I’m baffled at the people throwing covid partys to get infected on purpose smh
what this tells me is al u guy’s don’t know sh!t but your still getting paid!
Ah, yes.
The importance of cost effectiveness in times of global pandemic.
His hair is so luscious today.
Or well, on the 7th. 🙂
Favorite channel!
Those guys are so smart! This is why I subscribed to them.
Had a severe allergy event (itchy throat, sneezing and dry cough)with fever that took place more than 14 days ago, almost to the point I had difficulty breathing as my nasal passages were so inflammed. Taking 2 tablets of loratidine had no effect even after 30 minutes of waiting. A trip to the hospital for the purpose of getting steroids was the very last option as going there in my condition would immediately be asking for quarrantine. What saved the day for me was a lifewave X39 patch placed on the sides of my nose bridge. My condition gradually improved in less than 20 minutes and my nasal passages were cleared in an hour or so. Had fever and mild body aches the following day but gradually went away in 3 days time. I also lost my sense smell for nearly 3 weeks which was why I was asked to take a swab test by a doctor because they suspect I may have had a brush with Covid 19.
Wow someone is self medicating with food.
Mr Aranda is looking good! 😊
Well that’s mostly not good news. And yeah, the asymptomatic spread thing definitely needs more research.
Let me tell about “Your decision” about who needs to stay home……you can stay wherever the hell you want. I will do whatever the hell I want. No debate, discussion, explanation, compromise or thought required after that. I am of above average intelligence and fully comprehend the implications of actions. Nature says Im behaving as I should. I will abide by those rules and laws only .
you may just be “above average” intelligence but your empathy is ZERO.
i will definitely say that your level of SELFISHNESS is above average, but i don’t know that i’d be bragging about that if i were you.
This needs more views…
I’ve seen more than one news report about South Korea’s very vigorous tracing program picking up reinfections, but it’s difficult to figure out the real story from double translated (Korean to English and Scientist to Layman) information. Have you guys checked that area out at all?
well, i guess you could just give everybody a ct scan to see if they have it, huh?
solves your ‘shortage of tests’ problem.
Ah, yeah. Just go to your family doc and get a CT done!
A sample of 37 people is not representative on a scale of millions, these are just anomalies, stop spreading disinformation…
There is a study that finds out that all four of the old coronavirus strains do not create lasting immunity. There are examples of the same person getting sick with the same strain two times in the same year.
It’s suspected that this may be property of all corona viruses.
There are already cases of people getting infected again. e.g. Kayla Braxton (WWE announcer) got COVID19 again, after just 3 months.
Watched the film contagion the other day and they didn’t have anyone actively denying and disobeying the govt measures. I thought it was funny because if they had, it would’ve been decried as unrealistic because no one is that stupid…or so we thought
Watch the, “ANDROMEDA STRAIN”
The USA and any independent democratic country is a results of someone or in this case a group of people disobeying government measures one day.
So what is your point? There is more dangerous disease out there. I really don’t understand why H1N1 in 2009 was treated differently just like any pandemic in the past. Why a corona virus founded in 15 to 20% of Common cold case annually have so much importance this year? Yeah its though Why so political? Why the media are pushing the Chinese data while ignoring the French ones?
Is this scishow or sci-fi show?
😃👎
How about you guys show me actual picture of the covid protein rather than the CGI and then we’ll talk. Or is this more germ theory?
I dislike the pool testing method.. because you’re only testing one person (remember, we’re testing to HELP people learn if they have the virus so they can self-quarantine, and get the proper medical treatment) out of of the five of each group. It’s great statistically, maybe? But not practice when dealing with human beings and a pandemic.
Stay safe everyone, wear a mask, wash your hands and avoid large groups 😲
And that ladies and gentlemen is why you have to wear a mask, even if you feel fine!
It’s not for you, it’s for everybody around you.
Your safety does not fall in the hands of others but of your own .
You want a mask then wear it , it is wrong to force others against their will . if you fill force is necessary then I you are a wrong.
There is this thing called a life cycle, things live and die , its natural and you can’t stop death.
The Chinese government has consistently withheld and manipulated information. At the same time they release this information, they are stomping on Hong Kong and hoping we are too busy with Covid and protests to stop them.
Are we really going to rely on research coming out of China?
If the data, methodology, etc…. can not be peer reviewed, we do not.
If it can be peer reviewed? Then it is peer reviewed science. Like all the other.
