Is it interesting? I found it more "random factoid."
Article about Study showing high accuracy on dogs sniffing out people with virus. If it pans out this could be a nice complement to actual testing even if only used in areas like airports or large scale traffic spots.

I tipped off the Karen's here so they can go film and doxx him
Cool stuff - here's the actual study if anyone is interested. Agree it could be used for screening in large crowds, as ~94% accuracy is better than the ~80% accuracy of the PCR test. Too many false negatives in the PCR test (~20%) vs. ~3% false negatives (the worst outcome, as that makes infected people think they're not infected) from the dogs, although I don't think the comparison is actually fair, since the PCR test can be on anyone and the dogs were sniffing samples known to be positive or negative. The dogs might not do as well for people early in an infection, with lower viral loads, just like the PCR test (and these were dogs sniffing samples not actual people, which could make it harder).

This was obvious months ago. Heat & AC + migrant farm workers heading over the border for harvests as Mexico was teeming with CV

Oy vey, you're way off again, I never said say that climate itself drives the chicomvuirus. In fact in a recent reply directly to you I specifically noted the connection that climate, be it the scorching summer in the sunbelt or cold in the N/E in winter months, drives human behavior more indoors or outdoors. It's human behavior as in close contact, for example the increased younger crowd gatherings being reported , that determines the transmission. I'll give you a mulligan.
Btw, the NOLA outbreak has been linked to mardi gras and it being largely seeded by NY and Cali visitors in late Feb--you probably noted this somewhere in the pinned threads anyway.

@OntheBanks you can read up on the Abbot serology test here
Since you say you had no symptoms except for September and October but have CoVid antibodies, I have to wonder how likely you think it is that you are nearly patient zero in the USA... or if you have gotten such a slight case after CoVid was known to be here you never noticed it.. or you are in the 5% outside the best 95% confidence level this test has.
This is not an attack on you or your experience.. more real-world information like that you shared is always good to get.

Only thing that confused me was at the end of the original article was posted it said:
“Von Koeckritz-Blickwede said that the next step will be to train dogs to differentiate Covid samples from other diseases like influenza.”
So I guess they can just smell infections in general and not Covid specifically?
Either way, amazing stuff.
Fair, but I would think a one-week or so heat wave up here vs. 2-3+months of constant similar heat in the sunbelt states would impact the human behavior response differently. And at least what I have seen--which is mostly as a married dude with kids in Somerset Cty and recent family vacation in Cape May (in other words my wild and crazy partying dayz be over )--this state seems pretty disciplined with masks and social distancing.
My point is you said 3 wasn’t adequate. That must mean you think they run out of healthy food choices
Sure did with zero handouts. Mom worked, dad worked 3-4 jobs at a time and never bitched. We are lots of Campbell’s soup, PBJ and grilled cheese. Never went on vacations, never bought the newest coolest gadgets, but always had TWO parents making sure our lives would be better than theirs.
The Key to Defeating COVID-19 Already Exists. We Need to Start Using It

I am referring, of course, to the medication hydroxychloroquine. When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be highly effective, especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.

I go to gas stations almost daily in Hillsborough for personal car or my work vehicles and equipment. The only gas station attendants that wear masks is the Quick Check. Very rarely do the other stations wear masks. I know of some that don't at all.

