Yessongs Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 So locally here in my city ( San Jose, Calif) they are now in full testing mode for free at one of several locations. Decided since alot of "experts" are saying you can actually be infected and not know it and spread it to others, figured wifey and I will go get this done right? Very user friendly, company called "Project Baseline" has a web-site, you create an account, answer a few questions, sign some forms on line then they give you testing times available. This particular location was at "Pal Stadium" here where Football and Baseball are both played, they converted the parking lot into several lanes for cars for a drive thru. You are provided a video of how this will all go down, looks easy enough, common sense approach but....you are given your "kit" of swab, tube to put it in after etc. There is a Nurse there who stands 6 feet away from your car, you roll your window down, she helps you through the process. Now you think you just put this swab directly up your nose and "twist and turn" a few times and "rinse and repeat" for the other side but no......you have to get the angle just right and it is NOT just sticking it straight up your nose. For me that's where the problem began, for some reason, I was having trouble on the left side getting the angle just right and getting a 90 degree swab against the wall of your nose, then putting your head straight back, then slowly push this swab farther up your nose until she tells you to stop, then twist and then do the other side. She was very patient, and it took me several tries to get it just right, slight bit of discomfort ( as to be expected) but overall not bad. The right side of my nose went perfect the first time. Rachanee had no problem at all for either side. 3 days later, they send you an e-mail and you get your results...all is well for both of us. They also send you alot of other information telling you not to let your guard down because you came out negative.....good experience over all. Your coronavirus (COVID-19) test results Your test was negative for COVID-19. It is important to read the additional info attached. These test results and health information have been provided by PWNHealth. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, you can get them done here as well, if you have symptoms, and the symptoms are that varied, basically you can get one if you want. Drive in or make an appointment and walk up. Don't really fancy walking up to an appointment with lots of other people who have symptoms. Want the antibody one, to see if you had it. But even then, it's not currently guaranteed if you did you can't catch it again. Through my work we'll be one of the first to get them. That said, it's pretty much passed in London. The London Borough I live and work in has about 300,000 people. 2 weeks ago it had 6 new infections, 2 deaths. Last week it had 7 new infections and no deaths. Yes be more infections not picked up through no symptoms, but it's very minimal now, even with opening up. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Hmm... You can lead *some* sheep to science, but you can't teach 'em to think. Gotta die of something, right? COVID-19 is the efficient way to go -- painfully, while gasping for air. Here's a little science for *some* who are less informed...COVID-19 is killing 20 times more people per week than flu does, new paper says https://www.livescience.com/covid-19-deaths-vs-flu-deaths.html https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2766121 How COVID-19 Deaths Are Counted > Assigning a cause of death is never straightforward, but data on excess deaths suggest coronavirus death tolls are likely an underestimate https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-covid-19-deaths-are-counted1/ Comparing COVID-19 Deaths to Flu Deaths Is like Comparing Apples to Oranges > The former are actual numbers; the latter are inflated statistical estimates https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/comparing-covid-19-deaths-to-flu-deaths-is-like-comparing-apples-to-oranges/ Technical Notes: Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) >Deaths due to COVID-19 may be misclassified as pneumonia or influenza deaths in the absence of positive test results, and pneumonia or influenza may appear on death certificates as a comorbid condition. > Additionally, COVID-19 symptoms can be similar to influenza-like illness, thus deaths may be misclassified as influenza. Thus, increases in pneumonia and influenza deaths may be an indicator of excess COVID-19-related mortality. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/tech_notes.htm#:~:text=Deaths due to COVID-,19-related mortality.

fatbhoytim Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Getting ridiculous here in Scotland now. Last week we had the chief constable of Scotland on telly telling us to report garden "gatherings" like BBQs of more than 10 people as it was unsafe to do so, and people could end up with a fine. Fast forward to this weekend-- black life matters protest changed from George Square in Glasgow to Glasgow Green as George Sq was deemed not big enough to hold all those attending. I wonder how many fines they handed out ???? A Feckin joke. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