I don’t and I won’t start.
Can someone please tell me why am I getting these feelings that the virus will be gone by next year ( 2021 ) ? And a few hours ago I got another feeling in my head saying that the masks will be taken off also by next year ( 2021 ).
Maybe because you are intuitive. My feeling is that it’s going actually last about 3-4 years but I could be wrong.
Antibody levels are not a good indicator of immunity. They drop off after infection, as was explained here, but long-term immunity is usually realised by memory T and B cells. These are what stay behind. When they encounter the pathogen they were produced for, they trigger an immune response, which then produces antibodies in B cells. Antibodies alone just floating about in the body basically make immunity random, because they may or may not be at the location they need to be at the time of infection.
lol that 1980’s hair
He looks great 😍
My Brain Small
Can anyone tell me about another sickness that you have no symptoms but can spread? Please ?
HIV
(Though you said sickness, I dared to assume that you meant virus)
actually, people spread colds and flus every year without realizing they’re sick.
people may have symptoms, but just not recognize them as such.
Herpes
So much for that one dude’s claim that 99% of Covid-19 cases are _totally_ harmless.
@D Burris I’m guessing Toby knows.
Toby he’s referring the the glorious president of the United States
Only uninformed fools make such claims.
How can you have lung damage but no symptoms? Surely you would be able to notice it.
Need to be ant-man to figure that out easily : the scars you can visibly see represent a millions / billions of cells. So if there is scar tissue on 1 cell, there is still scar tissue on 1 cell… then spread it out.
@Tina Cayford those people also get winded easier. Slow progressive damage over time is entirely different that what ses to happen with covid
Some people smoke cigarettes for many years before they attain “smokers cough” and they have lung damage throughout those years that is asymptomatic. It just means you can’t feel it yourself or present it measurably to others (without the use of mechanical or chemical testing).
Depends on capacity, if your normal life only requires you to use 40% of that as you don’t exercise or whatever then you’ll never notice if something happens to the other 60. I had it (based on antibody test) and my only symptom is that it has added 1:30 to my mile time on runs
Thank you for keeping us informed. I have thyroid cancer & am absolutely terrified of getting covid-19. This is a subject that I’ve been wondering about, but just couldn’t find any clear info about it anywhere.
How does this differ from a normal influenza infection? Do asymptomatic flu patients shed virus particles in a similar way? Do recovering flu patients show a drop in antibodies as the weeks go on?
i know that there is a drop in antibodies, which is why people need to get a new flu shot every year.
@SciShow This information is also really important that it’s shared: https://swprs.org/a-swiss-doctor-on-covid-19/
It’s all the current data known about the global covid-19 pandemic backed up by scientists/medical experts, sadly it gets no attention from the mainstream media.
Hopefully SciShow can make a video about this.
This part is the conclusion about the media their role in the covid-19 pandemic, a conclusion made by scientists and medical experts.
“The role of the media
Most traditional media, almost all of which are part of elite geopolitical networks, decided to run a campaign of fear during the coronavirus period, a behavior that is usually observed in connection with wars of aggression or alleged terrorist attacks.
The risk to the general population was greatly exaggerated, official policies were hardly questioned, the situation in hospitals was dramatized, manipulative images were used, campaigns were staged, and protesters were systematically defamed as “idiots”.
It is true that some conservative media criticized the economically harmful lockdown measures. The real question, however, is whether they will also criticize the surveillance measures now planned, such as the extensive societal contact tracing (see below).
Most independent media sooner or later realized that the risk of the corona virus was exaggerated and politically exploited. Only a few independent media outlets did not realize this, perhaps because they lacked a medical background or fell for the official campaign of fear.
Some analysts compared Covid-19 to a psychological operation that uses the media-induced fear of the virus to bring about political and social change.
US platforms such as Google, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter censored corona issues extensively by deleting critical (i.e. non WHO compliant) points of view even from doctors or restricting their distribution, a procedure that has long been the norm for geopolitical issues.
However, modern media users have the option of using manipulation-free search engines such as DuckDuckGo and independent video platforms such as Bitchute, as well as generally using an advertising and tracking blocker on certain media sites.”
please don’t share your conspiracy theories on an actual science channel.
while you may be quoting “real doctors and scientists”, their opinion is not shared by the majority of medical professionals.
perhaps when you, or someone you care for, gets sick and hospitalized, or even dies, you will believe reality.
