He is obviously a brilliant health care professional, displaying a perfect mix of genuine altruism and technically, extremely competent too. I was an NHS Paramedic and I worked in South Wales until I unfortunately was 'Ill health retired' from the Job I loved.. (Every day, I actually looked forward to going to work...how's that as an indicator of Job satisfaction!) All employees of the NHS are 99.9% good, caring individuals who will give their all to help those in need, couple that with someone who is obviously an academic in his 'field' too and you have a winner! Dr John Campbell is a perfect example of this! He should have some sort of Recognition for his devotion to keep the world informed in a objective, scientific yet sensitive manner...after this nightmare is over, and I am sure that, one day it will be...Dr John Campbell OBE....?

*@pcuimac* how’s gold holding up vs the stock market? Not so foolish all the sudden. Appreciating the value-preservation ability of commodities doesn’t make someone a goldbug. A century ago you could buy a nice suit for 1oz of gold. Today you can still buy a nice suit for 1oz of gold. That’s a fact that causes objective people to consider gold as unusually good at value-preservation. It’s quite difficult to come up with any other way to store value that has that quality and track record. I wish you and yours all the best, cheers!

I agree based on the idea that health care workers are getting sicker because of the "large amounts of the virus" they are being exposed to. Well, then it is reasonable that if you can reduce the amount you are exposed to, your body stands a better chance of fighting it. Masks won't prevent it 100% but it should reduce the exposure.

It should be noted that the category of “mild” is very very broad. While it includes people who aren’t showing symptoms or barely any symptoms, it also includes people who suffer through 12 days of high fever and misery.

Patient: how do we know if we have mild symptoms Doctor: did you die? Patient: no Doctor: then you had mild symptoms Patient: 😩

[@delukxy]

I'm looking at the definition of mild as being between 1 - 80 as per the 80% it covers. Assess the symptoms and assign a number. The first 20 - 30% can have a variety of symptoms with varying degrees of severity but can tough it out at home just like you would with "normal" flu. 31 - 80% scales everything up. Unfortunately local rules might mean you have no chance of getting tested even if you are at the very top of that range. One problem mentioned is that you can be ill with all of the symptoms but can't tick the box that you have been in known contact with someone who has tested positive.

Dave Post, might not want to give nurse Campbell too much credit. If the “good Doctor” was honest, he should have told people to wear masks from practically the start. I’ve been saying for months now on this very channel that masks should be worn. Trying to tell people that they need to wear masks, even if they have to make them home made. Warning people that they need to start wearing masks immediately! This “Dr.” Campbell has been REMOVING my comments, sometimes within minutes of me posting. He has been ACTIVELY suppressing information about masks working. I know it wasn’t KZbin that was removing my comments because I’ve also posted the very same comments on other channels and they weren’t removed. Be aware that this “Dr” also buys into every word uttered from the WHO without question. The WHO is CORRUPT and basically does everything it can to protect China’s interest. The leader of the WHO (Tedros) isn’t even a medical doctor. Tedros is a former Ethiopian politician who acted in a totalitarian fashion and was given a very questionable doctorate. Both my husband and myself work in the medical field and we both knew instinctively that masks were needed when the first reports came out of C19 being spread in aerosols. Anyone who work in the medical field with a lick of sense would have also know it and that includes this “Dr.” Campbell! But they kept their mouths shut because they parroted the WHO. While this nurse Campbell is very good at explaining medical information to the general public, be aware that you should NOT trust him to tell you the full truth.

Anecdotal reports from Intensive care doctors say that 80% of intubated people don't make it. Now if we know that 5-6% of people need icu and we have a fallacy in the number of affected people; do the math yourself. Every single country is spilling bullshit, some more than others. Everything is artificial when there are so many cloudy factors to account. Numbers are down in Italy nonetheless simply because the country has been in lockdown for almost a month now, that's the only reality you can have, because this is the only way you have to stop the virus when you are too late with it and trust me, most of the world is already late with it and doesn't even have the right citizens to deal with it; too many spoiled people around.

Also the idea of thinking this randomly started all in China in november is shet too, because none of the numbers of a single state around the world sit well with the timeline of the spread. just do the math, every state curve can be tracked down to september , way before the first reported cases, unless you change randomly the r0 in the phases of the spread to fit the datas, as they keep doing. 2017, 2018 and 2019 were all terrible years for influenza, it's possible sarscov2 was already around the globe but less pathogenic and then, through concordant evolution, with the upgrade of this year (polybasic protein cleavage) it has shown his presence to the world.

