I understand that, but I was talking about that particular brand which is being used by news outlets as a reporting medium. They’re only going off that one brand. It’s only going off the Kinsa Smart Thermometer. They’re home based (the majority).

Yeah, that’s why I said “if”. Nevertheless and notwithstanding your point, I’m hopeful that it really is an indication of social distancing doing its magic for not just the flu but also for COVID-19. It is about time we had some true good news in this thread and I’m cautiously hopeful.

Sounds like they have had pretty good success the past flu seasons. Sounds really promising.

At least one data point suggests social distancing is having its intended effect in Minnesota | MinnPost

A smart thermometer startup’s data for Hennepin County shows fevers falling below what would be expected for this time of year.

To follow up on me and my wife’s health. My wife is doing much better about 7 days fever free but my light cough is getting worse now. Can’t seem to shake it. Headaches coming back too. What in the hell. Starting to wonder if I’m starting to decline or if this evening has just been a blip.
 
NC latest as of last night.
1717 Cases
15 Deaths
200+ Hospitilized

To me the 200 Hospitilized out of 1717 cases known is alarming. The solace is we all know there has and currently is way more pos cases than 1717. Sadest story I heard was a Montgomery County Sheriff deputy 42 years young passed away from corona. Left behind a wife and 5 kids. They never said if he had an underlying condition or not.
Montgomery County is a very rural area. Alot of us on here live in rural areas, so we are not immune to this spread. Stay vigilant.

Did you or any of your family ever get tested? Contact your Doctor.
 
Glad to see a congressman from Florida calling for an investigation into the WHO. USA funds 15% of WHO budget, by far biggest contributor. WHO praising China all along back in Jan and Feb, when China made this seem way , way softer than it ever was. The WHO Point blank told the rest of the World that China was on top of this and those numbers where correct. The WHO was the onky outside source China would ket in.Turns out those numbers where well in excess of 10x greater across the world board at a minimum.

I work at a Publix, we do not distribute all the toilet paper onto the floor at once, We do it in batches to ensure we're not wiped out within minutes. Our stock has been getting better, but we're still lacking canned vegetables, bread, etc.. There was talk of truckers going on strike due to unfair conditions and hours, if that happens then we will undoubtedly run out of several items.

You guys keep in mind these canned veggies that where in whse. Once that stock is depleted,it will have to wait till harvest seasons catch up. Central america,Mexico,then florida on up is how it works. So prob see a lag.
On any given day under normal circumstances over 30% of American pop frequents a fast food resteraunt. So the demand for cooking at home,grocery store items has shot up significantly with all the resteraunts closed down. Changed the supply/ demand ratios

That Northampton County rate (while accurate) is very high but it is skewed, for lack of a better word, by the assisted living center there that reported 24 cases and 2 others may be related to that facility. Either way not good

Forsyth is at 57 and Davidson is at 44 now.
 
What's the chances of a post outbreak study using the antibody test to try and map out exactly what happened during this outbreak. We need to acquire as many facts and data that we can to try and understand this event to protect us in the future.

How would we pay for it and should everyone have the option to do the antibody test?

I hope there is and I would like to know. However, I don't think anyone should be forced to and I think there would be enough willing participants to get an accurate idea of the extent.

Good catch, and I remember you talking about it. One cluster in a county of only 20k population, and they now have the highest infection rate (by the numbers) in the state. Eeeeek.
 
This might be good news locally