I’m surprised reallygraceful’s video on this is still up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUbNsdiQe0I
Stop it
I was with you till you said this was a Chinese study. The same people who won’t let scientists into their country.
The same people who handled the virus better than most countries and who have been sending scientists and doctors to help internationally. They’re the ones leading the charge on researching this thing
Can we vote for SciShows coverage of Covid-19 information to be the best of 2020 in all forms of media? How do we make this happen? Who do we talk to?
I think the exact same thing at every upload. Technically the WHO should be able to do what they do on a global scale but… crazy huh?
I think I had xovid19.In February i because short of breath and my lungs felt likenthey were full of water. But Im mine now. Back then.they were not testing for covid19..I might be spreading xocid19 and don’t know it.
Oooh liking the long hair!
my question would be… has any asymptomatic patient died from covid19? If no, how come? And why is their immune system not as responsive as other patients? Perhaps… if we figured out what defuses the reaction on asymptomatic patients, we could try and give others a medication that causes a similar effect?!
Okay, it seems that the absence of symptoms doesn’t correlate to an absence of harm… asymptomatic patients could have damaged organs but they’re unaware of it…
in short, this sucks!
Lana Mandala wow, ill add that to my list of risk factors
There are cases in India where asymptomatic patients died of sudden death.
Good questions, but as stated in the video : we still dont know much and science is trying to catch up. If you havent watched all of scishow videos on this you should look them up… in chronological order xD
@OurCognitiveSurplus The one definition I could find, insists that sympton is something the patient has noticed. And I do not think anyone ever noticed when he was dead. As a general rule, if you can still notice things you are not dead yet 🙂
Being dead definitely has some medical sign. But I think it counts as a Diagnosis^^
I am pretty sure “death” is a symptom. Therefore the question is a contradiction in itself.
Actually it might be breaking the “departure from normal function or feeling which is apparent to a patient” requirement. I mean, I guess if you go to bed and “never wake up”, you propably did not have any symptoms. At the very least, it counts for a “clinica sign”.
Considering a lot of deaths for Covid-19 comes from your immune system drowning you or killing other important organs, it is hard to miss that. Again, unless you loose consciousness before you have time to become aware.
The common flu has asymptomatic carriers and immunity after infection fades pretty much just as quickly, not to mention the fact that it mutates faster rendering any immunity from a prior strain void. The content of this video is AWFUL and plays right into the hysteria the general media has been slinging about C19 since this thing started.
That COVID pompadour is just crying out for some Brylcreem!
You win best comment. Rofl
psychosis
Woah! This dude has changed a lot since I last saw him.
It’s like he was 14 and edgy back then and now he’s all sophisticated and classy (except for the earrings really)
It’s all because of that new hairstyle
To quote Vincent Raccaniello : it is a war with no leadership on our side .
Once we had it it is part of us like Lyme disease. I had it bad for almost two months in November every since…it seems to spike in random chills and low grade fevers. 🧐😯🤯
Who’s this Aranda impersonator?
It’s him, that’s what lockdown has done to him
This video made my throat start hurting. Uh oh.
My mom usually gets summer colds but this one is kinda different, she works at a hospital and for the past three days she’s been sneezing and coughing but mostly coughing it doesn’t sound bad I personally think it’s just a summer cold but you honestly never know she’s going to get tested
But it’s kind of scary when almost everybody is meeting death face-to-face during this pandemic.
many blessings to you and your mom. 💕
Anybody else feel fine but can’t smell or taste?
That’s a symptom. Get tested.
In pool testing how can u get which group have +ve swab if u just check one swab from each group.
Does grouping them mean all the swab from infected swab group will somehow come +ve?
Swabs get pooled for the test. Then if pool test is positive you need to run individual tests for the group to find the infected ones. It is all based on probabilities but it saves a lot of test material if the probability of a negative pool exceeds the probability of positive pool test by some amount. The premises are swabs are cheap, test expensive, taking samples is quick.
They most likely combine the swabs of the group into one test
Can you put Turkish subtitles on your videos?
There’s an option for the viewer to add subs too
*when SCI SHOW confirms your fears*
‘FFFFFFFUUUUUUAUAAAAAAKHHHHHHHH!!!11’
My dad said he read a headline that said that asymptomatic people can’t spread it lmao
@Polar Equatorial so can it still be spread when your asymptomatic?
That was the conventional wisdom LAST week. He is wrong this week.
At one point WHO said that.June 9

Gee haircut?
