Bald and bankrupt's update

Would you like me to describe in detail the final months, days and hours of my brothers life due to a late missed cancer diagnosis? I can assure you it makes baldies time look like an absolute picnic.

The virus suppression measures will come with severe costs beyond the merely economic. Some of them will be horrific beyond your imagining.

What tests are the Austrians using in their airport that give a result in a couple of hours does anyone know?

Small lab loacted in Vienna airport.

€190 a go.

Open Monday to Friday 9 to 5. Book in advance. Results between 3 to 6 hours.

Weekends open 10 to 4. Results available the next day.

I can't imagine the have a large capacity. And the price would probably deter a lot of people.

Is that still in play there ? I know they've opened up without tests to EU countries now.

No idea what ones they were using before though.

Dunno tbh havent kept up with all the news

I've no plans to go away anywhere on holiday this year so I'm ignoring that side of things

He's not over 80 or obese , if he ended up on a ventilator its just the luck of the draw with this virus it seems.

A bit of an eye opener its too easy to get complacent .

Must say this new government doesn’t seem to be off to a great start - first with all the travel issues and now the pubs. They’re very very quiet.

He is a smoker and massively heavy drinker though, it's not as if he's a healthy person.

You can behave away all you want but if your well-behaved group is in the wrong place at the wrong time and a person with the virus coughs or sneezes near you (which is very possible at any moment you're out; it's a regular occurrence with allergies flaring up at this time of year, smokers around the place etc) you may inhale the droplets of the virus without knowing and pick this up. Outdoor transmission is rare but not impossible and all it takes is to be unlucky one time.

And this will happen forevermore as long as the virus exists no? So it's something that has to be lived with.

"Oh but the virus is at very low levels"

As always, there's no real way of knowing what levels the virus is at, because we're not doing testing of groups within the population and because it spreads asymptomatically with ease.

So CMO recently said “That is not to say that there are not some cases, but we have effectively extinguished it, which was the strategy from the very start. We have it down to a very, very low level. We don’t have widespread community transmission." You don't accept his position I take it?

I would broadly accept it, because notwithstanding your references to asymptomatic transmission happening "with ease", we'd have a lot more hospitalizations if that were really the case right now. And we are hopefully ready to do proper contact tracing if there are any flare ups.

Good news about no deaths. Any day nobody passes away from this awful illness is a good day

18 cases with 8000 daily tests is quite impressive

Agreed but positivity rates are tiny at this stage. Some of that care home testing may also be feeding into the numbers.

Any context been given for the big increase in daily testing? I *assume* they are hitting all hospital staff, nursing homes etc... Again?

County cases as of 3rd of July:

Cork +1
Dublin +6

Meath +1

Blood group may play a factor in severity. Just ordered a home testing kit. I hope I get good results.

Cases up again.

Good news with playgrounds open and children playing together and seeing grandparents again that it doesn’t seem to have increased the numbers . Great news for the kids

They have been begging people to get tested over the last couple of weeks for the smallest symptom so there's likely to be a big batch of hypochondriacs in there too.

Always_Running

By my count weekly cases was 91 from 35,252 tests. Its the 3rd week in a row to have weekly cases under 100.

We had 11 deaths this week half the amount of deaths compared to last week hopefully we can get the death count close to zero next week.

Mass nursing home/residential care testing yes + you can get a test if you ask your doctor

Yup mass testing of healthcare staff in nursing homes started up again about a week ago. 1 test a week for 4 weeks is what I've heard.

Apart from that if you go to the GP with even a sniffle they appear to be offering referals for tests.

Maybe they want to get all that out of the way before borders open up again, because then there needs to be spare testing capacity to react to potential outbreaks.

That is quite possibly the case but I think most nursing homes have it under control at this stage

What's the thinking behind the severity and blood group theory? Which groups are supposed to be more affected?

Everyone gets a test pre op as well. Postponed operations are now going ahead. We had a wild amount of them this week.

I think blood group A gets it severe and blood group O doesn't get it as bad.

There were reports back in March, I can't find them now, but it fizzled out as it was initially based on a very small number and didn't hold up under further scrutiny.

What does a post like this add to the thread? They're up fractionally due to increased testing

If you take 7 EU countries that add up to same population of USA, you'd find it would add up to far more deaths than the USA have had.
USA is finding 100's of 1000's of positives results of covid of late, but very few deaths.

I think you will find the US is just getting started, though.

Seems it's spreading among the youth of America, with lil effect to them.
