Can not wait too long or the treatment will not work.

Clearly, this program isn't for you. But, that will free up resources for those who haven't been as fortunate or who won't be as fortunate in the future.

Oh, those who are vaccinated very likely not need to worry about symptoms, ox levels, or where to seek treatment.

And yet I bet you money those fully vaxed are the very ones testing multiple times and keeping the test from being available for those that have REQUIREMENTS vs wants.
Again, no reason to test UNLESS symptomatic. Those that need them can't find them because of the "oh its free" attitude. Again, NOTHING is free.

They are willing to give a person monoclonal antibody without a test?????

They are vaccinated and boosted.

Had they not been exposed and never tested, they would be going about their business as usual.

I am sure this is not an isolated incident!!

They believe they are catching about 1/3 of actual cases for count...so if they tell you 1 million new cases reported, you can be fairly certain there are 2 others that fall exactly into the situation you describe above. The other thing is that MOST of the patients "hospitalized" with it were actually reporting to the hospital for something OTHER than symptoms. Incidental findings.

I'm not familiar with too many viruses that just hang out in the dirt waiting for a barefoot child to come along---most require some form of human to human contact to "be fruitful and multiply", or have animal reservoirs to hang out. But, I will say this, although I know of no formal study: It is the experience of most doctors that we spend most of our 3rd year of medical school ill with one kind of cold/flu/virus or another after coming into contact with real patients for the first time. Then, we seem to rarely get sick, so there may be something to the "strengthened immune system" theory (anecdotal observation only)

As to the second part, hookworms are ubiquitous---Ancylostoma duodenale in Europe and Necator americanus primarily in the warmer climates of the western hemisphere. So if true, I would expect to see the "hookworm effect" here as well as Europe (although to a lesser degree since our kids are more likely to have shoes). However, in the rural south of 50-150 years ago, hookworm was a significant cause of childhood anemia and even mental retardation

Thank you!

Here are the number of deaths by year in the US:

2020 3,358,814
2019 2,854,838
2018 2,839,305

Life expectancy in 2019 -78.7 years, in 2020-77.0 years

Draw your own conclusions

Knowing you test positive should you delay your next booster?

Why not give those who test positive an "immunity card " similar to the vaccine card?

Testing to know if you could use M.A.B treatment is the main reason I would want to test.

A friend told me his wait due to availability was 5 days. He'll probably be ok by then ..

Perhaps because a positive test does not provide any information about immunity.

How many of those were obese? (40%) Morbidly obese (18%) or just generally unfit?

Correct...............

[ex34449]

And I'm sure the accuracy of the reporting coming out of that continent is not to be questioned. haha

Probably just about as accurate as the data coming from China
