Don't want to appear thick, but I've read this three times and still don't understand what it means.I saw this in a paper I was reading :-
Results: Of 133 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, there were 44 moderate cases, 52 severe cases, and 37 critical cases with no significant difference of gender and age among three subgroups. Overall, the positive ratio in IgM antibody test was higher than in RT-PCR detection. In RT-PCR detection, the positive ratio was 65.91%, 71.15%, and 67.57% in moderate, severe, and critical cases, respectively. Whereas, the positive ratio of IgM/IgG antibody detection in patients was 79.55%/93.18%, 82.69%/100%, and 72.97%/97.30% in moderate, severe, and critical cases, respectively. Moreover, the concentrations of antibodies were also measured in three subgroups.
We're missing 1 in 3 positives from our testing. I am absolutely convinced that far more people have this than we think, by orders of magnitude - possibly even more than 100 times when you consider that the infection rate is potentially thought to be up near 4-6
Does it dry quickly because I can’t stand the greasy ones.

Can't put it in plain English for this thicko can you?
Oh, ok thanks.It's a comparison between the existing tests and antibody tests
The long and the short of it is that the current tests only report 2/3 when someone has Covid19. They miss the other 1/3.
The new antibody tests look to be more accurate
I'm not a scientist though, just someone who Google's a lot
The secret is that right now, the scientists are also Googling a lot :icon_wink:It's a comparison between the existing tests and antibody tests

Perhaps a more accurate approximation of wider infection rates here:

I use Aveeno products. They have that Colloidal Oatmeal stuff in it which is very good for the skin and various skin conditions. It makes your skin feel quite silky smooth after a few applications. They do moisturisers and also shower and bath stuff which is also really good.Honest wage for honest work. Nowt wrong with that.
In other news, anyone on here with a strong hand moisturiser game that can recommend a decent product? All this extra long hand washing is turning my mitts to ash and they're starting to sting/itch.
If theres any good that comes out of this horrible mess, it must be that the world stands up to China regard the trade in illegal wildlife. Too long the International Community has turned a blind eye to Chinas greed in trading endangered animals, the extinction of species driven by their medicine and tradition needs to be addressed.
If it was caused by the Pangolin, or indeed a bat then more needs to be done by the international community to address this.

Hong Kong successfully controlled the epidemic early on, and they started relaxing some of their restrictions. Now they’re beginning to see new cases reappear.
One tip - the answer to "who to believe" will not be "Donald Trump"
