Obvious what is happening with AL cases. Notice the 65+ age group going flatter.

Update: I got a call from my dad last night. He is now symptomatic. I’m feeling fine. It’s been over 72 hours and still no temperature resurgence. I haven’t even used a fever reducer. I’m extremely grateful. I pray that everyone’s experience mirrors mine. Prepare yourselves. Infection is beginning to appear inevitable.

I’m confused. Didn’t you test negative for COVID?

The longer test was positive even though two rapid were negative. Which is interesting, I would likely lean to yes, he got it (would place it at 90%), but down the road I might take an antibodies test to hopefully confirm.

Enjoy your time on the beach if you can, Jimmy. I'd try to keep distance from anyone outside of your party but otherwise, enjoy your time.

I’ve had a mask on inside and outside the entire trip so far. I was told by a professional that new guidance is 72 hours temperature/symptom free. It’s been that long but I’m giving it another day or two.

Swab test Friday afternoon was positive. Rapid test Saturday morning was negative. Second rapid test Sunday morning was also negative.

Rapid tests being antibody tests that you used your blood with? Why would you expect to test positive with those? It takes a while for IgG to spike and even then, the accuracy of those tests are extremely poor.

From the you can't be ----ing serious department.

There's absolutely no way in hell we can deal w/ 2 global pandemics at once, Covid-19 is enough


“Flu strain with 'human pandemic potential' found in China Scientists and health officials are concerned about a new strain of influenza recently discovered in pigs that has the potential to infect humans. According to researchers, a number of workers from Chinese abattoirs and the swine industry exhibited signs of infection.”

The tests I used came straight from an inpatient rehab facility. They are professionally used to vet people before they check in.

While that’s true, rapid antibody tests aren’t all that reliable. I was curious about the timing of your tests, assuming they were 100% perfect at detection, it sounds like you took them a little too early given the timing of your positive nasal swab.

Interesting. I took the first test 24 hours after my worst day of sumptoms. Then I took the second test 48 hours after my worst day. I wonder how long I was asymptomatic before then? I feel like I’m between day 14 and 21 considering I have no symptoms.

My friend says you need to be careful. The pattern in her study is for a couple days of symptoms then 5 to 6 days of feeling good then 8 days in people starting getting worse again. So hopefully you stay a mild case and wont see that day 8 crash.
 
Just had a very long conversation with my friend doing the studies. She believes the drug she is using is helping tremendously.

She also says ventilators are no longer the course of action. She believes they added to deaths in NY and now that they understand that the death rates should be lower.

Basically the reason the people cant oxygenate is because of thousands of micro bloodclots that attack the lungs blocking gas exchange. Young people are being prescribed blood thinners because the clotting is so severe. She says the numbers they use to check for clots are at times 10xs higher than any she has ever seen.

She also said these clots can happen in the heart and they had a 27yr old with zero comorbidity die from it this week because of clots in his heart.
 
NC covid cases down for third consecutive day to 1,186, positive test rate down to 6%, ICU and hospital bed capacity both above 25%, and hospitalization rate flat for past seven days. All good signs in my book... hope those trends continue. ??
 
New York will see more cases and, in turn, hospitalizations as they've finally begun to open back up. It's inevitable since lock downs simply delay spread, not stop it.
