Correct. I didn't pay attention to which thread this was.
I will delete my post. Could you delete your quote of my post, please?
Sorry if this was already asked. Is there any information regarding whether mosquitoes will be vectors for the Covid-19 virus? I don't hear of people getting the flu from mosquitoes; but, Zika and West Nile were passed my mosquitoes.
What's your Vector Victor?Doesn’t appear mosquitoes would be a vector.
Doesn’t appear mosquitoes would be a vector.
Question for @Native
1) If social isolation was purely an attempt to flatten the curve where are we now on that curve?
2) Theoretically at some point if the assumption is that everyone is going to get COVID-19 ... don't we have to come out of the isolation to accomplish that ... I realize we are not technically isolated in some cabin up in the woods but depending how effective the isolationism is working this could delay some people for quite a long time.
3) I recognize that we are not going to return to the way things were prior in just one week ... but once these isolation orders are lifted could we see a spike in infections again?
How many coronavirus cases have been found in each U.S. state
Using data from the COVID Tracking Project, we’re following how each state is responding to COVID-19.www.politico.com
Updates...
~472K tests (+ 300K since Saturday)
64180 positive
900 deaths
Mar 25 11:40 PM central.
Some observations and predictions:
On track for 1M tested, 100,000 cases, 1000 deaths by the end of March.
Also on track for 1M tests per week next week, maybe even 2M. That should at least double each of the first 2-3 weeks in April if the swab, tube and transport media supply can handle the testing volume in the US, not to mentin PPE. Up to 16 EUA’s now. Additional authorizations under some of those to broaden the access.
FDA allowing state labs to suddenly regulate tests within their state (ala NY state, who does their own rigorous certifications normally) inadvertently has burdened states unequipped or prepared to evaluate tests from every lab now applying for an EUA, as they struggle to increase their own testing capacity. In trying to broaden access, the FDA has essentially abdicated regulatory authority and punted it to the states that don’t have infrastructure or experience in regulating others vs. being regulated.
International demand for tests is extremely high as well, so it doesn’t appear that there will be a slow down in test production for the foreseeable future.
Signed up for another blood donation at our local Red Cross (long time donor & O+) for tomorrow afternoon.
Kind of curious if they'll test for COVID-19 during the blood drive appointment ... does anyone know?
Really doubt they have that capability. Probably 25 more questions on the pre-quiz.
