Covid19-Sources

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.

Here collated are the papers of shame - the lockdown ideology is destroying our societal health, selling the lie of saving lives. Lockdowns cost net suffering and lives - by a huge margin. Here we gather together the evidence. TWENTY+ LOCKDOWN LACK OF EFFICACY PAPERS & ANALYSES: STANFORD - ...

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...

This report describes COVID-19 incidence in Kansas counties with and without mask mandates.

Background: Hong Kong was one of the first locations outside of mainland China to identify COVID-19 cases in January 2020. We assessed the impact of various public health measures on transmission.Methods: We analysed data on all COVID-19 cases and publi...

A study of 246 individuals with seasonal respiratory virus infections randomized to wear or not wear a surgical face mask showed that masks can significantly reduce detection of coronavirus and influenza virus in exhaled breath and may help interrupt virus transmission.

Observational evidence suggests that mask wearing mitigates SARS-CoV-2 transmission. It is uncertain if this observed association arises through protection of uninfected wearers (protective effect)...
