Coronavirus


Joining the hosts of This Week in Virology in July, Fauci directly responded to a question about COVID-19 testing, specifically how patients with positive tests might determine whether or not they are actually infectious and need to quarantine.

“What is now sort of evolving into a bit of a standard,” Fauci said, is that “if you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more … the chances of it being replication-confident are minuscule.”

“It’s very frustrating for the patients as well as for the physicians,” he continued, when “somebody comes in, and they repeat their PCR, and it’s like [a] 37 cycle threshold, but you almost never can culture virus from a 37 threshold cycle.”

So, I think if somebody does come in with 37, 38, even 36, you got to say, you know, it’s just dead nucleotides, period.”

Like I've said multiple times, PCR lets you find the needle in a haystack and unless extremely-well documented, a PCR positive on Cycle "X" for any disease has no defined infectivity associated with it. The infectious dose for COVID-19 will likely vary by variant and differ between unvaccinated, semi-vaccinated (1 dose of Pfizer or Moderna), and fully vaccinated people.

All that being said, as Fauci said, 35 Cycles or greater COVID-19 positive results, probably have little value in determining if a person is infected/and or infectious to others or not. Many assays, but not yet COVID-19, have "Gray Areas" where a retest is required 2 to 3 days after the initial Gray Area result. Actually surprised that this hasn't been specified for COVID-19 yet, but guessing that during the early days, the testing demand far outstripped test availability.
 
So once again it’s all Mumbai jumbo
And spin
With little idea as to how many are and we’re infected
Little to no idea if you are currently infected and
Little to no idea of the actual hospitalization or death rate percentages

The only thing we know for sure is
It’s a close cousin to the flu and common cold and one day it will blend itself in with those seasonal illness

yet we still run around like the sky is falling

chicken little calm the Fck down
 
So once again it’s all Mumbai jumbo
Might want to override spell check when it replaces mumbo w/Mumbai. I constantly have to tell Siri not to do that...

And that techno mumbo jumbo, as a former, non-technical boss would say, is why this is a Kids, don't try this at home event or you have people drinking Clorox per the suggestion of someone who didn't, and still doesn't, have a clue...
 
Yes that spell checks a biatch
And worse for me because I pay little to no attention to spelling or grammar

never use voice commands for anything

sorry but the Mumbai jumbi
Is in the lack of real solid numbers
Yea we know how many were hospitalized
And how many died
But those numbers simply are not enough
Without thst pesky denominator
After so long
We know so little
We’re doing so much damage to every area of our lives
All for nought

when it’s over
We will still be suffering for decades in its aftermath as we’ve allowed the cure or whatever you wish to call it
Become worse than the illness could ever have been

sad
 
Because the type is misleading the sheep by having the word (immunity) in it.
Don’t matter how many get vaccinated. NEVER going away. This is not Polio, its a Flu and it was manufactured for a reason which I’m sure you’ll come around in time.
YOU HAVE REALLY MASTERED THE ART OF TALKING THRU YOUR ASS!!!! I applaud you!!!! and all while gulping!!!! friggin outstanding boy!!

The authorities in Austin warn residents that the city’s Covid situation is ‘dire.’

The Austin area has seen a dramatic rise in the number of new infections, the highest surge since before vaccinations became widely available, and its intensive care units are near capacity.

The authorities in Austin, Texas, warned the public on Saturday that the city’s Covid-19 situation had grown desperate, as a surge in cases driven by the Delta variant swamped hospitals while city officials were prevented from issuing mask mandates or vaccinations by order of the state’s governor, Greg Abbott.

In an alert sent via text, phone call, email, social media and other channels to people in the area on Saturday, the city authorities said: “The Covid-19 situation in Austin is dire. Healthcare facilities are open but resources are limited due to a surge in cases.”

Bryce Bencivengo, a spokesman for the city’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, said that Friday had been one of the worst days for Austin’s hospitals since the pandemic started. More than 100 new Covid patients were admitted that day, he said, and intensive care units were near capacity, with Covid patients occupying more than 180 I.C.U. beds and 102 of those patients on ventilators.

“We are in the single digits of I.C.U. beds available,” Mr. Bencivengo said, adding that patients in emergency rooms were being forced to wait for space in the I.C.U.s to open up.

Austin’s mayor, Steve Adler, said in an interview on Saturday that the crisis could have been avoided if Mr. Abbott had not barred local government authorities from issuing mandates on masking. He said the city’s authorities wanted to avoid suing Mr. Abbott, but that “ultimately we’re going to need to do what is necessary to fight for the safety of our community.”
