Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

[cougie uk]

What if you measure resting HR and HRV every single day. Let’s say you exercise every day or every other day and that includes heart rate and power data on the bike. Let’s include exercise that pushes you up to 90% or more of your max heart rate. You have a good understanding of your RPE and how that ties to your heart rate response and power output.

I would posit that you can’t have Covid-19 without it showing up in any of your daily data especially if you have a long and well established baseline.

Yes but who does this ?

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Yes but who does this ?

me, and regards daily HRV about 4.5 million according to the app. Many millions collect this data as a matter of course.

Latest numbers are that 19 million confirmed cases of Covid 19 in UK. Leaving 51 million unconfirmed. You can’t say 100% of the 51 million must have been asymptomatic the past 2.5 years.

Define we??? If your talking about your place of work, then i left my place of work on march 16th 2020 and have yet to this day returned. So they had no need to test me……i was working from home and still do.

i also work very closely with the welsh government and am very clear of what rules we had to adhere to.

Fair comment; I meant "We" as in "my place of work" and possibly by extension the state of Baden-Württemberg as our C-19 regulations were defined by the states not the federal government.

I was expressing interest in the different regulations in similar countries, not intending to cast doubt on how you have responded to C-19.

Yeh, there was lots of differences in testing rules with the devolved governments in the UK too and even now there are differences…….

The state parliaments and courts have to ratify laws and I got a strong feeling they were really grappling with the balance of freedom and stopping the pandemic; some state courts even said the laws were unconstitutional in their states...

 

[Tom...]

Post 4229 asks how would i know and post 4236……both ask about how would i know and what if i was asymptomatic. So twice

4236 asks simply what if you were asymptomatic

 

[jowwy]

4236 asks simply what if you were asymptomatic

So two questions……both had question marks after them, i answered both

 

[Tom...]

Yes, but not the same question, as you implied

 

[jowwy]

Yes, but not the same question, as you implied

Both questions were broadly around testing for covid…………but anyway lets move on, plenty of other people have answered the same question as i have

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Global data suggest that 40%+ of cases of confirmed Covid-19 infection are asymptomatic

I was very surprised to test positive, not even a temperature!
To think that pre corona times I used to drag myself to work sneezing and coughing, as was expected

 

[DaveReading]

Not really so, at least not in my case. I test before visiting my sister, who is vulnerable, just in case.

"Not in my case" doesn't really negate a "most of us do" assertion.

If 40% of those who test positive are asymptomatic, then at least 40% of those testing must be testing without symptoms. Thus the test figures must be around 50/50 for those who test with symptoms, and those who test without.

What we don’t know, is of those who have no symptoms and are testing, how many come up negative?

No symptoms and still coming up negative. Lateral Flow and PCR's.

What did you not understand about the phrase "most of us"?

 

[Alex321]

As I'm sure you're aware, this is incredibly unlikely and improbable. You appear to have a penchant for bickering and hypothesising, go outside, it's a nice day.

Why on earth would he be "aware" of something that isn't remotely true.

There are many of us, probably millions, who kept religiously to lockdown social distancing recommendations, and didn't have ANY illnesses for over a year.

Neither my wife nor I had so much as a sniffle from April 2020 through until early 2022 - when we both caught colds from our grandsons when my daughter came to stay - thought that might be COVID, but both tested negative that time (and so did my daughter and her sons).

What he was taking abut was only improbable among people who either mixed with others (whether by choice or because their work required it), or have kids who had to go to school and mix with others.