I’ve been wondering about this! If symptoms are an extreme immune response then what happens if our immune system isn’t responding?
@Hanna Jung Do you happen to have on hand any sources that we could dig into to understand what you’re saying better? Tbh it’s not easy finding specific information like this as somebody with no medical training or experience.
@pessimistic ideas take it with a grain of salt, I am a nurse, not a doctor of immunology or virology. But this is my best understanding of the virus.
@Hanna Jung Thank you for the info!
Not all symptoms are because of the immune response. If the immune system does not respond the virus spreads into the body and causes mass organ failure, because too many cells produce viruses instead of doing their actual job.
Asymptomatic does not necessarly mean your immune system does not respond, it can mean that the immune response is less general and more specific. It is possible, that some people have a immune memory to a virus that is close enough to this one to allow such a respons.
Binary search is news in 2020?
I didn’t get it,pls explain someone-how grouping reduced no of test? We still have to test individually in each group right?
Oh okay, but how do u do a single test for a group considering it as one, do u merge the samples n do testing or what? I am running out of words to explain it well,but I hope u get the zist of it that what I am asking. 👍
This is especially useful in labs that do low volume testing with limited resources. In some larger capacity labs, however, it may be more efficient to just test samples individually. The pooling process takes time, as does retesting. And large-capacity testing centers typically have multiple RT-PCR machines running simultaneously, so it’s faster to just keep them running the entire day. Going back and finding 100 samples in a batch of 2000 is more time-consuming than just testing everything. Especially since there is a lot of paper-work to pay attention to. It all depends on how the lab is managed and organized though. Some large-capacity labs might be more efficient by pooling.
@CompilingInput You test all groups, then individually test all samples in groups that were positive.
Say you had 20 groups each containing 5 samples. You tested them all [20 tests] and two groups were positive so you did individual tests for each sample in each group [2 groups * 5 samples in each group=10 tests] to identify the positive samples. You used 30 tests. If you had tested all samples individually with no grouping you would’ve used 100 tests, thus you saves 70 tests.
CompilingInput Say you put 100 samples into 10 groups of 10 samples (realistically it would probably be 94-96 as the plates that they’re tested on come in 8×12, but I’m using 100 because it’s easier to visualize). We will call each group of ten samples a “pool.” We should have a total of 10 pools in that case. As far as the test is concerned, each “pool” is treated as one individual sample. So it’s like running the test for 10 samples instead of 100. If we find that 2 of the pools tested positive, then we know that two of the pools have at least a one positive each. We therefore need to test all of the samples that were incorporated into those pools. In this case it would be 20 total samples. We would then pin point which of the original samples were the positives. In total we’ve spent 30 sample’s worth of reagents instead of 100.
Thanks for replies. But how do u identify positive groups in the first place, don’t u have to select a group on random n do individual test..then only you can come to conclusions,right? N if this is true, then it can also happen that u end up testing every group n in the last u find that group which is positive,thus failing the intention of grouping to reduce the no of tests? Please correct me ,if going on wrong track.thanks 👍
COVID COVID COVID. COVID? COVID.
Asymptomatic or Presymptomatic?
or symptomatic and don’t know it.
a lot of these symptoms are so mild…
and if you have allergies or asthma you might not be able to tell the difference.
Since the study followed the subjects for a few months, they could remove anyone that later developed symptoms from the asymptomatic group and thus only have true asymptomatic cases in that group
Hearing of asymptomatic carriers reminds me of Emeline Shaw from Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. She was an asymptomatic carrier of a lab grown super virus that went crazy after her daughter died in the quarantine. Angry at the world, she started a cult and began taking revenge on all of Washington for her daughter’s death. At one point, she had her followers purposely contaminate parts of the city with her blood and blood from other confirmed carriers.
I hope and pray nothing like that happens to anyone here in real life. Thankfully, there are big difference between the Dollar Flu from The Division and COVID-19. Mainly that the Dollar Flu had a near perfect mortality rate.
Thank you SciShow for helping people stay informed and alert without targeting fear and anxiety reactions. There a doctor youtuber by name of Doctor Mike who is constantly encouraging us to stay ‘Alert, not Anxious’, and I feel like that needs to be a mantra across COVID-19 coverage.
US is so behind, people who recontract COVID19 can die even the first time was asymptomatic. The body just react very differently.
This is yet unclear, the cases of “recontractions“ could very much be cases of prior false negativ testing. But we absolutly do not know if there is a lasting immunity.
