The Jimmie Johnson case exposes the problems with testing including the antibody test
It is quite possible that the issue with the guy in the hospital is with the test and/or that he produced very little antibodies and/or what he did produce disappeared
They are still studying all of that
You could have had all the symptoms in January. Test Negative for antibodies in July..and still cant conclusively say with certainty that you didnt have it.
The other thing they are looking at is whether you can get Covid and not test positive or have antibodies because your T cells fought it off.
the biochemist on Texags site works for a company involved with all aspects of Covid. His company is very cautious on when they will release an antibody test. the biochemist said...awhile back..he didnt trust any of the current ones.
Rosebud ...
Unless I misunderstood your sentiment, you made a list of leftist issues to solve.
Actually we do not what’s going to happen with a range of statistics. Most everyone, including old and sick have no to mild symptoms. Most everyone who gets it doesn’t die.
As early November approaches, the panic peddlers will be ramping up the hysteria tenfold.
The party was avoidable getting exposed to the virus is not unless you quarantine and isolate for the rest of your life.
Going to the party to deliberately get infected simply speeds up the inevitable.
It isn’t stupid. You will be exposed sooner or later. Most likely not g bad will happen. A flu party is a perfect political statement.
Had to be a sarcasm post. No FReeper is that damn stupid.
alrighty then...head to a Covid party and get it over with
Sure, it does happen. It just didn't happen in this case, where the head of a hospital--who gets paid a $30,000 bounty if someone is recorded as dying of the WuFlu--tells an unverifiable "last regrets" story of someone, yet can't competently describe the alleged victim's sex. That's one helluva witness you are, lady.
(What's with "they"? Did the patient have lice from your hospital's sheets and they all died together?)
What a crappy piece of journalism. None of this can be corroborated.
“A flu party is a perfect political statement”
Yes, when you want to do your part in spreading the panic.
And *lots* of diabetes in the 20-30 group.
Even if you get it and survive, it can screw you up. I’m 80% certain I had it in January, all the symptoms (still trying to get an antibody test, though). Sheer hell for three days, felt beat-up for another four, but- I went from doing half marathons and kettlebell get-ups and squats with decent weights for a 58 year old to being winded at 4 miles and tying at a bodyweight squat or mere 35lb kettlebell get-up.
Damned chicom bug not only killed my sister (84, in an assisted care facility) but aged me 25 years.
Saying “It’s just the flue” is like saying “It’t just a 158 grain piece of metal”.
“Unfortunately we had this plague sent in from China.”
Donald Trump. Exact quote
I still think there is a mystery element to this virus and certain things trigger it in people to become very very severe.
I also wonder about weed smoking.....or other things....maybe even vaping....
It’s what has me confused.
Given that this damnable virus is either created or merely noticed and harvested from the wild, I have not understood the attitude of otherwise intelligent, patriotic, and generally badass patriots towards minimizing this.
It’s war, and masks are like helmets of flack jackets- not going to do you that much good against a sniper’s kill shot or tank round, or tactical nuke, but they will slightly lower the risk (albeit to people around you, but same net gain in a case of war, which the Chicoms have been at with us since 1949).
If Qaida had let loos a bioengineered virus in 2002, we’d damned well be masking up, social distancing, and treating like the act of war which it is.
reasonable protocols should have been implemented from the git go....
Then masks, many many years ago, should have been implemented because of influenza, especially in the school systems.
I got winded just reading your post.
Imagine if someone not in your shape got the same exact viral load that you got.
You could just assume you had it and try to get the most reliable antibody test you can get.
Someone here got a dose coughed on him in the eye back in November or December. Has permanent eye damage. The last time I saw his post he hadnt taken the antibody test but did find out there were students from Wuhan at the event. So the Asians who coughed on him from behind as he turned his head might have had it.
