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.

- By comparison, about 3000 people die of pneumonia a week in the USA. And about 400 a week by the flu.robotron3k

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 was talking to the owner of a hospital and clinic network yesterday (my fathers boss) and he said they are about to start testing for immunity. A simple blood test will be able to indicate if someone has had it and is producing antibodies for full immunity. They are talking about issuing cards that immune people would carry with them moving forward.
- i would love to get one of those wee pinprick tests. they probably wont be available in the UK (outside testing healthcare workers) for a while.kingsteven
- Spain has already begun blood testing peopleOBBTKN
- They keep mentioning this as a way forward but afaik they haven't actually worked out a reliable way to do so. Unless this is Newstoday?webazoot
- @mono that's great news! much needed and essential in analyzing and combating the spreadKrassy
- It’s reliable. This isn’t theoretical. They are rolling it out today in California from what I understand.monospaced
- The bottleneck isn’t the test, it’s the staff available to handle each one. Blood must be taken, transported to a lab, spun in centrifuge, etc. takes 15 min eacmonospaced
- Gotta figure out how to make it efficient and easily accessible. They are doing it for medical staff FIRST and exclusively.monospaced
- there was a bizarre paper last week that showed that antibody testing didn't work for detecting early infections. i'm still not sure why they thought it would.kingsteven
- i've seen nothing to suggest the pin-prick test kits for antibodies aren't accurate either. hopefully it'll eliminate a lot of the speculationkingsteven

- Should be some highly visible patch to be stitched onto clothing. Maybe in yellow?Gnash
- I was thinking similar gnash. But more like a big international thing with T-shirt’s and wristbands. Not for profit.monospaced
- This isn’t about detecting early infections. It’s about detecting immunity after recovery.monospaced
- Good news if correct for sure.webazoot

- Hard to say it, but that‘s how China did it. First it was a card, then they moved to an app.uan
- Issuing cards for immune people?!?GTFO...robotron3k

- A yeah, I forgot! So let it be an American Idea then;)uan
- ^ and German, and everywhere probably in time. yes mono, i know the tests are for immunity but there was some misleading news articles on them based on a studykingsteven
- that was to determine if they could detect antibodies in early infections.kingsteven
- Imagine exposing yourself so you can get the card so you can get back to bussing tables at a bar.nb

Doctors have found tentative evidence that seriously ill coronavirus patients can benefit from infusions of blood plasma collected from people who have recovered from the disease.
Hints that the therapy may help have prompted US doctors to trial infusions in the outbreak in New York and similar studies are expected to start in the UK in the coming weeks.
- So you're saying taking blood of a young, healthy person and giving it to older, sickly person works? Is this correct.robotron3k
- it’s only the part of the blood where you will find antibodies. it‘s not like in medieval paintings or movie images you might have.uan
- you need recovered patients to harvest their blood for antibodies. and its not a cure. it‘s an additional tool they can use to make patients survive.uan

Donald Trump Has Stake In Hydroxychloroquine Drugmaker: Report
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/d…
The president has repeatedly touted the anti-malaria drug as a coronavirus treatment despite a lack of medical evidence.
President Donald Trump reportedly owns a stake in a company that produces hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria drug he has repeatedly touted as a coronavirus treatment even though his experts say there’s no strong evidence it works.

- Oh fuck off. It's a generic drug. The science behind it was due to a study conducted at the tail end of the SARS outbreak, which is why SK used it.monNom

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?
