Biden is talking big sense and big action on this thing right now. All talk? We shall see. But, most importantly, his purple tie is elite AF.

Congrats #blueanon nation.

You're going to start seeing a reduction in positive cases, because almost right on cue the WHO has issued guidance on Ct.   Soon to come to the U.S. if not already here.   

Instead of Ct values of 37-40 in PCR testing, we'll see Ct values of 30 . . . tops.   Thus reducing the amplification of already low viral loads that in the vast majority of cases are both asymptomatic and non-infectious. 

Cases are most certainly going to drop simply by this measure alone.   How appropriately timed . . . should have bet on it.

There's only one state that requires Ct value reporting, Florida.

given that Trump dropped out of the WHO couldn't he have set those values where he saw fit?


also does anyone really care about overall case #'s at this point?

the stacking of bodies is really the only metric that really matters at this juncture.

When did the WHO start setting the standards that individual countries abide by?

Please also note that drug overdoses are at or near record highs and the homicide rates in many cities have skyrocketed.   Certainly an offshoot of policies driven by case counts.

Politics aside the PCR testing stuff is true here as far as I've read.

Looks like what we'll see is cases going down, but deaths to cases going up.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Wait, so taking away outside social gatherings in environments with substantial air exchange and placing people indoors was bad?

But the optics were so good.   The intentions simply the best.  A decisive taking action Gav Newsom made #blueanon nation feel so good!

SlowDug if you have ramping symptoms in a pre-hospitalization state, you'll be begging your doc for HCQ and Z-paks.

You just can't bring yourself to admit it.

Sad

Is she still out there talking about HCQ and Z-paks? I remember those tender days. Does anyone know of a single person who has IRL been prescribed this in the last six months?

I am sure the kind of numbskull who would accidentally taze his own crotch to the grave probably asks for it from their doctor.

As someone who designs and does qPCR assays all the time - anything that comes up after cycle 30-32 is pretty much trash (spurious products, primer dimers, etc.). Reducing your cycles by 10 will save you ~15 mins per run and allow you to process more samples a day. Good, common sense molecular biology - especially for any diagnostics lab.

Sadly the good common sense hasn’t come into play until now.

Not political, tho

I don't think this change will affect the ability to detect positive samples very much, if at all.

It will lower false positives and likely lower morbidity attributed to Covid.

Things will just feel better.

As the more contagious strain continues to spread and overtakes the progenitor strain, I don't think "feel better" will be the reality for most people.

Ct changes in the lat month.  No counties in the red.   We’re beating this thing through less sensitive testing.   

It feels good guys.  Imagine this process earlier.  A lot less CoronaBro drama Queen material. 

I’d also like to thank Joe for his 100 days of masking which we’ll just tack on to the last 180 days or so of masking around here.
