Nobody has better respect for intelligence than Donald Trump.

re: nursing facilities: a few weeks ago one of the medical higher ups at my grandparents' SNF mentioned to a doctor relative that there had been a COVID case at the facility. My relative mentioned this to a worker at the facility, who didn't know.

Fast forward to today when according to this worker, there are ~15 dead at the facility. This in stark contrast to the newsletter they're putting out. Now, this is supposed to be a good facility, and I have much respect for the nurses and staff who care for the elderly when families cannot (not informing them of a covid case is absolutely loving unacceptable), but, uh...

Came across this piece of news on a Taiwanese forum, a lot of number for the stat goons to look over.


https://m.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=780&t=6070231#pb

There is no news link so I will just translate it:

A Taiwans TV station interviewed the Wuhan vice mayor on Apr 15. He stated that since Wuhan had reopened for the last 7 days, the city had done nucleic acid tests on 226 thousand (random?) Wuhan residents, and found 130 asymptomic positive cases. There were also 143k tests organized by local companies, and had found 113 asymptomic positives. They also did random tests of the close contact members of these 243 positive cases, and had found 0 positives.

I don't know if this means the remaining virus inside Wuhan has evloved to be less infectious?

Social distancing is noticeably breaking down here in Southeast Massachusetts, parks are packed, so are target and other box stores, and my neighbors had a party w 20+ cars in their yard. I don't see myself living through this anymore.

look at it this way, the faster everyone but you gets it the sooner you get to stop doing social distancing!

the only downside is the millions of deaths

i don't think there's any evidence of any real mutations either worse or better. like yea there's over 150 nonsynomous mutations or something, probably lots more now, but fundamentally all the same with spike protein, lipid/capsid coating, attack on ace2 receptors, etc.

its frankly crack pinging me more than ever before that the President's random loving poo poo is affecting our day to day lives

like, if Trump says my state is one of the okay ones (even though it very clearly isn't because we aren't doing any widespread testing), our governor will absolutely follow his lead and so will the 200-person company my wife works for -- they'll instantly stop WFH and bring everyone back into the office.

No, it means they had about a 0.06% false positive rate.

Which is fine. From what I've seen of the tests, there are no false negatives but there are false positives.

So here in NZ the messaging for social distancing and isolating was a simple, clear term that people would be able to instantly understand, which was “bubbles”

So you, during lockdown, were to try as absolutely best you could, to Stay In Your Bubble (household, flat, etc)

Someone did this cool art of a bubble mixed with a NZ native bird

Despite the Ruby Princess clusterfuck, Australia is doing OK.

If people in NYC were dying from covid-19 at the same rate per million as people in Australia, NYC's death toll would be in the mid-20s. Conversely, if Australians were dying at the same rate as New Yorkers, our death toll to date would be over 30,000 instead of less than 100.

My governor who has so far been good about things (hands forces probably because Lily and IU went on extreme lockdown instantly and can do their own testing) announced coming changes to the shelter in place on the 20th, and once trump said that I immediately got worried

Indiana is outpacing Ohio last I checked, probably 500 deaths by now and we are like 2 weeks from projected peak IF WE DONT CHANGE ANYTHING lol.

Basically,

Covid19 is sugar ants

Your lungs are like day old stale bread. They will swarm initially. You can get rid of the ants eventually

Your kidneys however, are like a glazed jelly donut that got stepped on and is oozing jam. You're gonna have ants until you die

The raspberry jam filling is ANT2 protein, which is like covid19 crack, it's critical for reproduction of the virus

There's also a poo poo ton of ANT2 in your testicles, but your blood doesn't get filtered by your testicles, so we're ignoring that part for now

This scares me because I had covid, my pneumonia is going away nicely (its basically gone) but my heart rate hovers around 100-110 now. To be fair, I never measured my resting heart rate before i got sick so i dont know what my real base is, but my heart beat feels weird. I'm working with my PCP to maybe see a cardiologist if they're able to see it. I'm scared :(

On top of that, I have a small ache on my back mid side on the left that doesnt seen to go away, I hope its nothing else. Ugh poo poo sucks.

An addendum: the test is sensitive enough to detect single digit numbers of copies of the virus in the collection sample.

It's very easy to not take the collection sample right when you have to shove a stick into a person's nose and get it all the way back to get it right.

But, distinction without a difference. Saying false negatives exist is fair.
