The following are current death rates from confirmed cases:
> NY: 10k deaths / 103k tested ≈ 9.67% deaths
> Italy: 20k deaths / 159.5k tested ≈ 12.83% deaths
> Spain: 17.5k deaths / 169.5k ≈ 10.32%
> France: 14.4k / 133.6k ≈ 10.77%
> UK: 11.3k / 89.5k ≈ 12.65%
> Germany: 3k / 128k ≈ 2.37%
> China: 3.3k / 84.3 ≈ 3.96%
> ...

Since we have more case data, it looks like the death rate so far is around 11% for the first 5. Not sure why Germany has such few deaths, and China is probably lying.
Things are not looking that good so far. Ad hoc, if the initial estimated death rate was around 3%, it's starting to look like the true death rate is much higher.
Note: This assumes that common testing is getting better, and that not all confirmed cases will require hospitalization, but initial self quarantine. This roughly accounts for the bias of not having true confirmed cases, which is of course highly likely.

>> No.11561378

>>11561332
I'd be willing to argue that the death rate is much lower than that as we know the virus is super infectious and can spread like wildfire even with our supposed lockdowns.

I think it's very likely that there are asymptomatic and mild cases out there that are going unreported and thus skewing the death rate by a wide margin.

>> No.11561400

>>11561378
True, the data is flawed and we can only get a better estimate with more testing.
I’m also worried that through the media and people getting desensitized, people will start gaining a false security that things are getting better, when this will probably last for a long time.

I am not able to easily hypothesize a mechanism for this global linear growth trend. The virus would grow exponentially without the social distance countermeasures. It seems too coincidental that those measures would retard the spread of the virus exactly to the linear trend. That is like balancing a pencil on its pointy tip and I have no reasonable expectation that that could be. The countermeasures should change the rate of exponential growth, not throw it into some totally foreign linear mode.

One way to get linear growth is to reach the max number of cases that can be confirmed in a day and then to keep reporting it but I don't think that's the case since its clustered a few large cities.

>> No.11561490

>>11561378
I think it's reasonable to say the lowest deathrate are the closest to reality. Places with good testing have ~0.5%, places with shit testing have >2-3%.

Somewhat. Because there are so many tens of thousands of COVID tests to do, sometimes people go to the hospital with COVID symptoms, have or get pneumonia, and then die too fast to complete a test. These people pretty obviously died of coronavirus with a very high probability (maybe a tiny handful had something else, but not significantly many), but they weren't technically "tested positive".
This might inflate the mortality a tiny bit, but not enough to matter.

Although the trends are leaning this way, I think the data might actually be pretty inaccurate for proper medical diagnosis. Also, it's good to keep in mind the different age groups and their own case fatality rates. Who knows, maybe isolating the target populations for the virus like the immunocompromised, while everyone else goes back to work is the best strategy. People going into poverty is a bigger problem if the virus is already well mitigated.

I think China's numbers are low probably because they had a TRUE lockdown. In every other country, "lockdown" is merely a recommendation. In China, everyone's FORCED into lockdown. Their doors sealed shut by welding them with piece of iron bar on their doors by their government. They caught them early on, 3-4 months before rest of the world decided to do anything. Everyone decried that it was useful. They also had everyone use masks at the start. Everyone, except the Asians, decried that masks were useless. In Japan/Korea/China/Singapore/Taiwan, masks were used regularly. So infection rate was lowered by an order of magnitude in those respective countries.

I think the discrepancy is that the ~2% figure in the article you mentioned is the percentage of respiratory deaths related to influenza, whereas the 6-9% figure I've brought up is the mortality rate of people that have contacted influenza. In other words, one is looking at the total number of deaths due to respiratory issues and what slice of that number is related to influenza, and the other is saying that of the people that have had influenza, 6-9% of those people die. So those 6-9% of people are within that 2%, if that makes sense.

I'm asking here because I literally can't find any information anywhere else on the internet: can other viruses cause a flu test to show positive? Could like an active Corona virus or HIV cause a flu test to come back positive? I tested positive for flu, specifically Influenza A at the end of February. Does that definitely mean it was a flu virus? Are the tests created to only test for that years strain, or a broader range of viruses? Any medfags out there?

No, its common but certainly not definitive. The problem is many respiratory illnesses have anosmia as a symptom. Even allergies can cause a loss of taste or smell.

Should I worry about coronavirus even though I'm 20, healthy, fit, with no underlying health conditions? I was looking at the stastics from worldometer that people ages 20-30 have a 0.2% mortality rate and a slightly higher serious case rate.

