Also they naturally aim for types that are more severe to put in the vaccine. So some years it's like the vaccine is totally ineffective against the flu that everyone gets but it's a very mild flu so it's a win anyways. They target specific things, and also only what they can actually target I assume this is what everuone got in Australia around April - July quote:2019-2020 trivalent flu shot will contain the following strains of the flu virus: But this is what the NSW Govt used so.... quote:The quadrivalent influenza vaccines for the Australian 2019 season contain the following four virus strains: A Grand Egg fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Feb 15, 2020 |

stephenthinkpad posted:How do this thing work? A pulse oximeter uses visible light (usually red) and infrared along with a light sensor to measure the ratio of oxygenated to deoxygenated hemoglobin in your blood. Regardless of why, if your SPO2 value drops below about 93% while at rest (it's normally 98% or higher in healthy people), it'd be prudent to get medical evaluation. The caveat is that SPO2 values are usually wrong for smokers, since smoking exposes you to carbon monoxide, which creates false high readings. (So will carbon monoxide leaks.) Having a pulse oximeter at home is a pretty decent idea if for no other reason than that you can periodically use it to check your pulse rate, and if your resting pulse rate has increased inexplicably, that probably warrants a medical evaluation, too. They're cheap, they're easy to use, they're useful in multiple situations, they don't hurt (though someone with circulation issues shouldn't use one for prolonged periods of time), and it's a medical diagnostic tool that's suitable for some basic decision making in a potential emergency.

Oh, the best way to protect yourself from the virus is to find someone who is infected and make out with them.

QuarkJets posted:Your inlaws have seasonal cold symptoms. They almost definitely don't have the novel coronavirus, you may as well be demanding that doctors test them for malaria. I don't understand why it would be ridiculous to test them after travel to a place where it is know the virus is spreading. Several large US cities are starting to test everyone with flu symptoms for coronavirus. Since we know that the virus is transmissable while incubating, I think people testing people with symptoms that have travel exposure (even if not to the hotspot) shouldn't be out of the question at all.

We also don't know that it's transmissable during incubation, the sole publication demonstrating that was discovered to have serious flaws, including that the case they reported as asymptomatic was actually symptomatic

So mass testing hasn't actually occurred anywhere, they're just picking which labs will perform the testing eventually. Cool, that's what I heard too

Doctors in five U.S. cities will begin testing patients with flu-like symptoms for the new coronavirus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. The coronavirus test will only be given to patients who test negative for the flu. So far, the testing protocol will be implemented in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Seattle, though more cities will be added. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/5-u-s-cities-start-testing-patients-flu-symptoms-coronavirus-n1136941

poverty goat posted:The data is inconclusive so let's err on the side of assuming it's no big deal Far from being inconclusive, the evidence strongly suggests that the virus does not spread asymptomatically, and the one publication suggesting otherwise turned out to be faulty. So we should err on the side of caution when it comes to being out in public because you really don't know who's symptomatic, but you probably shouldn't leap to the conclusion that your coughing relatives definitely have novel coronavirus because they were in the same state as an asymptomatic person, that's goofy agoraphobia nonsense

I said I thought it would be reasonable to test them after they tested negative for flu, which is exactly what major cities are doing for people without travel history. Your condescending tone is not matched by good reading skills.
