Yale researcher says new coronavirus saliva test 'might miss' people with low infection levels

  • Yale researcher Anne Wyllie told CNBC on Tuesday the school's new saliva-based test for the coronavirus may not always detect people who have low infection levels.
  • "There's more of a chance that we might miss that very, very low viral load, so when the virus is only starting to pick up in an individual," Wyllie said on "Squawk Box."
  • But that potential weakness can be offset by regular testing, Wyllie emphasized

India's invisible catastrophe: fears over spread of Covid-19 into poor rural areas
Some 600 million Indians live in in rural areas, and fears are rising that they could be overwhelmed by an invisible catastrophe, where many will die without testing or treatment. Data from the National Family Health Survey-4 showed that only about 25% of rural Indians have access to public outpatient (OPD) healthcare.
There are also grave concerns for around 70% of India’s elderly population, who live in villages. Co-morbidities abound and are often left untreated because medical services are far away.
India’s top epidemiologist Jayaprakash Muliyil, who believes up to half of India’s population (670 million people) will get the virus, says that most people with co-morbidities in rural India fail to get treatment.
“This group, and the elderly, are more prone to getting the virus. With limited resources, their families will not rush an elderly person to hospital if they have a fever,” said Muliyil. “They will be allowed to die. That is the reality in rural India where life expectancy is 65.”
Since the deaths will be spread out across huge geographical districts, some as big as 10,000 sq km (London is 1,572 sq km), Muliyil says the real scale of the human tragedy will only emerge much later, if at all.
Anecdotal evidence also suggests that daily wage labourers will not reveal their symptoms for fear of separation from their families, the stigma, and losing their wages by being quarantined.
“People in the rural areas are hiding their symptoms and are not coming forward to get tested even when the testing van is reaching the village,” said Dr Ravindra Sharma, a senior medical officer in Lakhmipur Kheri district, in India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, which neighbours Uttarakhand.

This virus is so unpredictable, its hard to say what is what. Its almost eerily strange how difficult it is to predict what outcomes will be.

Australia seems surprisingly authoritarian. They don’t fuck around with “rule breakers”. I know dick about Australia but I see a lot of news media and social media stuff from down there that surprises me.

The US needs to be more authoritarian

It's beginning. Expect to see these "vaccines" (Bill Gates' injectable tracking chips) become mandatory everywhere, especially here in the US.

And those chips run Windows(TM).

In the future, 'he's turning blue' and 'blue screen of death' will refer to the exact same thing.

Portland doesn’t have any legitimate law enforcement. I’m sure they’re still writing parking tickets though while people are getting beaten bloody in the streets. Gotta make sure Wheeler gets his paycheck.
 
That toxic oleander extract Trump promoted as a miracle cure because My Pillow guy said so has no efficacy in preventing or treating Corona virus. It is, however, known to induce abortion.

Aha, then it does have a use. Trump should tout that. Perhaps he should buy stock in that company and then tout it. Hey, the buck beats all other considerations in Trump's world.
