lazarus Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) AI to the rescue MIT Team's Cough Detector Identifies 97% of COVID-19 Cases Even in Asymptomatic People https://www.sciencealert.com/ai-cough-analysis-could-detect-covid-19-even-if-you-re-asymptomatic COVID-19 Artificial Intelligence Diagnosis using only Cough Recordings https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9208795 Results: When validated with subjects diagnosed using an official test, the model achieves COVID-19 sensitivity of 98.5% with a specificity of 94.2% (AUC: 0.97). For asymptomatic subjects it achieves sensitivity of 100% with a specificity of 83.2%. Conclusions: AI techniques can produce a free, non-invasive, real-time, any-time, instantly distributable, large-scale COVID-19 asymptomatic screening tool to augment current approaches in containing the spread of COVID-19. Practical use cases could be for daily screening of students, workers, and public as schools, jobs, and transport reopen, or for pool testing to quickly alert of outbreaks in groups.

Last night after i'd been on here we get a text message and an e mail she is positive and I am negative , though I woke up this morning with the same symptoms she had and i've been for another test an hour ago, which I will get the results for within 72 hours (it took 24 hours for the last ones) So far she isn't too bad and not even off her feet , there are five other people who she works with that all tested positive before her and they are all ok and not affected too much. I'm about to find out close up what it's like... I still stand by what I said though shield the old if they need it and the rest if is get on with it if we are following the rules. Quick update then i'm done with it. I had two tests altogether they both came back negative , the Mrs as you all know was positive. She can go out as from today (the ten days isolation for positives start from the onset of symptoms) Me and the kids have to wait till Tuesday (14 days) She felt ill for just one day just really exhausted and aching. We have never seperated from each other and even carried on sleeping in the same bed.The kids are also unaffected. So much for being so contagious even more so I believe we need to get on with it and shield the elderly (if they even want to) We really can't keep locking down for this bullshit i've seen worse colds. I'm lucky enough to have a small gym / mancave and have been exercising in there most days for the past 4 days she has been doing 10k per day on the treadmill with the most dangerous virus in the world 🙄 I'm done . If any of you are unlucky enough to get a positive don't worry too much , if you have underlying issues maybe take it easy . Take it easy everyone . 8 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangsom Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I know a few people that have ‘long COVID’ and just can’t shake it. A couple of them are docs who caught it early doors back in March and they are still suffering now from simply being fatigued all the time, one of them his whole family got it and 3 of 5 of them are like that. So It’s not just the people who die from it, there are loads that will suffer long term because of this. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be different strains (i'm no medic obviously) and I heard some bad stories at the beginning. But it seems most people now that I know have been through exactly what just happened (still happening to me till Tuesday) I feel sorry for the people who get it real bad , but there are a 100 people more that don't. State of the world since March , it's just unreal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is anyone on here who has to go through it though I wish them the best of luck. All I know you couldn't do 10k a day with Stage 3 cancer or a dodgy heart etc etc , time for those people to get the help they really need. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I take my hat off to your president in his stand against radical Islam. He may have kicked a hornets nest, and other leaders (like Boris) are cowering down behind the gunwales waiting to see what happens, but somebody needed to say it and I'm glad he's had the balls to do it. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he is one of the very few that makes his position clear on the international scene on that subject. I dont really like the Covid handling, but concerning the rest he is doing pretty good. Nato, Merkel, Turkey... he said what had to be said. Ok, end of T.F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galenkia Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 So 4000 deaths a day predicted by Boris and his 'experts' then?. His dossier is a as dodgy as Blairs Iraq one. Yesterday the chief executive of the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust confirmed that in the county's main hospital there are just 7 patients with Coronavirus and only 3 of them in ICU. Yet a county of 565,000 people are in lockdown there. Insanity. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