So I have it in my head that when I inevitably get infected, either it will be asymptomatic or mild, so o don't have to worry too much about getting infected. In fact, it might be better to just get it over with. I mean you hear about serious cases and deaths from people my age but it's so rare every one makes a news headline so...

First off, I'm not a medical professional. Second, IMO, I think as a 20 year-old with no underlying conditions, your biggest concern isn't contracting the virus itself but rather the risk that you might spread it to other people. You could end up being asymptomatic but meanwhile you could be passing it off to other individuals who may be compromised or may interact with other individuals who are compromised. So no, you should worry too much about dying from it, but please be considerate towards others since not everyone can be as lucky!

Is there any data on the probability/chances of catching the virus? I don't mean dying per se, but for example, if I'm isolated but I go out to buy groceries once a week what are the chances of catching it? It just seems strange that where I live there's so many people going about with their lives. I also wonder about the people working in supermarkets and how they're in constant exposure to people on a daily basis, yet they don't seem to get infected.

Don't forget that it may have long term consequences. One of my friends had chickenpox. He's in the hospital for shingles and he's half paralyzed. Healthy, fit mid 20s. Happened randomly as in this week. Once you're sick you may be really ill and just be uncomfortable. I took it not seriously, but others around me, do.

Pathetic, still waiting for efficacy and margun of error studies on these tests because there are almost religious tier belief that these tests are worth a shit when they can be putting out false positives more than half the time for all we know.

i'm new to this board, i don't know much about biology and i have some questions
does anyone know what's actually involved in testing for covid-19? I keep seeing articles saying we can't do random testing because there's no tests to spare, i also read articles about a lack of "test kits" or that the test kits "don't work"
i thought you run samples through a machine? what are the test kits made of? is it complicated? I just read an article today saying we can't do more test because we have a shortage of swabs
the USA went from having a fairly small military to being an ultra super power in a span of months in WW2 but they can't make some SWABS? has the global just in time inventory system made us that pathetic that we can't produce some fucking swabs?

i'm so fucking confused by this whole thing, but the question i keep find myself wondering most is how does testing work and why can't we test more, if anyone knows and can explain it to someone who knows very little about biology i'd very much appreciate it

>> No.11568477

so ultimately isn't most of the data we have completely useless since no one had done a significant amount of random testing? if most cases are mild or no symptoms at all, isn't it possible a huge portion of the population has already had the disease and recovered without even knowing?
it seems to me the only way we can get any useful is with random testing yet we aren't doing this

even if there is a shortage of tests couldn't we at least sacrifice a few thousand to use for random testing, that way we could get a gauge on what percentage of the healthy population likely has it?

welcome, fren.

>does anyone know what's actually involved in testing for covid-19?
so it's a procedure called pcr. which detects the viral RNA by making millions of copies of it (amplifying as it's called) so it can be detected.

>I keep seeing articles saying we can't do random testing because there's no tests to spare, i also read articles about a lack of "test kits" or that the test kits "don't work"
some of the test kits are faulty, many sent from china. there is a shortage because other than taiwan, south korea, and a few other places have retards in the health ministries/departments.

>what are the test kits made of?
so these are RNA sequences that are complementatry to the viral target ones plus enzyme polymerase, the p in pcr which stands for polymerase chain reaction.

>is it complicated?
kinda, it's not simple but it's not hard tho only a few labs make the kits. design can also be tricky.

>I just read an article today saying we can't do more test because we have a shortage of swabs
supply chain is fucked because we centralized the world's manufacturing hub in china. dumbest move ever. but we listened to locke whinge about wine and portugal for some reason. either way after thins i hope the world realizes that service economies were a mistake and goes back to manufacturing everything everywhere.

>Does the virus survive in the freezer?
Yes.
>For how long?
Indefinitely. Viruses aren't "alive" in the same sense that cells are; a virus has no metabolic processes that cold will shut down, it doesn't eat anything, generate any energy, or even move at all, it's just a bunch of genetic material wrapped in some fat with some protein on the outside that lets it slide into cells when it bumps into them and then the generic material hijacks that cells and forces it to produce more virions.

Freezing this only preserves it longer. Freeze it cold enough and it'll "live" forever.

>Separately: Does heat kill it quickly?
Yes. Temperatures of around 56°C have been found to kill the virus quite rapidly. However, note that Summer temperatures are not warm enough to kill the virus; they will slow it and it will decay a bit faster, but not enough to stop it.

MERS is caused by a corona virus just like COVID is, and it has a very similar outer fat layer and it survives just fine I'm the heat of the Saudi summer, for example.

