No loss of taste or smell.
I’ll take D.
“...How is it possible I have had no exposure?...”
-
Simply because you are one of the 99% of people
in the State of New Jersey who do not have the virus.
(New Jersey total cases = 14,348 / 1,000,000)
hi. your welcome. my background: engineer, medical instruments, retired.
more importantly my wife’s background: clinical lab scientist, virology.
God has told us that our days are written in the Book. It was his time to go home to be with the Lord our God and Savior. I is just not your time
If I have to choose just one, I'm going with:
"c. this virus is not as infectious as the fear mongers want us to believe"
Hypothetically, if a person started having symptoms 8 weeks ago and recovered over a 2 week period, would anti bodies show up if they take this blood test?
Should be It is not your time.
The test is only 80% accurate.......
I don’t believe the tests are 100% accurate. Broadway actor Nick Cordero had his leg amputated due to complications (toxic shock and blood clots), allegedly brought on by the virus. But his wife said they tested him twice, and he was negative both times. It wasn’t until the third test that he tested positive for the virus. Third time must be the charm. Color me skeptical of the test kits available.
exposed does NOT equal acquired
Let me ask it another way, why do some years certain people NOT get the flu?
I know, because I don’t.
It’s not that I take the Flu Vaccine.
It’s because I keep my Zinc and Vitamin D levels up, eat right, and get plenty of fluids. Around me people are getting colds and the flu.....been doing this for years after I got tired of getting sick.
It would be to the advantage of Big Pharma to have as many test negative as possible so they remain candidates for the future vaccine.
Scientists link vitamin D deficiencies to higher COVID-19 mortality rates
I believe I had it end of March. It started with severe headaches and felt like a truck on my chest and then had a fever of about 99.9 off and on. Then I had heart palpitations, a flutter off and on I could feel. The headaches and chest heaviness was about 5 days with a temp only lasting 24hrs. I didn’t take anything. I was tired, but not extremely tired.
I woke up on 6th day and heaviness and headaches were gone.
Just weird, was it a bug or Corona?
Won’t know until I can get tested at some point.
When did your close contact become asymptomatic? If it was >2 days after your encounter, you should not expect infection (per the prevailing narrative).
Don’t you have to wait a while after exposure, at least a couple of weeks, for the antibodies to increase to levels that can be quanitified?
Some folks who’ve been exposed might be getting tested too soon.
Yes, a strong immune system is also important. So is the total viral load. Take in a lot at once and your immune system won’t hold up. But take in a smaller load of virus or a weakened strain, and you may overcome it.
One of my kids worked in an executive training program for an airline at JFK thru mid March and processed passengers from China and Italy. One of her associates on the training program doing similar work died from COVID.
Another one of my kids worked in the medical device industry and took numerous flights and transversed numerous hospitals thru mid March.
Both came up negative.
Sorry, I failed to read what you posted carefully (nasal swab or antibody test).
Could be the test providing a false negative.
Maybe not everyone is susceptible to contracting the disease (for some yet unknown reason), which would be a new factor in achieving herd immunity (added to those with antibodies).
