Maybe… I’m skeptical because I can’t think of a mechanism that would cause more serious harm but allow for more long haulers. I’d have guessed that people with more damage would be more long haulers.
I suppose there could be an autoimmune component, women are generally overrepresented in that category. They’re also more likely to seek care, and more likely to have other ‘long-haul’ type diseases like CFS, POTS, fibromyalgia, etc that are dubious to diagnose at best.
I have some other stories buried in my bookmarks somewhere.
Anything specific you’re trying to say with these?
We analysed data from 4182 incident cases of COVID-19
Yale bro’s thou
You asked about CFS - they mention that a lot or at least stuff that sounds like it to me.
Wasn’t meant as a question. Women are more likely to have a diagnosis of CFS and those similar diseases. I don’t have strong feelings about the validity of those diagnoses, but they aren’t on super solid ground.
It’s a collection of self reported symptoms from an app that doesn’t even do particularly well at what it tries to do. It’s interesting… it’s far from iron clad truth.
I’m interested in global analysis from countries / studies performed around the globe, not so much 5% of that globe with a slightly skewed view on Covid
But I’m also extremely interested in your small corner of the world and your analysis of very local conditions
Sure… then why are you being such a dick?
sorry, carry on, ignore the huge study and let’s follow the anectodital evidence from the chap not even on the covid ward anymore - sure
Aren’t you being the dick saying ‘long covid’ only affects the ‘weaker’ female??
I have no idea how you could take “hmmm i’ve seen worse outcomes with males anecdotally. Maybe women are more likely to seek care.” as “ignore the huge study”.
I also like how I’m “not even on the covid ward anymore”… I wish that was true.
“Aren’t you being the dick saying ‘long covid’ only affects the ‘weaker’ female??” Well sure, if I was saying that at all.
You clearly want to fight with someone today. That won’t be with me any more. I just wanted to talk about covid and ya are big time mad about me mildly questioning a study.
1% of the ND population has tested positive in the past two weeks.
jesus… how do they even see each other?
Yeah, the thinking is you can be contagious for 1-2 days before testing positive.
But perhaps a breath test is more similar to how contagious your breathing actually is.
If everyone got tested daily with these things (had to take to get into school, restaurants, etc) then some spread would still happen but it would be much more limited than we have today, even with more open than now.
New York has been seeing some local flare ups, and has been fighting these with very targeted shut downs. There are some signs that this could be working. On the other hand, statewide new cases were above 2,000 today for the first time since May. I think part of this is because they are doing lots of tests in the hot spots, but also could point to more widespread concern.
Anyone know why we don’t have Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Missouri data today? Even without it and several other states outstanding we are at 1k deaths for the first time in roughly a month.
ETA-Florida is in. Just under 1100 deaths today with quite a bit of data to go.
In 10 days there’s going to be millions of school kids going door to door asking for free candy.
I’m not sure if it’s been discussed here before but is trick or treating a no-go this year? It seems no worse than getting takeout, maybe even a bit safer since it’s outside, and certainly safer than going to the grocery store. I’m probably thinking about it a bit too optimistically though.
No idea if trick or treating is safe or not but I hope so as it seems like it’s going to happen.
Going house to house during a pandemic… What could go wrong?
The local news tonight was recommending making homemade candy luges to shoot candy downwards at the children from the safe distance of your porch or front step lmao
That article says “more likely to get it” and not necessarily the worst outcomes. And actually the NH data is in line with females being more likely to get it, at least based purely on testing. (Of course there could be underlying reasons why women could be testing positive more even if they actually do not get it more often than males.)