There is evidence that antibodies are not as strong as we would hope (http://archive.is/GuIBI)) and that some do not develop enough antibodies for immunity, if any, especially the young (http://archive.is/MxoHV).). Reportedly the "reinfections" popping up in South Korea are primarily in people under the age of 50, which coincides with that second study, suggesting re-infection is real. But most young people still developed sufficient antibodies according to that study - only 30% had questionable levels. So as far as I understand, this poses problems for herd immunity and vaccination but it doesn't make them impossible. Nothing's clear-cut yet about how bad it is, but "airborne aids" is very unlikely.

Had it. 3 days of light fever, followed by 3 days of sore throat, then a week of rather annoying dry cough and loss of smell. Now on day 18 and my sense of smell has been back since ~6 days ago, still have a light dry cough (3-4 coughs an hour) but I can't tell if it's still corona, a secondary infection, or just stress caused.

Shitting myself that all the /pol/ doomer shit turns out real and it will re-activate. I know the whole "airborne aids" is bullshit (it attacks tcells, it doesn't take them over to produce more of itself), but the cases in SK testing positive again have me on edge.

You can relax for now. The test has a gigantic false positive rate and it only shows the virus is still there in _some_ form. No statement is made about whether it's still active. Both together is what causes these.
I'm not saying your fear is completely out of question, but it's highly unlikely.

Illness report from NYC. Never been tested. Had these symptoms: fatigue, stomach pain, dry cough, shortness of breath, fever, loss of appetite, headache.

On these dates:

March 13-17: mild-moderate. The stomach pains kept me up all night.
April 9-12: mild.
April 17-?: even more mild.

The symptoms seem to resurface when I'm not taking proper care of my body in really trivial, common ways (ate mac&cheese for dinner, stayed up too late, etc.).

I left my apartment exactly once, on April 9th. I returned with a fever.

I'm worried that this will happen forever. But maybe it just needs time to be flushed from my body.

It was probably a flu, this is my guess. Even though it's anecdotal evidence, I know a nurse who died while treating covid patients. She was admitted to the hospital (ICU) last Saturday and by Tuesday she was dead. However, she was probably in her 50s, she had been treating patients all her adult life and all it took was 4 days of covid to kill her. Again, this is anecdotal but you can't deny this thing kills way easier than a flu.

I probably think they skew the numbers somehow. For example I had most of the symptoms since march: very dry, almost nonexistent cough, shortness of breath and lung pain - symptoms I've never had before with a flu, and went to one of the official testing centers in Berlin and they refused to test me for covid, however they later send me the diagnosis through the mail and it was U04.9 V. which corresponds to SARS. So what does that tell me? That they knew I had it but didn't want to count me in the official numbers. I guess they do a similar trick with the death numbers.

You're right but at the same time from my point of view at least where I live is a bit different. Lockdown here is not that strict, people are literally going to the park every day like it's a vacation, streets are relatively full, grocery stores and restaurants are still packed, yet the numbers are down.

I personally had 3 "waves", with each wave carrying different primary symptoms (SOB first, palpitations second, now blood clots?).

I strongly believe the virus is capable of replicating in all the other organs which exhibit ACE2 and that with a lowered immune system response cause by the ability of the virus to attack T cells via CD147 it would do so even after contracting it the first time.

I think I might have had it too, but more neural symptoms. Started end of January. I had an oral exam with a bunch of Chinese students, so I guess that might have been a problem?

- SOB, some days really severe
- Chest tightness
- Heart racing so bad I once went to a hospital
- Heartbeat feels slightly arrhythmic still after almost 3 months
- Back pain, physician couldn't find anything, apparently it was coming from a nerve and reaching around the chest
- Migraine with aura
- Twitching in left hand, coming from the root nerve
- Stiff knee
- Highly sensitive to light
- Tingling, burning sensation at left temple
- Tinnitus at least twice daily
- Sleep apnea
- Periods of complete normalcy in between

Took two months to get better, but there's still slight SOB and a weird feeling, also tinnitus sometimes and rarely a tingling sensation at the left temple.

Yeah, she was more exposed but the point is that she's exposed to countless other illnesses before and this was the one that killed her.

The diagnosis they sent me was SARS, not the covid-19 specifically. So the thing is they acknowledged I have "a" SARS but they didn't want to put me under the number of cases.

I think that was mostly from people misunderstanding (and media misrepresenting) some research. It attacks tcells, like HIV, but unlike HIV it doesn't take them over to produce more of itself (which is what makes it stay forever). People read it attacks tcells "like HIV" and went off on that.

