I hopefully get my work paying for my antibody test. How weird would it be for me to have a positive test and then have nothing show up on antibody testing. If it can happen, it will be me!

Welp it’s been in the US since December at least, I know this says otherwise. But the more we learn, the more I’m inclined to say it was here late last year spreading. |

I agree, I think it was here as soon as November if not October but whatever. It calls into questioning the testing. I don't mean that as conspiratorial but simply we weren't looking for Covid back then. Of course now if you get ran over by a drunk driver, who was texting and and a heart attack behind the wheel you died from Covid. |

1) R0 is an average not an absolute 2) Exponential growth Hypothetically a few people expatriate from Wuhan who were asymptomatic or have mild illness and decent hygiene. Is the disease over here? Yes. But if they are more socially isolated while over here, or just by random chance they may not pass the disease to anyone, or one person who doesn't pass it on to anyone else, so the disease dies out. Also, it takes a while for an infected population to reach a critical mass where you are going to find large and sudden increases in caseload. If I assume a 30% day over day growth in cases, how long does it take me to get over 1000 cases? 27 days. |

France, for example, reduced their R0 by 77%, from 2.9 to 0.67. |

I kind of want to have the anti body test taken. I had all the symptoms and went to the dr because I was coughing a lot, had serious trouble breathing at night, woke up with crazy chills. It was a sickness I’d never felt and the shortness of breath lasted days. I went to the dr and while I was in the waiting room I read up on covid symptoms because it had been in the news a lot, but not here yet and I was like holy shit I have it. Went in for my appointment failed the flu test and they just prescribed me an inhaler(because when I was a child I had asthma) and told me to take Tylenol/ibuprofen and call them back if it gets worse.
