Yes, you should have antibodies in your system.
Sorry for being an asshole. I’ve reflected and deleted.
Understand, testing for antibodies isn't any different than someone who has got it and shows no symptoms.
Hope all your loved ones keep safe - It is starting to explode out here right now - the younger crowd ( I am making no judgments) is now starting to react - My Son in law is feeling ill and my daughter is pregnant, just hoping its a cold but based on his job he is very high risk. I tried to warn them a couple of weeks ago to get ready but they were not taking it seriously, probably would not have made a difference anyhow. I have neighbors who now have come in direct contact with it and at least one is in self quarantine and they are younger. So its everywhere... thinking at this stage since it is a mild illness for most younger people to take off the restrictions, in fact encourage them to go out. At the same time build a firewall around the at risk and elderly. We are all going to get it anyhow maybe quickening the pace will mean less financial harm
Ive read they werent properly treated, in other words, they likely werent over it and released. So, they relapsed.
China is where most of the viruses are coming from. They can lie and try and tell the world the US military caused this but the reason is China itself. Some US politicians have sold their soul and our country to China. They take a bunch of peasants from the countryside and use them as slave labor in crowded cities. These people eat stuff you would not believe and much of it is eaten raw, that is where this virus came from and there will be more to follow. We need to get our businesses out of China. I dont for one minute believe their infection numbers money is much more important to them than the people in their own country. Any one defending China on this or calling it racist to be honest where this came from should be ashamed of themselves. It dishonors the pain their fellow citizens are going through
Agree anything is better than nothing. I admit I don't know the full details of this,but is $1000 really going to help long term? By the sounds of it people could be out of work for at min a month or 2 at worst 6 months or more. Even if it is 1,000 a month that is still not enough to pay bills and live.
We are all different, much like allergies, each person reacts differently to the same potentially possible allergin.
I am in the camp that this can turn positive fairly quickly - a vaccine does not need to be in circulation before the market and money that is sitting on the sidelines comes back, they will need more certainty than we have right now however. Most people realize this is a once in a 100 year event . This is not a financial crisis it is a physical one - serious yes economy killing no and our social fabric is not going to unravel. I think we have a recession but a 1000 dollars or 2000 is not the difference -
Thanks but there's still time for me to be wrong and believe me I hope I am. I'm encouraged that we've slowed this down to buy us time. I'm also hopeful that this has bought us enough time IF the FDA gets off their asses to get a vaccine to high risk citizens. They're going to HAVE to waive some liability and testing requirements to get it done. I'm also very concerned about the economic consequences this may have long term.
There does, as with some other viral and bacterial pathogens, seem to be some "dose dependency" which might be determining some of how serious your illness becomes. One would have to run controlled studies in order to determine for sure if that was true and I don't think we would find any human volunteers for that one.
I just rented one of my houses to a young couple who wanted out of their apartment building as fast as they could. They were going to move in during May but decided to move in this weekend.
I'm afraid it won't be good.
I'm not sure Choroquine is the one that people have hope for. There's an antiviral drug made by a subsidiary of Fujifilm (really) that was used in Ebola and it seemed to shorten the duration and lessen the severity of lung involvement in patients in China. Favipiravir I think is how you spell it. I don't think there's an equivalent drug marketed in the U.S. but I could be wrong.
The University of Iowa is extending spring break a week, and will finish the semester with online-only instruction starting March 30. It's lonely on campus, but I'm much safer without the students coming back into the Adler Journalism Building.
I think Chloroquine shows activity against CV in vitro (in the lab) but not invivo (in the body). I think somebody posted some information about that in an earlier thread. At this point, people are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at this virus to see if it works. I believe there's some logical biochemical reason to believe it might work but I thought I read somewhere that trials didn't look promising or that it didn't work against MERS.
Nightmare scenario. Exactly what I was afraid of when we first started discussing this on this board. Next will be widespread illness and deaths in our healthcare professionals I'm afraid and the resulting shortage of people to care for the ill.
This was just eight days after Italys first non imported corona case.