SOB 'felt' bad, but wasn't showing on my pulse oxymeter. At my worst, I hit 96 while resting in my room. Right now I'm a stable 99 down to 98 if I go up the stairs. When I had palpitations I hit 130bpm at rest. I walked totally fine, felt vaguely fatigued or more like incredibly sleepy. Energy levels were totally there, just felt like sleeping 12h+ every day. The sense of smell was one of the weirdest things. I did not notice it went away. As in, it went away so gradually that I didn't notice until one morning like any other I opened the window and suddenly I could smell the trees outside. That was the moment when I felt sure I got it. Initially I thought it was a bacterial infection or something. Then a few days later after recovering my smell my flatmate tells me he didn't just have 'hayfever cough' but actually experienced high fever and full blown dyspnea (apparently worse than mine). The bloody fucker initially told me it was 'probably just his hayfever acting up' and lied about any other symptoms but then I guess he wanted to stay delusional for his own peace of mind. Interestingly, it gave me further evidence I already got it. During the time he had no symptoms we were hanging out together every day. After he got the cough, I stayed a bit distanced but this is a small house with poor ventilation. My symptoms didn't get worse though, they actually kept improving at the same rate as always. If I didn't get it in the past, I would have totally gotten just by hanging out in the kitchen/living room.

The quality of the health care system matters little when there is no treatment for the disease in question, much less in a nation like Germany where physicians like me are penalized for using off-label treatments. This is why the best German psychiatrists usually practice in Austria and Switzerland.

Germany took the south Korean approach - bias the sampling by testing as many healthy persons as possible which will inevitably capture healthy persons owing to the 9% false positive rate of it. Germans and South Koreans spammed testing and when testing 100ks without the disease, a portion of them will test showing it and being healthy persons bias the COVID-19 mortality downward.

I'm just turned 30 and i'm in great shape and live a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and exercise. Assuming what I had/have is covid, then the symptoms are incredibly mild except for SOB which is not fun even though i'm not struggling too much (it's very uncomfortable). I've had no fever whatsoever and I'm barely coughing and my lung/chest pain lasted for just a couple days. I've actually had way nastier flu's in my life before, where I wouldn't be able to sleep because I felt like coughing my lungs out.

Do you guys think this virus is "normal"?
"normal" as in something that mutated on it's own from an animal to humans without external help.

Given what it's being revealed overtime about it's effects, it's the weirdest shit I have ever heard
>survives just fine in heat and cold so summer dealing with it is not an option
>can survive on plastic, metal, wood, paper and other kind of places (time may vary)
>from 14 to 28 days on incubation
>host meanwhile can be asymptomatic
>asymtomatic hosts are infectious while on incubation
>symptoms can go from very mild to extreme requiring ventilators support
>it attacks the T cells
>the attacks on the T cells compromises the production of anti-bodies
>after your body gets over the virus, since your production of anti-bodies will be very small (because of your fucked T cells) you can suffer from reinfection
>the virus can duplicate themselves in organs such as the liver, lungs, intestine and kidneys
>it's unknown whatever the damage to these organs is permanent or not
>the virus can trigger a cytokine storm
>having any kind of additional illiness, being overweight or being old severely compromises your chances of survival
>it takes from 6 to 8 weeks for your system to flush that shit entirely, in some cases even more

I have gone there from time to time to check on the links they post.
The things i have heard coming from the media in the last week, where things i read there over a month ago. And that has been a consistent pastern.
The reason i am freaking out a bit right now is because of the responses you get if you ask about the progression of this pandemic from here, or if there will be a second wave. There is mocking and then there are nightmare scenarios.
I did not take them to serous, until i read a professor in Australia coming out and saying a vaccine will probably never happen, once again, mirroring the responses i got when i asked /pol about it weeks ago.
And the reasons they gave me... where the same as those the professor was talking about in the article.

How true is it that the symptoms can go drastically from very mild to severe?

Tbh I think the reason the Xray shows negative so many times despite many people experiencing shortness of breath is because it causes inflammation around the ribs. Sometimes when I inhale I hear my ribs pop like a knuckle, I also think this is why lots of people experience backpain as well.

That's just off the top of my head the stuff they were wrong about, then there's the misrepresented stuff that they peddle as coronavirus exclusive yet can happen with even the common cold, even if rare (no, they are generally not much more common with corona):
>can cross the blood brain barrier (true but so can the flu)
>can cause Guillain-Barré syndrome (true but so can the flu)
>can attack the nervous system and organs (see above)
>can cause anemia (it may attack red blood cells BUT even the flu can cause post infection red blood cell drops, we don't know which one it is)
>reinfection and reactivation (the former is true for any virus if you're hit mildly enough, and the latter is also true for a lot of viruses, again the normal flu can do this)
Go look at nasty cases of the seasonal flu. Now imagine if you put those in laser focus, you'd think the flu would end the world. No doubt corona is worse than a flu, but you can make a doomsday scenario out of anything if you really want.

