Covid 7/30/20

Where are all the testing devices that test quickly? Shouldn’t we fast track that as much as vaccines? https://nypost.com/2020/07/29/nyc-doctor-develops-rapid-noninvasive-covid-19-test/?

“A New York fertility doctor has developed a rapid, noninvasive coronavirus test that can deliver accurate results in 30 minutes or less, according to a preliminary study.

The test, developed by Dr. Zev Williams, a reproductive endocrinologist who runs the Columbia University Fertility Center, uses a person’s saliva to screen for COVID-19.”

“The study, which has not been peer-reviewed, also recorded sensitivity of 97 percent and specificity of 100 percent.

Sensitivity refers to the ability of a test to correctly identify infected patients, while specificity is the ability of a test to correctly identify those who are not ill. In this case, when the sample was negative, the saliva test didn’t deliver a false positive result, while when the sample was positive, 97 percent of the time it was correctly detected.”

Weds reporting seem to be the worse and weekends are the best when it comes to death reporting….Brazil 1595..India 1530

Similar to the rest of the world Brazil and India shows the disease is NOT super spreading but it is somewhat focused with the majority of the outbreak in a certain state

TX continues to lead the US in death 280

For TX 70/280 (25%) unassigned to a county… the next big county death from Dallas at 36 then Bexar (San Antonio) 24. Harris county still reporting very large confirmation 1468 but death continue to be minimal (15).

An alternative view of the county data for the 4 major counties seeing the most confirmation is that we have a very good handle on covid now and how to treat it. Even though confirmations continue to rise our fatality rate continues to be below 1.5%. Access to healthcare in these major counties seemed to be good.
