Seriously, just what IS a "case" of Covid ?
Notice how we went from Covid to coronavirus and now back to Covid again.
How is Covid determined and what is a "case"
Does a case mean something as simple as having a couple of symptoms (common to flu) or is a case a hospital stay ?
not even that, all these NFL players tested positive, that’s a case. Anyone that tests positive, with no symptoms whatsoever is a case. It makes for a better scamdemic.
“What is Covid-19?
“spirit of the air (aeros) ..that works in the sons of disobedience” Ephesians 2:2
Theft..
“he (Satan) comes to kill, steal and destroy” Gospel of John
Thou Shall not steal. Exodus
I want it mandated that governors who throw out numbers of new “cases” reported in order to justify stricter lockdown measures must list names and cities or towns of each of those new cases. I don’t believe them for a minute.
a case of malaria
a case of typhoid
a case of rona
Essentially a way to scare the public to death.
The last paragraph of the document in Post 30 indicates you might be a Covid Criminal if you suspect you might have it and don’t turn yourself in.
“This position statement, Interim-20-ID-02, updates the standardized case definition for COVID-19, including asymptomatic infections caused by SARS-CoV-2, and retains COVID-19 as a nationally notifiable condition. The updates clarify clinical, laboratory, epidemiologic linkage, and vital records criteria for case ascertainment and case classification based on the continued evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the probable case classification is updated, and a suspected case classification is added.”
A cold that can land you in the hospital is probably something you should take seriously. Our survival rate in this county is 99.7%. The county south of us is 94%. In the country where we are moving next year, it is 100%. Why 100%? No elder care facilities in that county.
NICELY PUT RJ!-—Pretty much in line with what is now said about the “star” vaccine now being touted: “It’s 95% effective on a virus that’s 100% imaginary”....having said all that, I keep returning to my fondest wish for the past 7-8 months: that Anthony Fauci should face a new Nuremberg Trial. SOMEONE or some group should be held accountable for this level of human and property damage-—this is all being done in the name of the same interests. Covid as we know is just a cover-—continues to shape up as the biggest scam in human history-—relative to the actual damage it’s caused. If this was something just now proposed as an “idea”, we might say, “hell with it, let’s just laugh in their face, let ‘em have their fun”, but this is something on a different level altogether-—this is that same, life-as-we-know-it-changing idea put into practice in the real world we all live in.
In our State (Washington) a case is anyone testing Positive!
So suspected, presumed, probable and confirmed, based upon one or several factors. Way too loose of a definition.
I think the poster wants to know what is being called a case in the news cycle reporting or statewide reporting.
It might be more accurate to speak of positivity rate, death rate and confirmed cases. Unfortunately all of the above have been confounded by junk data, so there are virtually no stats that are definitive within a reasonable level of certainty.
That’s the question ... test positive for what ?
Bingo !
So I take it that I nailed down what you are looking for and I also assume you are making a similar point that I made (that it’s just confusion and there is no good standard definition of what a case is).
Honestly, I believe that IS the point - to make it so nebulous that no one person can make a cogent claim against the “data” since the goalposts are always moving.
My point would be that since the goalposts are always moving there is no reasonable method to determine what a case is unless a specific set of guidelines are issued as to what is considered a “case” and that said standards were universally applied (consistency) so everyone was on the same page.
I’d like to see a case be confirmed in a logical manner like a positive PCR result with a cycle threshold of no greater than 25Iand an positive antigen test (I believe Binax if I am recalling the name correctly has a 97% accuracy) along with meaningful clinical symptoms - not just sniffles and minor tiredness with no fever or other symptoms. Those types of people should be receiving early treatment with proper supplementation of HCQ/Zinc/D3/Vitamin C, ivermectin, budesonide, etc. or whatever cocktail of meds is shown to be effective without all of the bogus political hoopla.
There are so many people that have died unnecessarily due to orange man bad syndrome that it is simply criminal malpractice. The news media in almost all forms is just feeding hysteria and misinformation and calling any wisdom counter to their myopic worldview the same without proof.
Though I can't remember ever reading the commentary you cite, that's exactly the point ... that there is no point.
No one knows what a case is, and everyone accepts the word as if it exists, and they begin with cases (pl) and run off ad infinitum, not the least of which is governmental persecution.
There was a conference I believe in July maybe June that fauchi attended where he spoke about PCR tests and cycle threshold stating that when you get beyond 30 there really is nothing significant anymore and everything becomes amplified and everything looks significant. his statement was basically that he knows of no one culturing anything out that far.
Not sure if that’s the commentary you’re referring to, maybe enlighten me a little bit because I can’t recall what else it might be.
"I also assume you are making a similar point that I made ... "
I said I had never heard you comment thus.
My statement was:
"So I take it that I nailed down what you are looking for and I also assume you are making a similar point that I made (that it’s just confusion and there is no good standard definition of what a case is)."
Look inside the parentheticals for the explanation.
Look how it screwed up this cruise line:
