Sars Cov-2 positive rates in elective procedure patients........

Thought I’d share this. Although at my hospital we are 4 days into elective procedures. All elective procedure patients are required to have the virus nasal swab. Turnaround time is 45 min. So far, in these asymptomatic patients, approximately 11% have been positive. Take it FWIW, but I found it fairly surprising. Not a very hard hit area. Higher than I expected.

Taking into account up to 30% false negative I would guess more like 15% actual.

This is the viral RNA RT-PCR swab. Detecting the virus in one’s nasopharynx. I don’t have exact demographics, but suffice to say mostly older co-morbid patients (colonoscopies, spinal injections, elective heart caths, etc). We are located in fairly affluent zip code and referral base is mostly fairly nearby (not an inner city county hospital). The procedure is cancelled if positive.

This is very surprising! Here in Garland I have been doing antibody testing for 2 weeks now. I have a lot of people coming in every day thinking they have already had Covid-19. I have not had a single surprise result yet and I am using the Abbott labs IgG with a specificity of 99.5%. Lot of disappointed people for sure.

So I have been disappointed as I was hoping to find more people who were immune. It’s really good you are seeing such huge numbers maybe mine will start picking up soon. The only antibody tests we have had positive were people I already treated for Covid-19 previously.

I have not had a single surprise result yet

That remark is useless. How many positives? How many negatives? A surprise is a different result from expected. That could be positive or negative.

[RummyChick]

you can go ask him. he is on texags site and on facebook

[RummyChick]

btw, he was responding to the DR I posted who was getting surprised by the the no symptom patients coming in for elective surgery

his post makes sense to me

I have actually been cautious on zinc because zinc metalloproteases might be involved in TMPRSS2 upregulation which may be involved in the infection pathway: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5375694/ and https://www.pnas.org/content/117/13/7001 But it’s interesting that it helps with VWF clearance. So, wondering how to balance the two. Is the TMPRSS2 upregulation something to be concerned about with zinc?

If the test gives 30% false negatives, it’s trash, just like the ones that give you positives for other corona viruses as well as CCP-19. May even be the same garbage test. At that end of the spectrum I’d be more interested in the false positives number.

Until someone produces a solid study with a reliable test I’m staying with the stats from SK and DP as the only reliable, comprehensive data we have. If US testing catches up with the spread, maybe we can start using that data. Right now we don’t know how widely it has been spread by those proud FluBro spreaders.

the biochemist on the site says he doesnt trust any of the new antibody tests but if you are going to use one use one recommended by the CDC or EUA or something..I dont remember

You can’t get the flu from a flu shot. Some people have a reaction to the shot.

[RaceBannon]

I guess the point was, a full week ago, the death count was over 60,000

and in one day, it dropped to 37,000

now 48K or so?

"You can’t get the flu from a flu shot. Some people have a reaction to the shot."

I realized that we were talking about people getting sick after getting the Flu shot. The subject came up from that Plandemic Part 1 video. Dr. Judy Mikovits claim their is a 33% increase risk of catch Covid-19 if you got the flu shot. Debating what her angle is like selling books, not sure. Still researching the video, it appears they put a gain of truth to spin a conspiracy rabbit hole type documentary.

I do not think getting the flu shot makes the Covid-19 infection worst like Dr. Judy Mikovits tries to claims. It just increase your risk of catching it just after you get the flu shot. It is a temporary effect.

Some people are claiming the Flu shot can make the Covid-19 infection worst no matter the time period between the flu shot and Covid-19 infection. .

Below is research material on the subject. Let me know what you think, it nice having extra eyes on subject like this.
