‘I think I made a mistake’

WOW! NBC Guest Doctor Who Was Suffering from Coronavirus in Hospital in TV Interviews -- NEVER HAD CORONAVIRUS! (VIDEO)

This one is a better story.

Sounds like he had a myriad of symptoms similar to covid - leaving him critically ill. Sounds like his MDs were working on an assumption,

What a faker!!!!! I mean to go to all the trouble of becoming critically ill during a COVID pandemic with all the similar symptoms!

Then to go to all the trouble of finding a hospital that would think all of these Covid symptoms were really covid. The nerve!!!

OK. Here it goes. In the real world an MD has a working diagnosis. The one test that would prove the case turns up negative. Guess what. This guy who had symptoms eerily similar to Covid was more than likely treated as if he had covid and isolated accordingly. They would treat him as a "PUI" probably until his symptoms eased and repeat tests were done.

Dude, you make yourself look really bad.

It will be interesting to see what made him so ill. But treat a person who escaped death from a now unknown disease as a faker? Damn.

Hey guys. Some other dude didn't have COVID so that, I guess, makes this 30 year old who died not so bad.

Or something.

Yeah...and the guy was in a covid ward because his symptoms and critical illness lined up!!

My own serologic test came back inconclusive despite an earlier MD Dx.

The diagnostic tests are not very good. They can usually detect the presence of the virus RNA, but are plagued by false negatives.
This isn't because the test is faulty. It's because there wasn't enough RNA where they swabbed.
Rectal swabs would work a lot better but obviously most people freak out at that notion, at least initially.
I imagine it depends on how sick you are?
The Dx tests can also give a false positive when all the active virus is gone and the patient is shedding old virus RNA fragments.

The serologic tests are also not very good either, not because of the tests (assuming it is a good test mfr) but because so many recovered victims do not always make a lot of IgG antibodies.
That's what happened in my case.
The full adaptive immune response takes a while and apparently lots of people clear the virus before the B-cells start making those antibodies.
It does not mean they are not immune: There are memory B-cells that might know how to make antibodies, but those cells never really got stimulated in time.

The fact is, a test with the kind of accuracy that you could set your watch by, Dx or serologic, would require live cell cultures and cost thousands of dollars per test.

Protesting masks and quarantine does not make one a dumbass......going out in public without a mask and protesting in a crowd of hundreds who will not wear a mask is what makes one a dumbass. :doh

I think that should be the mandatory epitaph on the headstones of those who die of Covid after attending Covid parties...."I think I made a mistake"

Absolutely be sure to keep the words covid and trump separate. It is after all trump telling folks like you it's a hoax.

we should all go back and comment in this thread about Rush Limbaugh lying about COVID. He and Trump (with their words) are causing deaths...

Here's why Rush Limbaugh is literally dangerous to Republicans

Amazing. I went back and reread your other post about rush and what he told people. Personally I think it verges on criminal behavior and the people who are stupid enough to believe hacks like him sadly deserve to be infected, it's the only way they'll learn. It's like the whole gop went brain dead.

a BIGGER dumbass. I would add that holding rallies in hotspots, and discouraging masking or social distancing, makes one a Dumbass-in-Chief.

Gee must be one helluva investigative reporter to find this person, what are the odds of a 30 yr old dying of this bug?
Click to expand...

For him the odds were 100%. No one knows their odds until they get it so go right ahead and spin the cylinder and have a go.

I have had two brain biopsies.....I mean covid tests. I can assure you I would rather have a swab up my ass rather than go through that again.:lamo

Can you even imagine COVID testing if folks had to drop trou and bend over? OMG :lamo

‘I think I made a mistake’: Patient who thought pandemic was a ‘hoax’ dies after going to ‘COVID party’ – Raw Story



I've said it before. I'll say it again. Believing Donald Trump is dangerous. Just ask the dead guy.
Click to expand...

Too many questions about this, as the article doesn't provide enough detail about this person. It's stupid to intentionally challenge the beast we call COVID, but how do we know the person contracted it from this party? Did the person actually die of COVID? That's the premise of the story without actually specifying.

It’s not a board, but a sub-forum.
Research before you post incorrectly.

So you just admitted all your tests are bunk science, so how many infections does the US actually have and how many are really from the virus?

As stupid as assuming it's 'just like the flu' and that once infected and recovered, there's your immunity. It's tragic that only facing imminent death brings reality into sharp focus. Every arrogant 'freedom!' idiot needs to read about this guy.
