Maybe this is the end of OSHA?
Furthermore can you even call them âantibodiesâ if they donât do that?
Itâs absolutely mind-boggling how political this crisis is in the U.S. Virtually everything about the Trump administrationâs, Republican lawmakersâ, and Conservative citizensâ response to, solutions for, and opinions about it are mired in partisan politics. They are determined to be against anything Democrats/Liberals want to do. And because Dems/Libs generally want to do things to help individuals and implement logical, scientific plans to mitigate the virus spread, everything Repubs/Conservatives want is a horror show.

I think I am going to order an antibodies test but want opinions first.
I had two vectors of exposure in late jan/early feb. One was my roommate, who works in public transportation in the hardest hit city in OC. The entire workplace got a weird cold-like illness in february and it originated from a worker there whos dad had recently returned from china and gotten sick.
The other vector was a nurse I had extremely close contact with in late Jan. She works at a hospital who recently publicized they had their first covid patients in january. She cared for one, and I just found out recently. They were keeping it very quiet. When we hung out she was sick, but at the time, covid was not a real concern in this area so I didnt think much of it.
I mean, I still think the odds are pretty low I have had it. I did get sick soon after these events but it was like a small sniffle with a weird cough and a feverish feeling in my body. Temp went to 99.4 but for me thatâs a fever.
I havent kept up with all the posts here, there are too many, but am I understanding that the consensus here is that the test is not reliable/worth it?
I just want some peace of mind because Iâm considered high risk by my doctor.
Not sure about well-known. Whenever I told Chinese people that I lived in Wuhan, theyâd talk about how hot it is not the discounts you can get on bat soup. The fact that people think that Chinese people regularly eat weird stuff like bat soup is an annoying stereotype.
But yeah there arenât too many places where you can get that type of stuff. I didnât even know the place existed and I lived in Wuhan for 2 years. Then again, it was at least an hour away by cab from where I was in the city. I had only been in the vicinity of the place twice.

Nah, pretty sure @Danspartan is the MVP.
Meanwhile in lolOhio, the state has a $2.7 billion rainy day fund but weâre not going to tap into that right now and instead slash education? DeWine was doing so well with the corona thing I forgot he was a Republican.

Oh, right, itâs total cases that double not new cases, so the death numbers would be even lower than I mentioned. Yeah I recall it being 2-4 days based on no shutdown, no measures to distance, etc.
Right, so basically I was just showing a random early start date to show how long it could fly under the radar, not trying to guess the start date. Keeping the variance in mind as well, which matters way more when the sample size is small, the every three day numbers in reality could be like: 1 1 2 4 4 6 8 12, etc⌠Youâre not guaranteed to get the expected value in total cases or even close to it until the sample size is much bigger.
This is a really good point, and the type of thing the Democrats absolutely suck at thinking of. Like, pandemic response should be a public health issue, so itâs characterized as such. But politically if you put it in DOD, youâd get way more money to it with way less fight.
Yeah Iâm curious whether the GOP is able to get us back to normal on fear mongering terrorism after this. Iâm sure some Democrat will be like âWTF guys, you just cheerleaded staying open while 250K people died, now you want us to freak out and spend billions because thereâs a 1% chance ISIS could kill 100 people?â
Flip side is it may have negative effects on trying to prevent mass shootings.
