But to your point what about the asymptomatic people do they still run a fever?

Um, wut?

Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) is having a shelter in place starting Thursday. How many bets that it is a wild party day tomorrow!?

I’ve noticed that the continually updated national figures are now changing upwards frequently throughout the day. A lot of it is due to catching up on testing and entering new data, I’m sure, but it’s also due to the exponential growth. When cases double every 3-4 days, it gets your attention.

As the case count is affected by our slow testing use, the death rate is pretty instructive. I am assuming that everyone who died did in fact die of COVID-19, or it contributed to their death. That curve is starting to go sharply upward as well.

United States Coronavirus: 41,569 Cases and 504 Deaths - Worldometer Try clicking on this link, noting the US totals, then refreshing it 20-30 minutes later.

And then there’s the state-by-state list (same link). States that were slower than others in restricting social contacts (shutting down schools, etc) have had higher jumps in the rate of increase. Again, I’m not talking about the numbers themselves, which will be larger for populous states and smaller for others. I’m talking about the rate of change - the percentage of how quickly the numbers increase over time. It will be a while before we start seeing any slowing of the case increase rate (the “flattening of the curve.”)

I‘m not quite bored enough yet, but once I get there, I’m going to start a spreadsheet comparing Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Meanwhile, the three cases in my county will probably jump over the next few days, as hundreds of tests are finally in the labs. I expect that we’ll all see that.

Just when I was convinced that calculus would never again be relevant in my life.

Not quite 26 hours later, look at the counts:

I didn't think you worked.

Just to keep in touch with the commoners.

I mentioned this before he announced it and someone said who told you MIT Beaver.

From what I read, they can show a slight fever, right now, the general rule is, if a fever of 100 or above, maybe symptomatic.

Ok thank you. I see I spelt it wrong and who would have thought. Thanks for your answer and support.

I spelt it asymptomatic.

Sup ya'll

I spelt it asymptomatic.

You weren’t wrong if you were asking if people who are asymptomatic can have a fever. The guidelines are as I stated (at least what our facility is going by), anything above 100 is classified symptomatic. It’s just a general rule. I run low, so if my temperature is 98.9, that’s high for me.

12 oz curls don’t qualify as a workout.

So I have been hearing people testing positive but fill fine as asymptomatic. So if you just run a fever does that make you symptomatic?

I don't know, as your mom
