Would make that claim that a pair of oxford researchers made that up to half of the UK may have already been infected with covid 19 seem more credible.
And, of course, if that's the case, any social distancing plans go right out the window.

that is pretty awesome
Has anyone read anything on asymptomatic carriers? Like if you are a carrier and you self quarantine for 2 (or 3 or 4) weeks do you rid yourself of the disease and are no longer a carrier?

BILL LEE Governor | STATE OF TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Andrew Johnson Tower, 5th Floor 710 James Robertson Parkway Nashville, Tennessee 37243 | LISA PIERCEY, MD, MBA, FAAP Commissioner |

| MEMORANDUM DATE: March 26, 2020 TO: Health Care Provider FROM: Lisa Piercey, MD, MBA, FAAP Commissioner SUBJECT: Statement on Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin |
|---|
| According to FDA and CDC, there are no FDA-approved therapeutics to treat, cure, or prevent COVID-19 at this time. Specifically, hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, and azithromycin are not FDA-approved for COVID-19 prevention or treatment. Likewise, there are no currently available data from Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) to inform clinical guidance on the use, dosing, or duration of hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, or azithromycin for the indications being investigated. Research is currently underway, and prescribers must be mindful that evidence of effectiveness is minimal and that there are known harms of these medications. Specifically, hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, for example, are associated with QT prolongation and caution is advised when considering these drugs in patients with chronic medical conditions (e.g. renal failure, hepatic disease) or in patients receiving medications that might interact to cause arrhythmias. We want providers and pharmacists to act with their best discretion to ensure patients continue to receive appropriate treatment in times of shortages. We discourage inappropriate prescribing or hoarding of this medication for prophylaxis or treatment of COVID-19, which may limit access for patients that require these medications for therapy for approved indications. Thank you.

Anyone know if contagious potential is directly related to severity of symptoms?

One of the few things I'm optimistic about these days is that modern society has never put most of our best onto one problem before. We're already seeing some pretty crazy stuff from our best medical people internationally. Hopefully we find something that is an effective treatment sooner rather than later.

It would make him look weak. Not really though.. It's just an illness. But in his mind it would make him look weak and vulnerable.
