Absolutely. Regeneron is a tool I wish I had. If she can get it. Have it administered!!!
Thank you!
And really glad to hear of your vaccine experience. Very good to hear of the relief this brings to you. I can’t imagine the stress everyone in the medical field has been under
Doc, A question here, slightly OT, hope you don’t mind: Is there any data anywhere to estimate what percentage of all COVID-19 tests performed are being done on people who are symptomatic? Even better: What percentage of symptomatic tested persons turn out to be positive?
My wife, daughter, and I were all symptomatic (fever, fatigue, initially head-cold-like respiratory symptoms), so we all got tested for COVID-19 (esp. with my 90 y/o Mom to worry about as we do part time care for her). We all came back negative. In a few days we were all back to 80% or more “better”. (I had a long lingering chest cough - not exceptionally unusual for me.) I highly doubt we had COVID-19. Friends and acquaintances have had it go either way (more negatives than positives, but multiple “positive” friends and acquaintances have had serious or worse bouts with CV-19 and it’s complications, including several fatalities.) Of course, I think we would not likely hear as much / as often about those who were not significantly affected or were negative. “Bad news travels best.” — I’m sure that skews my personal observations.
Yet we have FReepers claiming any fever is counted as COVID. I say “B.S.”, but would like more than personal anecdotal, and perhaps inaccurately weighted, evidence to make the argument.