Still using data coming out of China and the only thing that has come out of China that we know is real is Covid-19 and lead paint on children’s toys.
tbh 74 people and study coming from China, very suspicious
One test, five noses? Sign me up! xD
They test everyone with new sterile equipment, then later combine the samples in the lab.
Damn, Michael’s Covid hair is cute
So I’m the only one who’s missing the old hair
It seems to be growing into a pompadour, I like it too.
I was trying to figure what was diffrent about him. HAIR! Thanks
Excuse my ignorance but a person that is not sick is sick, right?
And if you find sand in my shoes… I must had been at the beach.
Or I’ve stolen the beach or have a private one. Something in these lines.
Forget the sand. Say you stepped in some dog poo, but didn’t notice it. Now your shoelace came undone, you stop by a bench, where you put your foot up to retie, leaving a small spot of poo. Now a lady who’s been shopping, sits down. and puts her bag on the poo. The lady goes home and sets the bag on her kitchen counter, asks her kid to put the groceries away.He sees there is some chocolate doughnuts, sets one on the counter…….maybe one of them ended up with some e-coli… maybe not, You meanwhile have gone home, having walked all the poo off your shoe.
Asymptomatic doesn’t mean they aren’t infected it means they aren’t showing outward symptoms to indicate they are sick.
25 years old here already infected. Only 2 horrible days of dry cough, fever and body pain, none complication to breath. My sister 29 years old brought the virus home from a trip. She presented the same symptoms that I, my mother 53 years old only had body pain, as in an ordinary flu, for 1 day and we guess our father was asymptomatic because he didn’t have any symptom. We are sure it was Covid because my sister gave positive. To be truth is not as gloomy as media shows, besides now I’m convinced the number of infected is probably a lot lot higher than officially reported, most of them with mild symptoms as us.
Yeah it’s a fight those days to preserve our freedom and constitution. Apparently fear is a strong tool to manipulate entire countries to take control. Why now? Why this much measure while others like the H1N1 in 2009 the closest parent of H1N1 Spanish flu was simply smoother? There is more people dying from heat those days than covid. Is the government throwing trillions for AC? Don’t think so there are not pharma
@Roberto Reséndiz i see we might not be able to reason. Even if 99% recover, that 1% had loved ones. Yes, people were dying before COVID, but it doesn’t negate the fact that people (maybe 1%) are dying from COVID. I’m happy you recovered and are all doing fine. Do have a great day.
a person I think the virus exist and some people are dying, even the WHO accepts that 80% of infected people show mild symptoms, but the sickness is being useful for the mega financial rescue of USD 3 billion that the FED carried out for the already zombi American economy, I hope you know what that means. By the way, Blackrock is investing millions for the recently open Chinese investment banking and arbitrarily has been in charge to buy discretionally the financial assets on behalf the FED. Aah and is elections year, you know, according to media every single dead is Trump’s fault.
@Innocent O. I am sorry for your loss. It is quite rare for covid to kill people under 65.
It doesn’t healthy people should suffer.
Innocent O. So sad because nobody was dying because of viruses before Covid.
Wonder if genes for antigens are on the x Chromosomes any with may produce different anigens be thus more auto immune disease
@Hanna Jung actually I heard women suffered more.
It would make sense more Medical research are down on men . Because men get sick more except that’s not true. Men more prone respretory infections women more diegest.
.
Actually women worse symptoms of Cholora diarrhea. Dehydration Tiborkulosis gets in periods of starvetion and estrogen Better stores fat.
While Testosterone increases metablism and burns fat.
Men stronger barriors skin stomach acid nose hair .
@see both ways it depends, for a huge junk of infections women are less affected, suffer less and recover quicker. Cholera and Ebola though are examples of infections were the immune response is the big killer.
@Hanna Jung actually women are prone diestive infections such as Cholora .or ebola . Or from cuts
There is some debate on what exactly makes female immune systems more responsive. As women get less sick from infection, but also develope autoimmune deseases more often. It seems that estrogen plays a role, but it is not the only factor at play.
Why is a video about corona virus monetised, when all scientific data on it is open source?
Researching, writing and presenting the info isn’t free. This channel doesn’t produce their own data or something. All their stories are researching available data.
Dr. Hambone monetised May be an acceptable spelling in the UK
Because the channel had to produce the content.
Cooking videos are monetized as well even though you could get the recipe yourself.
