I have no idea if I have it. I have a fever and a cough called my doctor

I think a lot of people are feeling the same way. My daughter who tested

ExXtly tests should be available everywhere for rveryone

Assuming there are enough now. 90-95% of those tested are negative

Neat.my retired but working at wal mart dad got tested 5 days ago

Not sure how that addresses my point on availability of tests

BYU '80

Part of that is we are testing the people more likely to have complications, not

Correct. Right now its an issue of test availability

CarolinaCoug

Simply not true. I got tested very easily with very mild symptoms here in Utah.

I went to testutah.com and the IHC Covid symptom tracker

Same with us; that system told us to just stay home and our doctor told us no

I just drove right up to the testing facility almost 2 weeks ago and they asked if I wanted to get tested and I said yes

I think the testutah.com is actually preventing people from getting tested that should. I didn't do any of that stuff.

I don’t doubt your experience in the slightest; but clearly not everyone has

Wow that's lame of Lehi. I agree that everyone is not on the same page and won't necessarily have the same experience

5 days is the average incubation

Studies from China show 1 to 27 days incubation w 5 the average

Call your doctor. We are talking to our positive patients every day for 14 days

My daughter certainly has. We’ve asked repeatedly if we should get tested too

That's correct

There is no evidence of less harmful “strains”. Virus is mutating to a degree

Weak infection = weak symptoms. Simple.

charles

Viral load vs bodies defences. Simple

charles

4/10/20 6:59am

Structure of virus is not the variable changing.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 8:03am

Not the structure. Social distancing changes viral load/# of virons

charles

4/10/20 9:46am

Huh? Social distancing affects you not getting the virus, not your viral load.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 10:25am

Viral load depends on how many you start with plus how many are replicated

charles

4/10/20 11:20am

I wouldn’t think initial viral load would have mattered due to exponential

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 11:31am

In short. People get more sick is their own bodies ability, not the virus.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 10:40am

Yes its the same virus but the number of initial virons varies greatly.

If you don't mind, How old? Where did she get it? Was she socially distancing?
