomatic pediatric cases in Seattle suggests that there may have been thousands more mild cases at the time.

Of course I flaunted that study to my wife anytime she gave me crap about my 'natural intake'. She's a scientist, so it really grinds her gears, haha. Why not?

Shanedorf Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Learning more each day https://www.statnews.com/2020/08/12/after-covid19-mental-neurological-effects-smolder/ Early on, patients with both mild and severe Covid-19 say they can’t breathe. Now, after recovering from the infection, some of them say they can’t think. Even people who were never sick enough to go to a hospital, much less lie in an ICU bed with a ventilator, report feeling something as ill-defined as “Covid fog” or as frightening as numbed limbs. They’re unable to carry on with their lives, exhausted by crossing the street, fumbling for words, or laid low by depression, anxiety, or PTSD. “We would say that perhaps between 30% and 50% of people with an infection that has clinical manifestations are going to have some form of mental health issues,” said Teodor Postolache, professor of psychiatry at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. “That could be anxiety or depression but also nonspecific symptoms that include fatigue, sleep, and waking abnormalities, a general sense of not being at your best, not being fully recovered in terms of the abilities of performing academically, occupationally, potentially physically.” The mounting evidence for cognitive impairments post - COVID are just one more reason we need to take a cautious approach in dealing with this virus. And yes, even Nebraska football coaches use their brains from time to time. Edited August 13, 2020 by Shanedorf 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titansNvolsR#1 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Got a COVID swab test today for our work visa to get back. After they do the swab, they tell us it will be 10-14 DAYS before we get results. What in the hell? That's criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blahstoise Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 The Office for National Statistics in the United Kingdom has estimated that 6% of the population (3.4million) have had COVID-19 after an antibody survey. 13% in London and as little as 3% in some rural communities.

Xenos Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Please let this be true and not another system's error: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-08-13/coronavirus-transmission-is-stable-or-falling-in-much-of-california Quote Six weeks after California began re-closing swaths of the economy, there is cautious optimism that coronavirus transmission is heading downward, officials said. If it stays that way, the state may be on the cusp of curbing its second surge of the pandemic. The potential crest comes after Gov. Gavin Newsom’s speedy economic reopening in May and early June led to a near doubling of the weekly death toll over the spring tally. California’s cumulative pandemic death toll is now about 11,000, one of the worst disasters in the state’s modern history. But there are now several signs that Newsom’s second shutdown, which began in late June and broadened in early July, is finally having its intended effect. It can take three to five weeks to start seeing the health effects of stay-at-home orders, and six weeks have passed since much of the state was required to close bars and indoor dining rooms at restaurants, an order that was expanded to the rest of the state a month ago. Quote “We are turning the corner on this pandemic,” Newsom said Wednesday. The governor expressed optimism at the trend but resolved to avoid a reopening that repeated previous mistakes. Newsom, under pressure, began reopening businesses in late spring before his own benchmarks for a safer reopening were met. “The worst mistake we can make … is run the 90-yard dash, where we think we’ve got this and we walk away, and we revert back to the way things used to be,” Newsom said Wednesday. “And that’s why we have to be very cautious and very deliberative.” Newsom said that when the reopening of the economy does happen, it will be carried out “with much more focus, much more intention and more deliberative mindset” to educate people about how to diminish the spread of the disease. “We have to maintain our vigilance,” Newsom said, “and we’ll need a commensurate public awareness campaign and enforcement campaign.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
