It's Throwback Thursday's thread of sarcasm and witty repartee

[ill]

Can you positively tell me these tests aren't picking up random cold corona viruses vs covid 19.. because I asked an ID dr and he didn't think so..

what the heck is a "cold corona virus"?

20 pages, who's on trial?

Fuck... Who invited Katie in here on a day we had Covid convos

I don't design the covid test kits, so I cannot.

*Common Cold Coronavirus

That's an interesting thought, though. The important thing is to keep an eye on hospitalizations and deaths over the next 2-3 weeks, and we should have an idea of where we are.

You were, but have already been convicted because you slept through the trial.

I asked this question to a couple of very good Infectious Disease drs as well.. they were going to look into it ..

At least in Mr. Kobe's opinion, the 3 most important numbers are positivity rate, hospitalizations, and deaths.

meh, no one knocked on my door and locked me up. kafka would have done better.

common colds are not coronaviruses, are they?

makes sense.

Yes I meant to say the random common cold coronavirus.. my brain thinks faster than I can type most of the time

So don't flip out over cases when every doctor is requiring 72 tests before a rectal exam?

But positivity rate is skewed by asymptomatics.

asymptomatic positives are still positive tests.

What's the issue there

I wouldn't say there was an issue, but there is a queue of approvals and, of course, drug manufacturers prefer the slow process to not change. You won't see the big names lobbying since they already do everything they can to minimize generics.

an NDA needs clinical trials, which we know several are already in phase 3.

I think stability testing can slow things down too, but there are enough big brains out there to figure out a safe way to accelerate that process. Perhaps even allow it to continue while the drugs are being used.

Let me be clear, that I am not part of the FDA nor do I work in regulatory capacity. But I've been around the manufacturing process for 2 decades, and attend all of that mandatory training and listen in to some of these types of meetings.

approvals yea, but developing it still takes time to get right.

I think approvals take longer... we already had a lot of this worked out before the virus was discovered.

ok so it is not a common cold, it just has symptoms similar to a common cold.

Common human coronaviruses, including types 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1, usually cause mild to moderate upper-respiratory tract illnesses, like the common cold.

so, just looking at this page, have we circled around to covid is a hoax? justin turner is not getting off the hook that easy.

but we also want to make sure what we are putting out there does its job and is not harmful....those are what we are rushing through right now.