Let's add the most persuasive study we've yet seen on post-exposure prophylaxis to the studies that unequivocally show HCQ is ineffective in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COVID, as well as the very convincing, highly controlled macaque studies, showing no preventative or treatment benefit at all from HCQ. Below is the link to and an excerpt from the Spanish study referred to in the link above, which is a better, more complete study than the Boulware study (U of MN, also linked above) which came out in June.
This fairly large (1198 in the control group and 1116 in the HCQ group) randomized, controlled (but open label) study clearly showed that HCQ was ineffective, as per their conclusions: "Post-exposure therapy with HCQ did not prevent SARS-CoV-2 disease and infection in healthy individuals exposed to a PCR-positive case. Our findings do not support HCQ as postexposure 72 prophylaxis for Covid-19."
It also addressed some of the weaknesses in the Boulware study, including doing all of the following, which were not done for that study: PCR tests of all enrolled patients at the start, PCR test confirmation of all suspected infections that developed during the study, and PCR tests/antibody tests of all patients on Day 14. Every patient was visited at home on Day 1 and Day 14 and phone interviewed in-between to assess symptoms/compliance.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.20.20157651v1.full.pdf
Results: The analysis included 2,314 healthy contacts of 672 Covid-19 index cases identified between Mar 17 and Apr 28, 2020. A total of 1,198 were randomly allocated to usual care and 1,116 to HCQ therapy. There was no significant difference in the primary outcome of PCR-confirmed, symptomatic Covid-19 disease (6.2% usual care vs. 5.7% HCQ; risk ratio 0.89 [95% confidence interval 0.54-1.46]), nor evidence of beneficial effects on prevention of SARS-CoV-2 transmission (17.8% usual care vs. 18.7% HCQ).
I disagree with what you're implying. The country-to-country specific criteria is very important if you want to make a legitimate assessment of how any country is handling its governmental, and let's be honest, its citizenry response to the global chicomvirus comparatively. Broad-brush comparisons aren't very relevant.
So we can all agree that Germany is the standout student by far re: relatively comparable Western countries, no matter what "degree of difficulty" handicapping. (Now I would be very interested in learning exactly how/why German health experts were so far ahead of the class with much more immediacy in rolling out testing compared to every other "peer" western nation--but that's for a different political discussion.) But then you look at Italy, UK, Spain and France , who is doing better than the U.S. in your opinion? What other Euro nation would you want to compare with us, the tiny Netherlands? Line 'em up and have at it.
Most likely scenario is him being one of the asymptomatic, no?
The fact that he's citing the now-discredited Ford study and has completely ignored the randomized/controlled Boulware and Spanish post-exposure prophylaxis studies (in the patients he says should most benefit from HCQ) tells me he's extremely biased on this subject. He also continues to cite Dr. Zelenko, who has yet to actually publish any results despite claiming, since March, that he has the cure to COVID. Surely, if his HCQ/Zn/Az combo worked he would have shared his data with the world by now or have had someone else duplicate his work.
Took kids and their friends for ice cream today. Young couple in front of us, guy looked skinnier than a heroin addict, wife was morbidly obese. Every once in a while, I’d see him give me a glare and look down. I finally realized if any of the kids passed the 6ft line he was getting pissed. Then someone walked up to about maybe 4 ft away from her and the guy literally ran and jumped in front of the women to block her. Sorry, but If you are that unhealthy maybe you don’t need to wait in line to get ice cream. Maybe get it at the store or send some out for you. And you sure as hell don’t order a large like she did. For the record, everyone had masks on even though we were outside.
drove home from beach down college ave in New Brunswick and every kid i saw (about a dozen of them in seperate groups of 2) walking had a mask on...what the f...why...outdoors in area that has been basically barren for 4 months, empty streets...MASKS...WHY???
on another note, at the beaches, all races of people, all ages, and all likely not from red states all within close proximity in the water. BS narratives from some and msm going to persist though, its unfortunate
Could be.. the context in the locked thread was surrounding how long CoVid has been here and whether anyone could have symptoms for 7-10 months. OnTheBanks did not say that.. just told his personal story. I was just following up with him here, providing a link, because the other thread got locked. Not interested in belaboring a point from a locked thread.
why not? If they are comfortable with it.. why not? no skin off your nose. maybe they have CoVid and don't want to spread it while getting some of New Brunswick's version of fresh air.
Did you really have to share that story? You just said a lot more about YOU than you did that family.
yeah dozen people all with corona walking down College Ave in groups of 2...sounds plausible
But do you think they stocked up on guns and ammo like you suggested at the start of shutdown?
Didn't you say the same quote about Dr. Drew? :Laughing
Or the doc that posted news so fake he deleted the tweet you quoted. :Laughing
Pick better Twitter sources.
Sure that was smart but wearing masks while walking campus is being crazy and paranoid.
I thank God you're only responsible for yourself and no other humans.
