Corona and other diseases

So, Wisconsin apparently is having a 20% positivity rate in its testing? That would explain why MI's Upper Pennisula is blowing up.

Yay! I think you said you get out on the 5th? When was your most recent test? How long did it take to come back?

I’ve not had any test.
My partner tested positive and I had to isolate alongside her. She has had two more tests since, but thanks to the labs being overwhelmed we have not received any results from those.
Because I’ve not had symptoms, I’m not eligible for a test anyway.

Our isolation should have been over today, but because my other half has an upcoming operation on the 5th, we both have to continue to isolate until then.
But, we have to go out to a mobile Covid-19 test centre on Friday as per hospital instruction.
If that test is positive, her operation will be cancelled. We are therefore hoping the original positive test result was actually a false positive, which is more common than you might think.

This is the only way for some people to understand how bad the virus is. To either suffer from it or see a loved one suffer from it.

And even if the ones still claiming this to be a hoax have a close friend or loved one suffer from it and end up passing away, they'll likely to just claim it was some preexisting condition that they had. Some people just hate being wrong and feel that they always have to be right about something.
 
Early data shows promising results from Regeneron's antibody cocktail for coronavirus


Biotechnology company Regeneron released some early results of tests using its antibody cocktail in coronavirus patients Tuesday, and said it seemed to reduce levels of the virus and improve symptoms in patients.

The greatest improvements were seen in patients who hadn't already mounted a natural response to the infection, the company said.

The results only involve 275 patients of the 1,000 they have enrolled in this particular trial, but appear "very promising," Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, the director of the division of infectious diseases at University of Alabama at Birmingham, told CNN.

The treatment also showed positive trends at reducing medical visits for the patients, none of whom were sick enough to be hospitalized at the start of the trial, the company said. The numbers in this early release of information were small and the data has not been peer reviewed yet. Only topline data was available in a news release from the company.

A company spokesperson said the data validates the treatment as a therapeutic substitute for a natural response to the virus.

Marrazzo said what stood out to her is that the study characterized patients by their immune responses prior to treatment and determined who did and did not benefit.

"What I think is fascinating is that it shows that antibodies really matter and the antibody to the spike protein was really helpful, particularly when people made the antibodies themselves," said Marrazzo. "Whether it's antibody therapy or vaccine that target these proteins, it sounds like we are on the right track. I think that's really encouraging."

Best of luck with that man. Hope you guys are both given the all clear asap and your partner’s operation goes ahead and goes smoothly. :up:
 
Really sucks. I feel very sorry for them all. I loved the parks when I went in the past.
