COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[AlgarveBlu]

Does the study mention if that test is covid-19-specific - or just generally coronavirus-specific?
In Germany we have about 4 regular seasonal coronaviruses (flu, cold...)
that are testing cross-positive on ontibody tests.
That problem has to be solved first.

Well it certainly implies it without specifically going into the details of the actual test used. more detailed link to report below

The raw results of the 3300-person test effort, which still need to be peer-reviewed, were reported by ABC News on Friday, and they represent the first large-scale look at the prevalence of COVID-19 antibodies in a community.

Infection rates back up in Spain and Germany. Depressing

In Spain they are testing lots of people outside of the hospital situation now This is a good thing but means the new cases figure is now not comparable with the figures of last week,month etc

I will be looking at the deaths figures now, although that too may suffer from the same problem temporarily as they add in deaths in the community.

Unless there's something we are missing the infection rate must go down with the lockdown in place here in Spain.

@bluealf has form for this mate. Last xmas he was on about hiding in his bin just so he could jump out and twat the bin man. I think it all goes back to being touched by bin men when he was a kid, so probably best to cut him some slack.

Well, you certainly caught a pair in your like net well done lol

Have you seen thishttps://covid19.isciii.es/?

See the bottom right graph for hospitalisations. That's a good measure. The epidemic is under control in Spain.

...the conversation is over as he didn't want to answer my question and if he finally answered in his last reply I didn't bother to read it...

That's a shame as it was a well reasoned, thoughtful riposte that was very compelling.

Are we talking about the same @BlueHammer85 ? That doesn’t sound like him at all. :-)

Can anybody explain to me why every Whitehouse press conference held by Trumpf has several people sat to his right hand side who are sat shoulder to shoulder with zero social distancing in place?