Monetized*
Maybe are bodies are geared to fight Corona viruses in general since that is what cold viruses are. If you recover then your body is fighting it off somehow. We may be not testing correctly or not for the right thing. The reason the 1918 flu was so dangerous to Younger people is because the older population was exposed to similar viruses in the past and had some innate immunity that young people lacked. Maybe the same kind of thing now.
Cold viruses are actually rhinovirusus most of the time not corona viruses
L00K AT CHINA! THIS IS THEIR ‘MILLST0NE’ … THE CCP WILL C0LLAPSE WITHIN 2 YRS
Why was there no shut down for swine Flu
@Arkady yes it I the CDC counting any lung Infection as probable case. Coronado is only state doing testing to seporate deaths by COVID19 from deaths with COVID19 . And govenor Cuomo bared Nursing homes from turning away people already positive. Then blamed the death toll on Trump
@Steve Page but it confirmed more Deadly .many of COVID1l deaths are assumed
It isn’t nearly as contagious. It’s not a political stunt.
see both ways it didn’t spread Like COVID does.
Look at the way the virus infects the CD4 and CD8 t cells.
An asymptomatic Covid19 infection looks like : orange… Acts like a 5 yr old…. Weighs350, minimum…. Cries for his bleach/hydroxychloroquine ba-ba.. hides in the basement when hears loud noises.
3:32 “Pooled testing”
But wouldn’t the chlorine from the pool interfere with the test?
How about you find another hobby?
I can’t tell if this is a joke or not and I don’t want to get r/wooshed
Hey, welcome back
Wouldn’t the pooled testing have some risk of contaminate other people if the same swab is used for a group of individuals ? Just got confused with the logistics 😅
MichiruEll . Got it, so they wouldn’t save the swabs with this methodology, but save the reagents used for the rna extraction for the RT-PCR. I wonder if the sensibility would change with this approach by the way. Thanks for your reply and explanation! 🤗
They would use different swabs for each person but then transfer what is on all the swabs into the same container (like puting the tips of all the swabs into a same jar of water) and then testing the mix. No risk
Convoid 19 is blown out of proportion to “be safe”
Go on then…..lick someone that has it…..brave boy!
No.
Its 85% of are A symptomatic
We don’t know that
Maybe reason it’s so hard to figure out affects COVID19 is because of lack testing of other factors
@Limi V other infections or heart attacks or Diabetics
What kind of factors?
Will this be over?
it will be, eventually.
the last major worldwide pandemic lasted from 1918-1920, and people were just as irritated about it.
but, after it passed, no one gave it a second thought, not even enough thought to prepare for the next one.
hang in there….
this too shall pass.
It looks just like asymptomatic HIV,…… just wait 10 years.
ones a coronavirus ones a retrovirus (i think) which is known to lay dormant like that
Very informative!
True
I’m almost certain I’ve gotten it more than once at this point; unavoidable for me, I was volunteering at food banks. I didn’t feel particularly sick, but I had a sudden shortness of breath two weeks ago and I’ve been recovering since. It was sort of like asthma. Bright side, it convinced me to finally quit smoking altogether.
Congrats on quitting smoking!
Grats on quittin! <3
I know I have it, and the shortness of breath is scary af
@key_v Thanks. Yeah, I’ve been keeping to myself as much as practical. Always have my mask. Honestly, quitting smoking isn’t _that_ hard. I was already on the fence about it and had been cutting back. Didn’t like the way it made me feel. I feel much better physically now, I just have a somewhat shorter temper than normal. It really is easy if it’s what you want to do. The discomfort of nicotine withdrawal is minor compared to the discomfort of coughing every other minute anyway.
@Innocent O. that they had it twice. It’s possible they didn’t have it at all. But the likelihood of it being twice this close together is slim. Not impossible but without proof chances are it wasn’t. The symptoms of it are just so varied and non-specific that you can’t reliably self-diagnose.
