NoTail Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 35 minutes ago, rachomics said: This is correct, and we are in the middle of sequencing the viral genomes of all the cases from the first outbreak. I have ethical approval to analyse this data alongside contact tracing and antibody test data to gain an overall picture of the first outbreak. This will tell us things like how many unique introductions of the virus came into the Island, roughly when (because the mutations act like a clock that we can track back in time) and the geographical origin. It should also inform whether there are links between clusters of patients that contact tracing did not detect (possibly because of patients not being entirely truthful or not remembering). This should help the policy-makers should we see a second wave of community transmission on the Island. What is ethical approval? How does it differ from any other approval? Just interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Let me explain it another way. You are a Tory politician and you tested positive on 1 September. So, as we all know you will do, you go home to isolate for two weeks, but by 10 September, you are feeling disconsolate, lonely and bored. What better to cheer you up than a bit of auto-erotic asphyxiation? Sadly, the normal safeguards are not in place and the erotic becomes necrotic, and you die. Because you tested positive and died before 28 September, you are counted in the daily death toll figures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re going to die of something. Many might not have lived for another 28 days anyway. The fact they might have tested positive for Covid in the last month is pretty much irreverent really. At that time wasn't the time limit 60 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually says so on the News at 6 each night. i saw it last night. They tell you the covid deaths.

Facebook blocked it, and Twitter put it behind a fake news warning. So who is manipulating who when their stocks are sky-rocketing on the back of widespread covid hysteria keeping people glued to sensationalist social media?

And have kinda not read any coronavirus news other than IOM for a few weeks, wasn't doing me any good. My fault for not being informed.

To be honest, if we were receiving accurate information (vis the daily death toll) we may be less questioning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think trump just needs to say this is the deadliest thing ever and people won't want to agree with him so will do a 180 and declare there's nothing to worry about lol 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they may be on the rise for the reasons given in my hypothetical example. Actually, I read some time ago that the AEA cause of death is more common than we think as a method of suicide. For obvious reasons, the exact details are not given. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
