For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

yesterday during the WH press brief, Dr Birx said the following:

quote:

I want to finish by really talking to my laboratory directors, because you’re extraordinary and you’ve done an amazing amount of testing. Those nearly 2 million tests that we’re getting to, those were all done in the last two to three weeks. But we do have ex- — excess capacity. So if all the lab directors could look in their laboratories, if they have an Abbott m2000, if they could get that up and running, we could double the number of tests that we’re doing per day. That is a high-throughput. The machines are throughout the United States. There’s hundreds of them. Right now, about 80 percent of them are idle. We’re going to have a call with the laboratory directors of these laboratories to really ensure that this is an automated, robotic situation that they can run.

There’s over a million tests sitting tests — test kits sitting ready to be run. We have five platforms of test. This is one of our really high-volume platforms, like Roche. And we’re really calling on them to really increase that capacity so that we can do not only increase diagnostic testing, which I think we’re doing quite well right now, but also increasing the ability to do more healthcare workers, first responders, community testing, and surveillance.

so what happens when the samples die on the swab waiting to be tested? do they leave behind traces that test positive or do they end up as false negatives after a certain period of time?

Beautiful tests, we've got so many tests we are sick of testing. Really tremendous tests. Anybody who wants a test gets a test - we have the tests and the tests are just really doing great. We've run so many tests other world leaders are calling me and asking me how we run so many tests and how our tests work so well. Just fantastic tests and the amount of tests - it's really tremendous.

what is/was the false positive rate in testing? is it possible that they didn't actually have it in the first place?

also could they form antibodies on reinfection? were these cases not severe enough to form them?

arent deaths caused by immune response in a lot of cases? doesn't that imply the formation of antibodies?
all the study says is “wow we found fewer antibodies than we expected in some younger patients”

it is a single study with a relatively small sample size that doesn’t analyze the clinical implications

everyone needs to chill

On a positive note, noted hellhole Ohio's modeling projections have been updated and it looks like a dramatic improvement. Peak expected mid-April for new cases at ~1600 new cases per day, compared to ~8000 new cases per day when I checked more recently.

https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/dashboards/forecast-model/

The unmitigated peak is the huge one that dwarfs the projected peak, and is what we could look forward to happening if/when the lockdown is hastily lifted:
