The results show 40.5 percent of the confirmed cases of the illness are among people who show no symptoms of the infection at all. Rates rose among certain groups including pregnant women (54%), air and cruise travelers (53%), and care home residents or staff (48%).

In other words, less dangerous than the common cold for most people
BEIJING, China — Four in 10 COVID-19 patients are asymptomatic carriers of the virus responsible for over 800,000 deaths in the United States, a new study warns. Researchers from China say a global study of almost 30 million people found “silent” cases of the virus are twice as prevalent than previous estimates feared.

My wife and I are recovering from covid, it's been two weeks this friday. She didn't get it as bad as I did. We both are still a little dizzy and light headed. My sense of smell and taste are returning. I'm extremely lucky it staid out of my lungs. I'm still taking Ivermectin until it's totally gone. My health care provider kept their distance on this one, my sense of it is had I needed acute care for respiratory failure they would have seen me. Short of that I was on my own, I chose not to be vaccinated and got what I deserved. Maine's governor doesn't get much press but ranks right up there as a power/control freak with the worst of them. Our current shortage of health care workers is self inflicted by mandate.
ReplyDeleteGot what you deserved is, I guess, one way to think of it. Respectfully I disagree with that concept. You simply got what you got, and like well over 99% of people, you survived. You now have a lasting and robust immunity that likely far exceeds those that were coerced into getting the jab.I like you got it, was sick as stink, probably warranted hospitalization but I avoided it thankfully. I knew what awaited as an inpatient. Sorry you had to deal with another "provider" that decided not to provide care. Be blessed, you are likely much better protected than the compliant masses. Glad you are on the mend.
DeleteAmen!
DeleteMy health care provider kept their distance on this one,I chose not to be vaccinated and got what I deserved.
DeleteThis is how I should have phrased it. As that seemed to be their attitude on the matter.
I always knew it was when not if I'd catch it. I'm glad it's over for us. I believe,as you seem to, that now my wife and I have a lasting immunity. Thank you for the encouraging words. We never at any point were afraid, as the odds were for us all along.
Indeed they were (and are) Scruff. Be well.
DeleteWife and I became sick a couple days after contact with a confirmed case.
DeleteI immediately started us on the Ziverdo Kit (Ivm/Doxycycline/Zinc).
We both have businesses with very little contact with others, so, we kept on working.
Five days later it was over, although I did have a lingering post-nasal drip for about two weeks.
But for the lies comiong down from on high, this scenario could have been repeated all over the country, and world.
Instead........death.
The insanity of telling an infected individual that there's no treatment and to go home until you either get better, or go to hospital can be illistrated by this:
You cut your arm, and it gets infected.
Healthcare tells you to go home and wait till it, either gets better, or turns gangrenous, forcing you to go to hospital where they promptly cut it off.
Well, if the Chicoms say it is so, then so it is.
ReplyDeleteDo they not understand how viral load works? Jeez. At any given time you have multiple different viruses in your system, depending on what and who you've been exposed to. General the viral load is small and your immune system is successfully working against it. You are only "sick" (as in have an illness) when the viral load is high enough to overwhelm the immune system. If you run enough tests (often incorrectly), you'll detect the small viral loads. But you aren't sick and generally not contagious. Testing healthy people and then calling them "sick" with no visible symptoms is pure panic propaganda.
ReplyDeleteI had delta and it was two days where I basically felt like a mild hangover with some body ache. I know multiple people with omicron who basically just have the sniffles. Big whoop. Common cold. Just like every new flu strain, it becomes weaker with every new variant.
Yeah, except we found out some time ago that asymptomatic transmission is very rare. This isn't just moving the goal post, this is moving the goal post, covering it with tooth paste then shoving the whole f'n thing back into the tube. The sheeple will of course, swallow this without question and line up for more poison. The blue state tyrants (Governors) will all double down on their power grabs and drive their economies further into the dirt for no good reason and saving no lives whatsoever. All on the taxpayer dime. Get out your checkbooks!
ReplyDeleteRemember: a "cases" is defined as a positive test, not someone with symptoms nor requiring care.
ReplyDeleteThis the issue, the way have have bastardized the term "cases" and weaponized it against the the general public and sheeple. Stop mass testing, test only those symptomatic, and more importantly provide early care to the high risk folks. Suddenly the headlines would change, but we wouldn't want that now would we?
DeleteLike the NFL, they were getting too many positive tests, so they reduced testing
Delete1) Because China would never lie.
ReplyDelete2) Because the tests are so accurate, and never return false positives.
3) Pay no attention to the fact that in 95% of all surveys, results cannot be replicated (i.e. they're simply full of crap).
This is not a pandemic.
ReplyDeleteIt is an epidemic.
Of testing.