Nothing beyond that old paper mentioning the HIV proteins (which weren't even specific to HIV) and those reports of people in SK and China testing negative, being sent home, then testing positive a few days later (which most experts have chalked up to the test having a 30% false negative rate).
It was confirmed that the virus does attack T cells and destroy them however it does not replicate using them (which HIV is able to do and allows it to persist indefinitely in a person's body).

There are a few theories from researchers that the immune system being attacked is why it takes so long for the virus to finally clear from the body.

>> No.11584530

>>11584488
Well, first off, do you know it's coronavirus? Since the exact symptoms of corona vary wildly, just about anyone who gets sick could attribute it to corona, yet every year before this surfaced there were hundreds of thousands of people getting sick in the US alone of various diseases, some very serious. My point is, it doesn't have to be corona.

Do you have any other symptoms at all? If you don't, I would say odds are you do not have corona, especially since none of your family members got sick. This doesn't mean you're in the clear, just because it isn't corona doesn't mean you shouldn't have it checked, there are worse things than corona out there, and they didn't go away because corona came around.
>>11584512
Yeah the whole HIV thing was grossly misinterpreted (maliciously, in some cases). I too think it just attacks T cells, weakening your immune system and, if you're not strong enough, possibly not being cleared properly leading to it reactivating later when your immune system lets its guard down.

I got it in China, as a small cold that never got really healed. Early Feb. Two weeks later I got a flu. It was very light and almost without symptoms.

So there's some speculation that using hydroxychloroquine or other anti-virals may cause the patient to fight off the virus too quickly to develop anti-bodies. In this case the patient may end up being reinfected later and the damage from the previous treatment may increase risk of heart attack or other stuff.

There also seems to be some research about anti-body measurements. It seems that some patients (notably younger ones) seem to have less anti-bodies than others and that some patients seem to lose anti-bodies over time.

Highest temp recorded for me was 101.8 I believe, but despite it never going above 102 I felt weaker than any other fever I've had. On the second day decreased appetite, constant headache, and a sore throat developed. Was hard for me to sleep, I was extremely uncomfortable and sweating profusely to the point the bed would be soaked. My nose was runny the second day, normal the third, runny the 4th, etc.

Fever broke on the 4th day and symptoms started clearing up each day. Fatigue was gone a week after but then I lost my sense of smell which has been gradually coming back. Never had trouble breathing, O2 sat was always 98-99%. Had some coughs here and there but majority of it was accompanied by phlegm, didn't really have a dry cough.

Quarantine high risk individuals, open things back up, mass produce the most effective treatment available.

I'm a little worried that the rate of asymptomatic cases might be lower than that study shows because things haven't totally slumped off yet. If it's true (which it more than likely is, this disease is highly infectious and lockdown measures in the US are pretty lax desu), infection rate and death rate should make a freefall anytime now. But when?

Does the disease lay dormant in some people for much longer than 2 weeks?

None of these samples have been rigorously randomly selected so there might be some minor bias involved but being close to or above two orders of magnitude larger than expected shows there was something very wrong with the models. The interesting part is that these samplings are coming in from across the country so it's unlikely to be just a random local fluke.
No doubt it is going to be terrible for the vulnerable populations but for everyone else, the "cure" we've been going through has been much worse than the likely symptoms we're going to suffer when we catch it, if we haven't already.

Once herd immunity is achieved. The higher the contagiousness the larger the percentage that must be infected and recovered before herd immunity is accomplished. My guestimate is we need 75%-80% before we have herd immunity due to the highly infectious nature of the virus. Luckily all of this also means that for non-vulnerable populations the complication and death risks are very low.

We still don't know if immunity lasts more than a few months or if it can be counted on at all desu

You actually need to run a 70% accurate test 4 times to have a >90% confidence level

One way to find out and it's not through causing a large famine.

>the whole HIV thing was grossly misinterpreted
>I too think it just attacks T cells
The "HIV thing" was literally just a description of proteins on the outer shell that have an identical sequence to HIV
We then find out that this virus (like HIV) can enter white blood cells using the exact protein explained in the paper
It's just that the payload is not a retrovirus and as such rather than doing anything productive in the white blood cell, it just leads to the death

I truly don't understand how people have such a difficult time understanding this simple fact
Because the people who made the initial finding were pressured into pulling their paper?
Yeah real scientific guys
