Covid19-Sources

4/n Fact 3: RT-PCR testing for COVID-19 has a very low rate of false positives. This is both conceptually demonstrable https://t.co/FJugSlHBupAnd mathematical fact https://t.co/0ulcSm5lI0— Health Nerd (@GidMK) December 22, 2020

Why saying that only 6% of deaths are caused by the coronavirus is misleading and wrong

Ein kurzer Thread über die Fixierung der Pandemie-Leugner auf Christian Drostens Doktorarbeit. Daran hat mich nämlich von Beginn an irgendwas gestört, ich konnte nur nicht den Finger drauf legen. Inzwischen denke ich, ich kann es. 1/— Mela Eckenfels (@Felicea) January 9, 2021

Beim Deutschen Städte- und Gemeindebund #DStGB rechnet man damit, dass es frühestens ab Dezember 2021 (!) #Coronavirus-Impfungen für Menschen unter 60 Jahren gibt.Ach du Scheiße. /MShttps://t.co/1AYJnwwMam pic.twitter.com/rk1jh4GbYX— UnionWatch (@watch_union) December 14, 2020

ℹ️In den vergangenen Tagen gab es in den Medien und in der Politik Thesen darüber, dass Regionen besonders stark von #Corona belastet sind, in denen die #AfD besonders stark ist. Was ist da dran? Wir haben nachgerechnet. Es folgt ein langer #Thread #fehlendermindestabstand⬇️— Matthias Quent (@Matthias_Quent) December 6, 2020

Auch, wenn ich mich freue, das meine Recherchen in den "Corman-Drosten-Review" als hilfreich empfunden wurde. Was aber die Diskussion um den Report, um den Test der Charité und auch die PCR-Tests an sich vermissen lässt: Sie ist irrelevant. Das möchte ich versuchen einzuordnen.— Mela Eckenfels (@Felicea) December 4, 2020

Deutlicher Hinweis dafür, dass schwedische ICUs wieder triagieren. Patienten über 80 wurden in der letzten Woche deutlich weniger aufgenommen als zuletzt. Parallel weiterhin Anstieg in Aufnahmen der anderen Altersgruppen. 😢 https://t.co/D15nPVgFVZ— David Noisternig (@DNoisternig) December 9, 2020

Der Junge hatte erhebliche Vorerkrankungen. Seit seiner Geburt war er immer wieder wegen Lungenentzündungen und verschiedenen Infektionen im Krankenhaus gewesen. Für ihn hätte jedes Virus tödlich sein können, sagt eine Ärztin.

Es scheint eine recht starke Korrelation zu geben zwischen a) den Landkreisen, in denen die AfD sehr starke Wahlergebnisse erzielt, und b) der 7-Tage-Inzidenz an Corona-Neuinfektionen. Einen solchen Zusammenhang gibt es nur bei der AfD, bei keiner anderen Partei. Von Jürgen Fritz.

Objective To compare the inference regarding the effectiveness of the various non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) for COVID-19 obtained from different SIR models. Study design and setting We explored two models developed by Imperial College that considered only NPIs without accounting for mobility (model 1) or only mobility (model 2), and a model accounting for the combination of mobility and NPIs (model 3). Imperial College applied models 1 and 2 to 11 European countries and to the USA, respectively. We applied these models to 14 European countries (original 11 plus another 3), over tw...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a febrile respiratory illness. The disease has been etiologically linked to a novel coronavirus that has been named the SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV), whose genome was recently sequenced. Since it is ...

Context: The human development territories have been severely constrained under the Covid-19 pandemic. A common dynamics has been observed, but its propagation has not been homogeneous over each continent. We aimed at characterizing the non-viral parameters that were most associated with death rate.Methods: We tested major indices from five domains (demography, public health, economy, politics, environment) and their potential associations with Covid-19 mortality during the first 8 months of 2020, through a Principal Component Analysis and a correlation matrix with a Pearson correlation tes...

Seven weeks ago, South Korea and the U.S. had the same number of virus deaths. Today, South Korea has fewer than 300, and the U.S. has more than 70,000.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 viral load in the upper respiratory tract peaks around symptom onset and infectious virus persists for 10 days in mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease (n = 324 samples analysed). RT-PCR cycle threshold (Ct) values correlate strongly with cultivable virus. Probability of culturing virus declines to 8% in samples with Ct > 35 and to 6% 10 days after onset; it is similar in asymptomatic and symptomatic persons. Asymptomatic persons represent a source of transmissible virus.

Background Antigen point of care tests (AgPOCT) can accelerate SARS-CoV-2 testing. As first AgPOCT are becoming available, there is a growing interest in their utility and performance. Methods Here we compare AgPOCT products by seven suppliers: the Abbott Panbio™ COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test; the RapiGEN BIOCREDIT COVID-19 Ag; the Healgen® Coronavirus Ag Rapid Test Cassette (Swab); the Coris Bioconcept Covid.19 Ag Respi-Strip; the R-Biopharm RIDA®QUICK SARS-CoV-2 Antigen; the NAL von minden NADAL COVID19-Ag Test; and the Roche/SD Biosensor SARS-CoV Rapid Antigen Test. Tests were evaluated on reco...

The key historical question here is not whether or not masks were useless. The broader, more troubling historical pattern is clear: the problem of public trust in public health.

We provide a simple model of COVID-19 transmission at workplaces, events, and other settings. We use data from reported single-event, short-duration outbreaks to estimate the transmission rate, number of contacts, and turnover at events. We use these to predict how many new infections are expected to occur at various events given the presence of a single infectious individual. We then determine which types of interventions will be the most effective in reducing the number of infections: reducing transmission rates (such as with masks), social distancing (reducing the number of people in con...