@Innocent O. The doubt is probably about the infection. People are really bad at diagnosing themselves and many aren’t educated enough to understand the difference between a cold and the flu. Best to go to the doctor
The high degree of asymptomatic cases is why testing and contact tracing are so important. Basically, if you test positive (even if you didn’t have any symptoms) they work through the web of your connections/life to find all the people you’ve been in contact with and test them. The problem with that is 1. you need a ridiculous amount of testing capacity to be able to test so many people so often and 2. there are a lot of privacy concerns with contact tracing and you many people may not want the government tracking their lives so closely (especially in countries with let’s so, fewer civil rights)
@a person the day after the WHO said asymptomatic transfer was ‘very rare’ the released a new statement clarifying (basically many scientists did not like the wording/thought it was early to conclude that). Off hand I rememeber reading some literature that seemed to indicate asymptomatic transfer was more common than initially beleieved but I don’t have it on hand and would have to look more into it. Contact tracing is obviously also very inportant for symptomatic cases as well
At one point WHO said asymptomatic people can’t transmit the virus. What do you think about that?
Great point from a great channel
50,000+ new cases daily…We’re screwed 🤦♀️
@nick mourry no, 99% of people will not be “fine.” Just because people survive doesn’t mean they’ll be fine. There are serious concerns about permanent damage to your lungs and other organs even after you get over the virus
Daily deaths are going down
Cases are up because of mass testing. Some tests give positive if you had the virus months ago.
99% of people will be fine
Low death rate and eventually we will have a vaccine. We’ll survive.

I know I should be focused on the content of the video and not about appearances but I ain’t never seen Michael with such long hair
Oh, I do pay attention to his appearance! I think he is gorgeous! (And I promise not to make another comment about that! 😅)
Hey I’m 24. Have got the virus for a week now. Haven’t had a hard time yet. The sore throat has been the most annoying symptom.
Go to the Doctor and get well soon
@Amiji K’Vala thanks buddy
@XenomorphLV426 I think I’ll wait till notice sth unusual with my breathing first. Don’t wanna bother anyone at this point
You are a 99.5%er
I hope it stays that way for you!
Oh yea gettin it in early
Is it just me or is the audio desynced?
It does seem the audio is just a hair ahead of the lip movements.
Just you
Just you
Wear your masks people….
🎍
Do you trust China..what an idiot!
So to sum up: we don’t really know anything yet
Look, so much of science is asking questions and finding answers that really are just a bundle of entirely new questions. But that’s hardly a bad thing or a sign that we’re not making progress. Not at all! It means we’re getting more honed in to substantial conclusions with each new question, and often results in discovering completely unexpected or unrelated things along the way!
It’s a process, and we should be careful to not act otherwise. Everything we know now is based on our current understanding. It’s the best we have _at this moment_, and we may very likely change perspectives down the road due to new information coming to light. But we need to act _now_ with the best understanding we have _now_, all while remaining open to change as we learn more.
Sorry, that last paragraph was a bit of a tangent, but also a sort of response to Mike up above in the comments. Scientists NEED to be flexible to adapt to new information, even if that means their previous approach was technically wrong. All the same, it was probably about the best they could do given the current info. Do we want scientists to always be right? And by that I mean, do we want scientists to never change their perspectives and stubbornly hold onto outdated information? I should hope not.
science at it’s best
What have we learned _? Lots !_
What does it mean _? Nothing !_
Yep
@Mike Magic no
More like 75%….
So sick of people saying this is all a hoax, or political manipulation…. God help us!!!
@Arkady I see lockdown as shops and businesses being force to close because of the apparent threat of the coronavirus.
I think the lockdown is there so that people are more likely to want to get a vaccine against covid once it comes out( this may become mandatory) there may be a microchip inside the vaccine which, once it is in the body can hack into your brain and make you a slave to the elite.
It is worth thinking about.
Here are some fairly relevant videos:
Dr Coleman is worth listening to https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0p0qXvgsc4g&feature=share
Microchip injections https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hxTm9OJA0Pw&feature=share
In a sense money doesn’t matter because isn’t really there. The banks can always change the value of money. What the elite care about is world domination and a One World Government.
@a person No.1: define lockdown. No.2: “would you accept lockdown and wearing a mask?”
In my line of work I’m essential and work in food preparation. You already have to wash your hands for 20 seconds before prepping food and after. A mask is actually more hygienic when prepping food for public consumption anyway but it would be optional if not in lockdown. I have a deviated septum and asthma, my masks do not affect my breathing.
A lockdown would be impractical for world domination if you run a for profit economy anyway, so I have no idea why you’d think control is the goal if the “elites” don’t care what you do as long as you’re spending money. It’s not about “being woke” if you don’t even understand your own socioeconomic system…
a person would you accept a nuclear bomb up the ass if there wasn’t a world war III?
Would you accept lockdown if there wasn’t covid19?
