Coronavirus Outbreak

[FinestTigers]

@leichhardtjunior - I've done the research for you and hopefully you read and understand this prior to posting again.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/lab/testing.html

CDC’s newest laboratory test, detects two types of influenza viruses (A and B) and SARS-CoV-2 at the same time. This test is called the CDC Influenza SARS-CoV-2 (Flu SC2) Multiplex Assay.

Although the CDC 2019 nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel filled an important unmet need when it was developed and deployed in early 2020, the demand for this test has declined due to the authorization of higher-throughput alternatives and multiplexed assays that detect both SARS-CoV-2 and other common respiratory pathogens simultaneously. For this reason, CDC will discontinue the 2019 nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel after December 31, 2021.

As the test is still performing very well,

In layman terms what has happened is that the test has been improved so they are phasing out one test and adding in another test. The initial test though is still performing well.

There is no issue at all from a layman's perspective and if you think there is you don't understand the science and therefore you shouldn't comment on it.

As validated by @Earl.gov ???

Just a friendly reminder LJ, i have been interested with what you have been posting and it makes a good discussion, but mate, these sort of replies are just not helpful with anything.

I think if you look hard enough there’s a message there FT. I’ll admit that my old mate Earl rubbed me up the wrong way from the start with his condescending stigmatisation (Pro freedom / Anti science) implying that anyone that objects to the human and social rights aspect of this issue is inherently devoid of any capacity for science. I take your point in that two wrongs don’t make a right, but there’s a big part of me that believes fiercely in the importance of calling this kind of ignorance out, and I make no apology for that.
I’m not going to lie, I don’t like what Earl’s about because he comes off as though he has a mortgage on what’s correct or incorrect based on ‘accepted science’. The truth is that there is unlimited science out there that is supported by top scientists and doctors worldwide that is systematically ignored by the ‘accepted mainstream platforms’ for reasons that absolutely require questioning for purpose of transparency if nothing else. Earl claims to be about the science but to me he seems emotionally compromised by the source.
In my opinion, Intelligence isn’t about how much you think you know, it’s an ability to question everything you think you know.
I don’t have an accepted peer reviewed study on that though so take it for what you will.
Again though, you’re point is taken FT, and time to move on from this impasse.

Following an emergency meeting of the Corona Cabinet, **Israel** has now banned all foreigners from entering the country, and now they are even locating and tracking all recent arrivals from the hotspots of the newly-emerged **Omicron** coronavirus variant.

And as i said yesterday, the WHO has already classified this variant as another VOC (variants of concern) but not the US, the US's Mr Biden, Mr Fauci, and the CDC are in no rush and apparently are still considering it.?

I now seriously say this, we should shut our gates to the US and others now! we do not want a repeat of the Incompetencies that were made with the delta.

Gotta love people who believe the liquid from the vaccine is permanently circulating your body after you take it. I try to tell them to that the vaccine is only in your body for 2-3 days but they laugh me off. Just shows how much some people who are criticising the vaccine's know.

If Israel are that concerned, big big dramas ahead. Israel are always ahead of the curve

Now the anti-vaxxers are saying anyone who has have the vaccination should be barred from giving blood for life because apparently the blood is tainted and would be deadly to other people.

They can say whatever they want. They have no power.

They've confirmed omricom cases there though that's why

 

[innsaneink]

And now confirmed it's here in Sydney

so then shouldn't they be banned from giving blood for the came counter-argument?

Israeli prime minister declaring that Omicron is way more contagious than Delta.

They say it is more contagious.

And the doctor in Africa who found it saying it much more mild then any other covid

Mild but potentially resistant to the vaccine. Which means a potentially bigger infection rate.

This variant may put a massive hole in people's Christmas plans.

I’m pretty annoyed and stayed off this part of the forum because I have my two cents about it.

But now.. with this bull s! Around again just makes it very sus with everything going on.

What next, 2 boosters or lose your job..?

We haven’t had any freedom after they said get two vacs..

The last 2 weeks I’ve been in Katherine, Northern Territory no where near cases, double vaxxed and was only able to return to Darwin (3 hours away) a few days ago.

Now I have to quarantine at home for an additional 14 days and Check into an app 3 times a day.

This is ridiculous to me as I have been no where near cases, but only because I was in the same town for work.

Now this new virus, we’ll all lose our freedom again and it’ll be a never ending war between everyone.

P.S I feel so sorry for the people that have been in quarantine longer than 14 days, it’s hell and my mental health is crap.. no wonder half the forum was on edge, lockdown is the worst thing for a human being.

Let us all free and stuff the virus.

I couldn’t care less if I died or people died around me, we need the freedom in the world, not locked in a room like a green room getting lights from the UV rays.

 

[swag_tiger]

Omicron is now officially in Australia.

I'm so glad you are not in charge of public health policy.

Its clear hes expressing how a lot are feeling about this...sick of it, fed up, frustrated, pissed off..over it

I get it but at the same time we have to be rational and logical when making decisions. I don't want lockdowns again.

In stating all of that this could be on-going for another 5 years or so. This is what living with COVID is about.

Look at the positives though. We have vaccines that work. We have anti-viral medicines that work. We aren't in lockdowns yet.
