How dare people have a break on what’s actually an average salary for doctors in the US? I hope they’re all sent to the gulag. No wait, that’s the other loons, where do we send these ones again?

Ah sorry of course. Though how can you have ongoing symptoms and be asymptomatic?

But yeah, that’s moderate to severe COVID not mild COVID. My mistake.

Found this for asymptomatic people, suggests similar numbers though obviously not as severe consequences. Lung damage is never good but I imagine there’s had a fag once and forty a day for decades levels.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Overview

COVID-19 is a new type of coronavirus that causes mild to severe cases. Here’s a quick guide on how to spot symptoms, risk factors, prevent spread of the disease, and find out what to do if you think you have it.

See edit. Seems inconclusive TBH. There’s definitely lung damage, though it’s less than symptomatic patients. What the impact of that damage might be is an open question.

Less to do with health effects and more transmission, this came out a few days ago

Asymptomatic transmission of covid-19

What we know, and what we don’t The UK’s £100bn “Operation Moonshot” to roll out mass testing for covid-19 to cities and universities around the country raises two key questions. How infectious are people who test positive but have no symptoms? And, what is their contribution to transmission of...
www.bmj.com

Written by someone who was in independent SAGE, it argues why mass testing of everyone in a case area is a waste of testing resources and time in the absence of hard evidence over asymptomatic transmission. It also explains quite clearly the limitations of the PCR test versus a viral culture test (no TikTok videos by the way).

There's always the random that nobody knows who they are, the brides cousins ex boyfriend baby daddy.

To be fair they are usually the ones who are still up at 5am chatting shit with a kebab with you when everybody else has gone.

A slightly oddly written story but cutting through the guff, some quite promising news with the imminent approval of the Oxford vaccine

i'd argue it's bet to have a more contagious than deadly virus as it is easier to combat transmittability than deadly

Just read an article from a doctor stating that we won't have normality for another year. Her reasoning being it will take 50 weeks to vaccinate 50 million people.


However, correct me if im talking shit, but surely we dont need to vaccinate anywhere near the whole population before we can attempt normality? You would have thought that as long as the elderly, vulnerable, asthmatics etc have been immunised, that will stop the deaths and hospitalisations?

And thats the whole point isnt it? We're stuck with the virus its now endemic. We just need to make sure the vulnerable are vaccinated while the rest of us either do or dont have it?

The vaccine isn't 100%, and it's not clear if it stops you contracting it, or just makes you asymptomatic.

So, you need enough to reach that heard immunity, which means people beyond those groups too.

Plus, there's growing evidence of long term damage in people regardless, so you want to stop that, to keep a healthy workforce, for maximum economic benefit in years to come, and less needing costly treatment / aid.

I’m sure I read about something being trialled that was for people who haven’t been vaccinated but have caught Covid that essentially stops all symptoms.

Edit: This. Bit different to what I’ve said above.

UK scientists trial drug to prevent infection that leads to Covid

Exclusive: Antibody therapy could confer instant immunity to Covid-19 on at-risk groups
www.google.co.uk

Massive unless I’m misinterpreting what they are saying. But it’s not being talked about anywhere.
