COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

Took three Covid+ patients to the mortuary a few days back and moved about 10 living Covid+ patients around over the last two days.

Both PCR and LFT are negative.

If they are in hospital beds as Covid patients they have tested positive for Covid.
How do you not get this?


Just questioning why they are classed as having Covid if 'both PCR and LFT negative'.
 
I see a certain poster is being absolutely clueless again. Everyone knows CFS was a thing before COVID but the incidence of it was far rarer.
 
I'm no expert on this but I can't ever remember anybody pre-Covid claiming they had still got symptoms months later after a cold.

It happened, albeit very rarely. Trying to compare it to the incidence rate of CFS from COVID is just his typical bad faith takes.

If you don’t like the article complain to The Times - if you refuse to follow the science complain to those that completed the study.

Covid groupthink is not sustainable.
 
'Long cold' also a thing..


It revealed that the “long Covid” phenomenon — when people experience prolonged symptoms such as fatigue and breathlessness — applied to most other respiratory illnesses including the common cold.


Given colds are much more prevalent than covid this likely explains the high number of self reported supposed 'long covid' cases..

Only colds pretty much disappeared for 2-3 years due to the lockdowns and other measures, aside from one nasty one going around at the same time as COVID last Christmas and an up-tick of Rhinovirus based colds when schools got back to something like normal which mostly affected kids.

The number of people having longer term affects from a cold is far lower.

given respiratory diseases are generally spread in the same way can you not see the fatal flaw in your simplistic generalisation..

This is something I mentioned back in 2020, because of measures I never caught one cold and I didn't know anybody else who got a cold.
Normally in our office of about 30 people at our hospital at least one would have a cold at any one time, colds disappeared because of mask wearing.
I still haven't had one since that time.
 
Genuinely believe that people have forgotten how bad a cold can be sometimes, Covid is a hypochondriacs wet dream.
Genuinely believe that people with 0 background in medicine have forgotten to STFU trying to make claims about how bad a cold is, or how bad Covid is because they have no clue what they are talking about.

It just makes them look like an ignorant moron.

You don't want to look like an ignorant moron do you?

The only fatally flawed posts are the ones you are bringing.

Great detailed comeback - why don't you put it in writing to The Times and The Lancet and get them to retract the article / study if it is so wrong?

Or alternatively just stick to pearl clutching on here. :D

Says the guy trying to downplay Covid because it shares similar transmission vectors to other respiratory diseases.

Tell us again, what is your background in medicine, immunology and virology?

You talk of simplistic generalisation then try and lump all respiratory diseases in as the same, it is hard to take you seriously.
