OzyMandrill posted:Nope. From the bbc: this is so incredibly, incredibly poo poo that I thought they must have misinterpreted the advice but nope, here it is it's stupid that you don't have to restart the clock if a second or third person develops symptoms, because it assumes that the first person definitely had coronavirus and passed it to the second and third ones when, without a positive test (lol), mum's and child 1's cough could have just been a normal cold or something and they could still be susceptible to infection from dad who actually does have it it's absolutely loving insane that someone who didn't develop symptoms during the initial 14-day isolation period doesn't restart the clock every time another person comes down with symptoms. What on earth is the rationale for that? they may have had an asymptomatic case or just as likely they just might not have caught it (or developed symptoms) yet, but either way they're potentially living with an infective covid patient. If they weren't living with a third person who had previously had a cough the advice would be to isolate, so what is it about someone else previously having had a cough that makes a difference? for the first one, yeah, on the balance of probabilities if multiple people living in close quarters come down with similar symptoms in quick succession then it might well ve the same bug getting passed around, but I can't think of any reason for assuming that just because someone didn't get infected by the first person in their household to have a bug they won't pick it up from the second or third person to have it also the advice is presented in a pretty confusing manner and I feel like I'm reading a badly translated boardgame rule book

they still haven't really told the general public about how you feel okay some days and then it comes back and you can be sick for far longer than 14 days or that it starts as 'mild' and you find out where the dice land about a week later

Yet that graph has been cited by my workplace as providing "clear guidance on the measures". The same workplace that is requiring people to come into the office and is threatening people who don't with redundancy.

I've had a persistent cough, temperature and aches and pains so I told work I need to self isolate for a week. The first question I got was, when are you getting tested for it? ARE THEY JUST WILLINGLY IGNORANT??

A lot of people are just assuming you will get tested for it because that is what would happen in a sane country with competent rulers. They continue to believe this until someone they know gets ill/dies and never gets tested.

When I phoned in a someone from work called me just to see if I'm okay and was like "Well I mean if you do have it you've given it to everyone already probably". Kind of makes me hope I don't actually have it and it's just an unrelated sickness tbh,

Z the IVth posted:There are reports of viral shedding for up to 37 days post-infection. yeah worth reiterating the median time for viral shed and infectivity to stop is 20 days aka 3 weeks the longest time recorded is about 40 days so a safe quarantine is 40 days. the word comes from quarantena from the black death period, which means 40 days (thanks HL: Alyx). ye olde people who thought disease were caused by smells took this stuff more seriously than us lol

It's bonkers. like I realise that there's probably some sort of attempt at compromise, if it was a big household which got unlucky with timings they could all be stuck inside for six months of something, but that seems like an edge case which even the limited amount of testing and support for vulnerable people we have atm could solve and also we're already telling all sorts of people that they must remain indoors for months I'm still in awe every day at how badly they've hosed everything up about the response to this

zentigeist posted:I already got that note! It was actually a lifesaver! It takes the piss a bit that so many people are realising how loving poo poo and badly organised their places of work are. Heard from a bunch of people about their managers unable to give any guidance as they are waiting from the higher-ups, who in turn are waiting for government advice that is vague enough that everyone should be at work right now this minute no slacking (whilst most of senior management work from home themselves) - like they are willing to risk killing employees and their families for the sake of clutching onto some early 20th century idea of what work is. Anyway, good luck with it! I found the symptoms got better then worse, my appetite totally went and I was either boiling hot or freezing cold. Lasted around 7 days for myself, but all the symptoms and everything seems unique for each person. I've had a funny twinge in my back ever since and wondering if I've pinched a nerve through coughing - but also can't do anything about it.

Yea my place of work is continuing to operate as normal it's pretty much as you're describing. Our site boss does daily tours around the office to check "morale" and keeps circulating emails about stuff he learned about working together from his army days haha. We've had so many emails saying basically "to protect jobs we have to keep working as normal", like they definitely don't treat it seriously at all and it's so risky. justcola posted:Anyway, good luck with it!

I Thanks a lot, just feel shattered and painful with an annoying cough so hopefully this is as bad as it gets! I'm not sure if it even is the rona but I just don't want to take any chances, there are people I work with who have vulnerable family members.

minema posted:which are not being recommended for routine use in covid patients because they potentially generate aerosols that can spray out the side of the mask This was a bit of a weird one in that a lot of the noise coming out of China was that both CPAP and NI-BiPAP were very useful in reducing need for intubation and improving mortality. Once it hit the UK this was completely absent from our management, in fact the advice stated to specifically not use either as there was a higher risk of healthcare staff getting sick due to aerosols and 'it is only useful as a bridge to intubation'. This last bit is true in general of pneumonias but clashed with what was reported from China, something which I never saw adequately explained. Now in the last couple of days there has been a huge U-turn on CPAP in particular and this is getting pushed a lot more heavily, with the faculty of intensive care medicine sending out an advisory letter that it was useful and that the guidelines were being updated. They say that early indications from China were it wasn't useful but this isn't my recollection at all. Very strange, but the CPAP machines made by the F1 teams will be very useful going forward.
