inmates, over 96% of them had no symptoms.

I think it's neither good nor bad. It just adds credence to the idea that the virus is much more widespread than anybody thought a month or two ago. It is also obvious that when you consider all of the undiagnosed asymptomatic cases that it's mortality rate is not anywhere near what was reported for the first few months.Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Side note to all of this: I'm sure some have heard about the discovery that a lot more people may have had COVID 19 in California than previously thought because of the presence of antibodies. But now experts are wondering if they are false positives caused by the presence of other coronavirus antibodies, e.g. from people having the "common cold."inmates, over 96% of them had no symptoms.
That's only for certain tests, theyveworked that out in the testing stage, so much of that is old news.Side note to all of this: I'm sure some have heard about the discovery that a lot more people may have had COVID 19 in California than previously thought because of the presence of antibodies.

And news flash, prison population is pretty enclosed system and ideal for breakout.
So, we ignore the new york tests?Those Cali tests are not really old news at all. And news flash, prison population is pretty enclosed system and ideal for breakout. Not at all representative of overall population. And still no proof that covid19 immunity lasts, etc. Let science play out.
You can buy one.Tell me about it.
Our facility shut down for two weeks after 2 officers tested positive with 2-3 more assumed cases they didn't bother testing. Luckily, we're a small juvenile facility and they had pared our population down so it wasn't a complicated thing to do. Lucky me, I took vacation the week leading up to it so I got 3 weeks off, paid thank God.
I wish antibody testing was more available. My son (2 years old) got sick with a bad cough and high fever in late March/early April, just under 2 weeks before my first coworker tested positive. Fever got up to 103.1, but we were told by the ER to keep him at home as long as it didn't get higher. He has asthma so we were treating with him with albuterol every 4 hours around the clock to get him through. We called his pulmonologists office, and the subtext from them was that they thought he had it but obviously couldn't say that.
My wife and I never got sick, which is odd because my wife catches any respiratory thing that goes around and we didn't exactly quarantine our son. Another coworker had similar symptoms before my son did, but she was early enough (mid March) that testing was barely available so she was never tested. I'm pretty convinced my wife and I were asymptomatic unlike my son. But, no antibody tests are readily available around here so we'll probably never know.
You can buy one.
30$ a whack though.

Hope you guys are all on the other side of thisYa, at this point I probably won't spend my own money to do it. The county can pay for it since they're the reason I may have been exposed and/or exposed others.

Your son sounds kinda like my granddaughter. She got hit like someone turned on a lightswitch. High fever for a couple days and NOTHING would really break it. My daughter called into the hospital and they said don't get concerned until or unless it got to 104. I thought, holy cow!!Tell me about it.

It also doesn't kill the stupid, so you've got that going for you....I've eaten tons of bat soup in my life so I'm pretty sure I've built immunity.

Ok boomerI don't worry, those denying early tests are being deceived. There will be hundreds od such tests involving millions of people.
Better get your denying in now, because most won't forget if it's cost them their livelihood.
Deniers will have to face this.
I'm not worried.
Good one, Karen.It also doesn't kill the stupid, so you've got that going for you....
to be fair, even the most clairvoyant posts on a college recruiting board get us no closer to solving the coronavirus.But we aren't going to get there with jibberish posting, incorrect math and a lack of scientific understanding.
That’s a tough situation to be in and no easy solution about what to do with prison or juvenile facilities. We can’t just send them all home to self-quarantine obviously. Best of luckTell me about it.

Because it is much more prudent to go with a known rate (deaths from C19 vs. known cases) than to guess.That’s the key!! If the mortality rate is .03%- why the hell did we ruin the economy? F#^k China!
space is blackBecause it is much more prudent to go with a known rate (deaths from C19 vs. known cases) than to guess.
the entire world should be receiving similar threats
Lied, covered up, still covering up. Infected the world. Crippled the economy. Hoarded all the PPE and are now price gouging. The world sees this. They will pay. One way or another. Same for the W.H.O. And the fact the liberal media doesn't report this is sickening. They would rather blame Trump for everything. You can't deny this is all on China. Report the facts snowflakes!!F*+k China, shows how little they care, lying commies
This is probably a good thing. It also supports other small studies and early antibody tests that suggest most people who get this are having mild to no symptoms. This also means that it isn't as scary as the media and many have been making it was.inmates, over 96% of them had no symptoms.
I agree, while the death rate is dropping the infection rate is skyrocketing. Good that it isn't as deadly. Bad at how easily and quickly it can be spread.Not showing symptoms is great for the average person. It's horrible for people at risk of dying from the disease because it means that people who have it and could transmit it have no idea they're carrying a virus that can kill somebody.
The longer this goes on the more I start to think that "back to normal" will be when a lot of the most vulnerable people have already been hospitalized and/or killed by this thing. It's a scary and powerless feeling.
