Nearly 40% of hospitalized adults in US for coronavirus are between 20 and 54 years old https://www.washingtonexaminer...-20-and-54-years-old A large portion of adults being hospitalized from the coronavirus are younger, though most deaths remain among older adults. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a report Wednesday that showed that 38% of the hospitalizations in the United States were from adults between the ages of 20 and 54 years old. "I think everyone should be paying attention to this," Stephen Morse, a professor of epidemiology at Columbia University, told the New York Times. "It’s not just going to be the elderly. There will be people age 20 and up. They do have to be careful, even if they think that they’re young and healthy." Deborah Birx told reporters on Wednesday that she is "concerned" about reports from Europe that the coronavirus could be hitting young people hard, too. "We are concerned about the early reports coming out of Italy and France," Birx said. "There are concerning reports out of France and Italy about some young people getting seriously ill and getting very ill in the ICUs." Despite the warning, it appears that the coronavirus poses "no significant mortality in the children." A study from Italy found that 99% of deaths from the coronavirus came from people that had previous medical conditions. Over 8,000 have gotten the coronavirus in the U.S., while 143 people have died. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

I recall a conversation my former venture capital firm once had with an unnamed something-star general. We were looking to invest in an antiviral venture (back when H5N1 reared it’s ungodly head) but were concerned that a company in Canada held certain manufacturing IP rights. My firm asked his opinion whether he was concerned if that company could strategically hold up supplies if an H5N1 outbreak occurred domestically, resulting in a national emergency. His answer: If a company held the answer to manufacturing a compound that only it could produce fast enough to save millions of American lives and it refused to do so, well... by the next morning it would be in American hands. Fortunately we don’t have to invade Canada and if the WH tomorrow says several million doses will be produced domestically, I don’t think it will be at retail cost.  | |||

Is it used prophylacticaly, or only after infection? | |||

Hopefully we don't need to invade France.  I will be really interested in how much we can reduce the cost of Gilead's remdesivir, which will perhaps be co-therapy, but certainly an alternative if in vivo studies pan out."And gentlemen in England now abed, shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day" | |||

I should have said Canada or France for that matter.  | |||

It works by allowing zinc to disrupt the rna sequencing of the virus in the cell. Zinc will kill the virus. Zinc on its own is not readily available to do it. I saw a Dr. on YouTube explain it. I will try to find it. I think it was MedCram. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

Young adults can have medical conditions too, such as diabetes, asthma, cystic fibrosis, etc. | |||

Dual effect - it reduces transmission (confirmed, and likely by reducing viral load - the actual mechanism is by changing the pH inside the cell, inhibiting replication), but it also reduces the more severe effects of associated pneumonia, often the real "killer" in the equation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32074550 "And gentlemen in England now abed, shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day" | |||

OK, went back and rewatched the presscon- Dr. Birx actually responded to the question. Basically she said they had discussed that with the President earlier that day. The issue is that some things will look good in cell culture or small animals, but have little or no effect in humans. She affirmed that they are looking at all the evidence, including anecdotal reports. | |||

Here is a basic timeline to follow: https://www.axios.com/timeline...tm_source=whatfinger If China had come forward just 3 weeks earlier, it is believed that there would have been 95% less people infected and the geographic spread would have been greatly reduced. https://www.southampton.ac.uk/.../covid-19-china.page I encourage you to read this article published by the Washington Times: https://www.washingtonpost.com...read-farther-faster/ ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Got an email from Ventura County saying CDC is no longer confirming cases and presumptive cases will now be treated as confirmed. I expect the numbers to jump then, since we had 1 confirmed and 12 presumptive and now it's just being called 13 confirmed. ETA Local lab will be giving final results. ...Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, was just a freight train coming your way... | |||

If a test is inaccurate via a lack of specificity or selectivity versus other tests, it can cause more harm than good. | |||

Interesting, not surprising, and correct. Much of what we think we know is based on only a few weeks with this bad boy - and even less fiddling with its structure and activity, but we have historical experience with closely related - sometimes very closely related - analogs. Much of what we do early - or try - will be very much Spock's "best guess."

That analogy doesn't fit. In this case the tests that were evaluated yielded a high number of false positives, and false negatives. That means you'll be treating people that don't need treatment, and those that think they just have the flu would be infecting others. That is huge when it comes to a situation like this.

A test that yields unacceptably high false positives and false negatives is, arguably, worse than no test at all. Back in my early days of software design I was tasked with taking over a project started by a software designer who'd left the company. I was having a helluva time until I realized, one day, that the code commenting he'd put in was often wildly inaccurate. When I stopped relying on what his comments claimed his code was doing, and instead figured out for myself what his code was really doing, my job became significantly easier. As analogies go: Not a particularly good one, but a damn sight closer than the "dim flashlight" one. "America is at that awkward stage.
