When it really happens: SHTF...

Wasn't it the Ohio Gov that tested Pos+ yesterday(?) before Trump got on the stump.
Media hyped it all up, then he gets tested again after Trump was long gone and results were Neg-.

Anyone read about the $1 test kit you use at home. Sorta like a Pregnancy test, but you spit in a cup and drop in some type of Litmus (sp ?) paper. Results are right away, instead of a 4-10 day wait. Problem with the 4-10 days results are catching it or passing it on after you tested.

Here I found it, Read this Guys, interested in opinions..........

Most of the coronavirus tests the U.S. does are worthless. But theres a solution that could actually work — and stop the spread.

I got the test up the nose. Wasn't the worst thing but not something i would do as a recreational activity. I got the results in 24 hour and the results were negative however my conditions was extremely suspect.To the point where i had to go into a clinic, interview with people that look like they were dressed for a zombie movie. Personally i dont put much faith in the swab tests, that is just my personal opinion. I have to wait another week before I can take the antibody test which would confirm it but my doctor still thinks i had it. Completely loosing taste and smell with zero congestion for days, chills sweats and other unpleasantness just doesn't hit randomly.

A 21 year old relative recently came down with symptoms - got an appointment and was able to get tested 2 days later. He waited at home 9 days before receiving results - negative! He missed 12 days of work because of it. With tests taking this long in Oregon, how can "contact tracing" even work? - Bob

Doesn't help that the symptoms are the same as every other respiratory disease and virus out there.

There is a 90% negativity rate for testing so you only have a one in ten chance of having it when tested. Antibody tests would probably be a lot more effective than these. A lot of people have already had it and never knew it.

Found out this morning,
Cousin's daughter is in the hospital for the 2nd time with it.
Same cousin who had it himself and lost his Mother , my last living Aunt 2 days after she went in.

I don't recall hearing about anyone getting it twice. They'll put her on assisted breathing if she doesn't improve by noon tomorrow.
She has other health issues that make her a high risk.
Sounds as though she contacted her Dr and had to wait 8 days for a office visit.
I should change the: (had to wait) to (She decided to wait) 8 days.
Straight from that office visit via ambulance to the hospital.

There's a fine example of Crisis management by both her and her Dr for you. Sounds as though she was in contact with many people over those 8 days before seeing her Dr again.
Did I mention she's currently a online Nursing student ?
No where have I claimed that she's on the 'Bright Side'.
Only a WAG as to how many she may have passed it on to.

Just seems to me if her Dr was that busy that his office would have sent her out to one of the many drive thru testing sites we have nearby.

IMO, 1/2 of the people out there are too stupid to step up and make decisions regarding their health issues. And if they can't take care of their own A$$, how responsible are they to others they come upon.

I'm hearing from that side of the family that the Dr is to blame.
I don't buy it. We have to be responsible for our actions...... I hope she hasn't passed it on to someone else.

Remember way back in the early days of HIV / AIDS ?
Seems they had no trouble tracking it and those in contact.
Probably like most, I'm sick of this Sh!t. And the ignorant MF'ers who I think, just want to catch it so they can say....... Yea I had that.

It would seem to me that either she had it then or has it now, not both Unless the first time was 3 months ago or more. Your body has an immunity for the same thing for at least a few months. They don't know with this yet but if no immunity, a vaccine isn't going to work. Another possibility is a bacterial infection. They are happening with people wearing masks and they aren't checking for it assuming it's Covid.

In any case, I wish her the best. I'm not one for going to the doctor either but under present circumstances, if I was feeling bad enough to call, I'd schedule the appointment as soon as possible.

Here in Aus Victoria is our achilles heel as there were from what the news said last night 170 odd untraceable infections meaning they cannot say how they got the infection they have introduced a curfew but its not enough as people are still going out who are not supposed to or flouting the curfew.
They arrested people at 2 o'clock in the morning going for a drink at a mates place seems we are not immune from Darwins principle of challenged intalect, another chap was given a move on notice for disputing the Covid - 19 as a hoax.
I have read and in reality its pretty sad but reports of persons in the US dying and others going blind from drinking anti-bacterial hand wash as it contained methanol not ethanol truly Trump said that whether as a gaff or what about putting disinfectant into your blood but some have gone to the extreme in fear I guess.

On a lighter note I went and had a track-day on my Ducati V4 it was my first time on a track so I left my tyres at factory pressures and yes the chicken strips are there (Although its a 200/60/17" profile) so I took it fairly steady.
Next time I'll let the tyres down still have it in race mode but have the power delivery at dynamic instead of low power (Slows throttle response) a bit.
This is the rear tyre after riding a 100 klms home there was allot more melted bits than that and it was only 15 C all day out there damned cold.............
