Coronavirus
Researchers in Germany used estimates of COVID-19 mortality and time until death from a recent study to test the quality of records. Their results show on average only 6% of actual SARS-CoV-2 infections detected worldwide: Germany has detected an estimated 15.6% of infections compared to only 3.5% in Italy or 1.7% in Spain. Detection rates are even lower in the United States (1.6%) and the United Kingdom (1.2%)
https://www.sciencedaily.com/rel…
First results from a large scale randomised serological test (lab antibody testing) in Germany should be released today:
https://www.facebook.com/hbergpr…
Will me interesting to find out how the serological test results compare to the first paper's numbers...
- https://edition.cnn.…
Half of corona carriers do not know it and dont bother to testdrgs - ^ other studies i've seen say 4 in 5 untested the first study i posted demonstrates it could be as high as 3 in 250 (in the UK) the serology tests in germanykingsteven
- (best testing in europe) are expected to be at least 1 in 3kingsteven
- another study in italy exclusively of 60 healthcare workers that didn't believe they had covid-19 showed that 40 of them actually did (the active virus)kingsteven
- the first study is speculative but as its working with deaths/ not cases the numbers should remain relative between countries (even if they're proved to be off)kingsteven
- Good for Germany, they must be the first to actually do the serological testing?yuekit
- so these numbers point to an overall mortality rate of less that .5% no?_niko
- around .3% ... given that the worst report from Italy was 1.8% CFR of a town with confirmed 70% infection it seems unlikely to be that low but then again thekingsteven
- demographics may not have been in their favour.kingsteven
- there's a few places doing it atm yuekit, but the german study is the biggest so far and i think its lab testing, not the pin-prick antibody test kits.kingsteven
- Germany are being advised by one of the best virology experts in the world (who discovered SARS) ...Krassy
- ... and his input has really helped combat the pandemic and has helped shape a proactive sensible approachKrassy
- ...Christian Drosten:
https://www.ndr.de/n…Krassy - If they are right about this, I guess it would put the number of infected somewhere between the Imperial and Oxford studies?yuekit
- But if they are right, what would the implication be? It would mean several million infected in the U.K. and tens of millions in the U.S.yuekit
- How could you ever hope to control/contain something that has spread that widely? It makes the current measures seem somewhat futile.yuekit
- i get the feeling this german study, like the oxford is about introducing theoretically valid high counts to emphasise the importance of mass antibody testing.kingsteven
- it has good implications in a lower CFR but bad in that it could be used to validate lifting of distancing measures to facilitate herd immunity...kingsteven
- ie. validate the idea that even the current death count is based on a 'bank' of high-risk individuals. or the idea of a 'reasonable' death ratekingsteven
- I have a friend in New York who has tried to get tested 3 times. His fever is not high enough. Lots of people turned away.BH26

The W.H.O. really blew it. For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China centric. We will be giving that a good look. Fortunately I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?
this is from the cheerleader
so the W.H.0 said its a hoax?

- The WHO reviewed its position on masks in light of data from Hong Kong indicating that their widespread use in the community may have reduced the spread...kingsteven

Quarantine of the Day
my mother told me on the phone yesterday a cousin is in hospital after falling off a ladder fixing up his house while on lockdown, looks like he's gonna be stuck in there for a few weeks with no visitors and so far today i've already nearly taken my finger off putting new line in the garden strimmer (turns out it's fuckered) and just nearly dropped a huge knife on my foot.
stay safe in there!

Fuck... I've been paying attention but maybe I haven't looked at the info out of NYC too closely (maybe as a result of my intentionally avoiding the news during the day, but somehow I had no idea NYC's deaths were already over 3,000, and that 599 died yesterday.
And they're rapidly approaching the day of peak death with like 2,000 deaths or so in a single day? (I heard that a couple days ago).
Man, that makes me feel lightheaded. We've had only about 307 deaths total in Illinois.
- Wait, wait wait. Your news blackout was supposed to start yesterday man.webazoot
- By comparison, about 3000 people die of pneumonia a week in the USA. And about 400 a week by the flu.robotron3k
