About a week ago I read that Utah's contact tracing had identified and isolated 85% of the positive tests. -

https://Antibody tests support what’...l than the flu
The most controversial such study came out of Santa Clara County, Calif., the heart of Silicon Valley. It claimed that the true number of infections in the county in early April may have been 50 to 85 times the official coronavirus case counts. Extrapolating from that, it gave an estimated infection fatality rate of between 0.12 and 0.2 percent.
That provided what seemed like reliable ammunition to those who believe the danger of covid-19 has been overstated. They said the numbers show this disease is not much different from seasonal flu.
A commonly cited statistic about seasonal flu is that it has a fatality rate of 0.1 percent, That, however, is a case fatality rate. The infection fatality rate for flu is perhaps only half that, Viboud said. Shaman estimated that it’s about one-quarter the case fatality rate.
Thus, even if the Santa Clara numbers are roughly accurate about the spread of the virus and its lethality, it would still be deadlier than the flu.
Statisticians and other epidemiologists have argued that there were also errors in data analysis in the Santa Clara report, which was led by researchers at Stanford University. The researchers used advertisements on Facebook to call for volunteers, and critics said that may have led to an unrepresentative sampling of the county. The critics noted that even a small rate of false positives can skew a survey in which the targeted disease has low prevalence.
Shaman, the epidemiologist, said he hopes the higher estimates for infections and commensurately lower fatality rates are correct. Everyone needs more testing and better data, he said.
For now, the preponderance of evidence describes an exceptional pathogen. For someone like Shaman, who wears a mask when he walks the dog in New York City and is conscientious about washing his hands, there is no doubt that the endgame is far away — that until a vaccine or reliable therapeutics are in place, or when so many people have been sickened and then recovered that the country achieves “herd immunity,” everyone needs to try to limit the spread of the virus.
“We have completely disrupted our society through our social distancing practices, shutting our businesses, closing our schools, and still this thing has already killed 53,000 people in the United States,” he said. “We have a very long way to go until we get herd immunity.”Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

The comment of it being an exceptional pathogen is spot on. As a disease, it is probably only challenged by Ebola, MERS, and maybe SARS-1 in its killing ability. Those diseases have a higher mortality rate, but a much lower case load.Originally posted by myboynoah View Post"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

We watched the Netflicks covid "explained" show last night. Those are dumb viruses compared to COVID because they are too lethal and some aren't contagious until symptoms manifest, hampering the viruses' ability to spread more widely.Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View PostGive 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

It's funny that in my part of Texas, it was an order (by a Democrat judge) for people to wear masks outside that pushed everyone over the edge. Everyone was flipping out and even protesting when the order came out. Never mind that 95%+ of people are obeying by wearing a mask...of course they are wearing a mask because THEY chose to wear it, not because a democrat judge is ordering them to wear it."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Looks like Remdesivir is showing some positive results in non-blind studies. At least the market ceratinly likes what it's seeing."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

I am waiting until NWCoug has had a chance to review the results... He will point out the faults in the studies for us. Just like he did for Hydroxychloroquine. Speaking of which can you believe those Koreans are still using that stuff? Don't they know the side effects will just make things worse?Originally posted by Moliere View Post
https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/hydr...us-is-divided/Hydroxychloroquine used by Korea for Covid-19 while US is divided
South Korea recommended the anti-malarial drug HCQ to treat Covid-19 while political interference in the US over the drug has alarmed medical experts
[...]
South Korea was one of the first countries to be hit by the virus after China, reporting its first case on January 20 and peaking by late February, before suddenly tapering off in early March and “flattening the curve.” It also has a comparatively low mortality rate through a combination of testing, tracing, containment and HCQ.

6 monkeys given an experimental coronavirus vaccine from Oxford did not catch COVID-19 after heavy exposure, raising hopes for a human vaccine
- Monkeys given an experimental vaccine from the University of Oxford appear to have resisted the novel coronavirus.
- Six rhesus macaques given hAdOx1 nCoV-19 in Montana did not fall ill despite heavy exposure, The New York Times reported Monday.
- There is no guarantee the vaccine will work on humans, but successful animal tests are a promising early sign.
- The Oxford Vaccine Group began human trials for the vaccine last week.
