"This what we want, high cases with low hospital admissions and low deaths, shows we can cope more with the virus " Possibly, it's certainly better than more hospitalisations....but this morning I saw a news article about long term consequences of infection. Whether it be symptomatic or asymptomatic. A surprisingly high percentage of people who had been infected, were still having consequences 3 or more months later. I suppose its still early days to understand what happens long term. | |||

"https://www.newstatesman.com/2020/08/why-are-covid-19-hospitalisations-falling-despite-cases-rising" This is good news - but I’ll wait and see what happens in the next couple of weeks. From my hospital’s experience (and colleagues elsewhere), infection precedes hospital admission by about 7-10 days. Current admissions track the infection rate 2 weeks ago; mortality figures track the infection rate 4/5 weeks ago. Re long term issues: very much a thing, not just profound fatigue (even for soldiers) but also permanent lung changes. (And yes, this holds true in all adult age groups: youngest I’ve seen with badly damaged lungs was a previously well 25 year old who wound up on ICU for weeks.) | |||

"Sample bias? Previously only symptomatic cases were selectively tested, mostly those who attended hospitals... Now that test/trace is in force, we have clusters occurring, with many asymptomatic individuals testing positive. This leads to the misleading appearance of the second wave." You maybe right about sample bias but i don't think its the main explanation. Many of the more susceptible people have sadly passed on and treatments are a lot better now than in march. I suspect that viral load may be playing a part too, lockdown measures will have lowered viral loads for everyone. | |||

"The reason why we are appearing to have a lot more cases and less hospital admissions is because 1) Tests are being done 2) They are only testing for coronoviruses and not Covid- 19 specifically. We have coronoviruses around all the time and are responsible for a lot of 'cold'type symptoms and Respiratory Tract Infections. Therefore the tests are only showing what we have around all the time and are not indicative of a rise in the R rate of Covid- 19, which the so called government 'experts' do not seem to have a grasp of.

"This what we want, high cases with low hospital admissions and low deaths, shows we can cope more with the virus " That's what you want. I want no deaths from Covid-19. And until we get a vaccine the only way that's going to happen is from low transmission. If you ask a person if they would accept only one person dying of Covid-19 this week they'd probably take it. If you then said that one person would be someone they loved you might get a different answer. Death is one thing when you pronounce it on an abstract person and quite another when it's close to home. | |||

The PCR test is a Generic Testing Technique which was originally created back in the mid 1980's and is actually a type of DNA test. In this case, it is used to identify a viral sample to the known DNA of the Covid 19 Coronavirus. There has been much talk on Social Media about the test being some generic "Corona Virus Family Detector" but that's not true, the fact that it is comparing the DNA means that the test is able to be used to detect ANY specific DNA they choose... It is also used to identify criminals from crime scene DNA samples. Cal | |||

"The reason why we are appearing to have a lot more cases and less hospital admissions is because 1) Tests are being done 2) They are only testing for coronoviruses and not Covid- 19 specifically. We have coronoviruses around all the time and are responsible for a lot of 'cold'type symptoms and Respiratory Tract Infections. Therefore the tests are only showing what we have around all the time and are not indicative of a rise in the R rate of Covid- 19, which the so called government 'experts' do not seem to have a grasp of. Point 2 absolute rubbish How is point 2 rubbish? Just to clarify if anyone is confused! The current swab test given is an antigen test for coronoviruses. There is an antibody test available that tells you if you have had Covid- 19 but this is not given to the public by the NHS. I assume that this is a reference to the PCR Test... The PCR test is a Generic Testing Technique which was originally created back in the mid 1980's and is actually a type of DNA test. In this case, it is used to identify a viral sample to the known DNA of the Covid 19 Coronavirus. There has been much talk on Social Media about the test being some generic "Corona Virus Family Detector" but that's not true, the fact that it is comparing the DNA means that the test is able to be used to detect ANY specific DNA they choose... It is also used to identify criminals from crime scene DNA samples. Cal" So are you stating that it is specifically identifies Covid- 19? | |||

Yes the Swab Test you are referring to is the PCR test which is searching for the Antigen (the actual virus). We're not allowed to post website links, but if you search for PCR Test there is loads of information available to explain how it works. Look for sources from proper medical or science organizations, these tend to present the facts in an unbiased way rather than pushing any sort if agenda or ideal (which you can get from both sides of every argument). The antibody tests show that people have had the virus before, and are not counted as new infections in any statistics. Cal | |||

" So why do the tests state coronovirus and not Covid- 19?" Also it is common to refer to the "Coronavirus (Covid 19)" just as Coronavirus just to reduce the length of it's name. The inference is that people will know that they are referring to the specific variant as that is what is currently relevant. It is no different to calling Seasonal Flu "The Flu" rather than "Influenza (B-H3N2)" or similar. Cal | |||

"This what we want, high cases with low hospital admissions and low deaths, shows we can cope more with the virus Possibly, it's certainly better than more hospitalisations....but this morning I saw a news article about long term consequences of infection. Whether it be symptomatic or asymptomatic. A surprisingly high percentage of people who had been infected, were still having consequences 3 or more months later. I suppose its still early days to understand what happens long term. There have always been long-term effects of FLU too - There can be a higher risk of heart attack and stroke, as high a six times the risk after getting better for more than a year, pneumonia can be more of a risk even after getting better. Blood count can be lower and elevated cholesterol is a risk. " It took me 6 months to get back to normal fitness after having been hit hard by flu. | |||

The antigen test is a different test that can also tell you if you are currently infected, but it is much less accurate than the PCR test and not yet in wide use. The antibody test is still being developed for wider use and its result can indicate that you may have previously had coronavirus..... Indicates coronovirus and not Covid- 19.

Cal It may be common to refer to Covid- 19 (full name is actually Coronovirus Diease 2019) as coronovirus but that is confusing as there are a lot of coronoviruses not just Covid- 19. Reading this extract from imperial college healthcare: - Only one test is currently being used widely – the PCR test. This test is used for patients and NHS staff, as well as in the community, and it gives you a fairly accurate indication of whether or not you are infected with coronavirus currently. The antigen test is a different test that can also tell you if you are currently infected, but it is much less accurate than the PCR test and not yet in wide use. The antibody test is still being developed for wider use and its result can indicate that you may have previously had coronavirus..... Indicates coronovirus and not Covid- 19. If it is testing for Covid- 19 then surely they would make that abundantly clear? I'm sure I'm not the only person who knows that all coronoviruses are not Covid- 19?!! A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, you seem to have a little knowledge gleaned from wiki-shit Nope not wiki anything direct from an NHS website. So are you refuting the statement that all coronoviruses are not Covid- 19 or something else as none of your statements so far have been entirely clear. This again? Again? First time I've posted on the subject! This has been posted in another thread." Ah I see not seen that one. | |||