So not to burst your bubble, the Abbott test, "ID NOW" is an Antigen test. You have the virus or not. It is swab based. Antibody testing is either blood spots, dried blood or venous/finger prick. Think diabetes testing. There are numerous firms that have the ELISA based Antibody testing i,e, IgM, IgG, however, ELISA is 96 well plates and the CV ranges 80-90%. Additionally, ELISA is notoriously slow and cumbersome.

[@averybaumann]

Likely they are holding off because detecting that you have had it but are still contagious has limited value, they want a test that shows you had it, are immune and not a carrier-which might not ever happen, we might always be a carrier, or be a carrier for more than a month after symptoms-all these people without symptoms, how long have they had it?

I had exactly these symptoms in late December last year. I felt as if there was something in my lungs and felt very out of breath walking up stairs and so on. At the time I just considered this a normal virus and so therefore continued on a trip we had planned to Brighton for the New Year. I remember walking up that long steep hill to Brighton station carrying my heavy travel bags and forcing myself really hard to complete the walk brisksly as I felt it would strengthen my lungs and help get over the virus. I must say that this was a different virus to the normal ones I am used to: I was checking the pollution levels at home and also felt so clogged up that I though there may have been some sort of chemical spill from nearby factories releasing irritants. Unfortunatelty, just as everybody who has a similar story right now, I have no idea if this was or wasn't COVID-19 and am sticking to all the suggested precautions. The virus was first identified in late November 2019 so i'm wondering if I was actually one of the first to get it in this country somehow...

[@wyqtor]

Some (bad) news from my country Romania: we are on lockdown (i.e., we need to have a paper if we get out of the house, stating the reason of our exit) but the situation is overall still pretty bad. Prior to the extension of quarantine for people coming from Western Europe, when only home isolation for 14 days was required, a lot of people were found out of their homes, not respecting the rules - which is probably the main reason we have over 4000 total cases as of today. Thankfully, mandatory institutionalized quarantine was recently extended to anyone returning from Western Europe. This should have been done a month ago, but better late than never! The biggest outbreak (currently over 1200 cases) is currenly in Suceava county and Suceava city, where the hospital acted as the main source of the outbreak, partly due to the lack of PPE and partly due to the sheer incompetence of the doctors working there. The city is in a more restrictive quarantine, i.e. you can't leave the city unless you have a very good reason and there are police checkpoints all around. There are HUGE problems in many other hospitals with spread of COVID-19 (especially in those not specialized in treating infectious diseases), to the point that all hospitals in the country stopped accepting anything but emergencies or COVID-19 patients. There were even cases of infected nurses and doctors in a maternity clinic in Timisoara city (still no news on the results of the tests for the babies). There is a huge lack of testing, our country has received some 200.000 tests from South Korea in late March and we are only receiving another batch of 200.000 in late April. We basically have to compete for tests and equipment with richer European countries (like the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain) and we don't have their bargaining power. We were also supposed to get an order of ventilators, but that fell through, as all European countries want to keep as many as possible for their own citizens. The current plan is to repair a few old ventilators that are currently broken and that were probably going to be discarded. The current lockdown has been extended, because in the absence of tests, staying home is the only thing we can do. Personally I live a in a small town in the countryside, I usually work with my father in our small shop but we had to close down completely, since there are a few worrying reports of cases in neighboring villages.

A light exposure does not mean a light infection- it means a lower chance of getting infected at all. Not every viroid (virus particle) will be successful. Once you do become infected, your own cells will mass-produce viroids by the billions. An analogy would be sperm count. It only takes one to fertilize an egg, but if your count is below 15 million, you are unlikely to become a father at all. A high sperm count is not going to make a woman "more pregnant".

China could quarantine Hubei province for 2 months, but not the entire nation. After the 2-month quarantine was ended, the country would be ruined as if it had lost a war.

​@@kevinbyrne4538 But China did it. To save the people is the most important thing for the government and country. If no people, what is the economy for? why should the elders be sacrificed for the economy? The countries are built by the wisdom elders' hard work. They raise us up, we need to make them live longer and saver, not the other way around. We are currently in a war to fight the virus. After win the war, everything will be back to normal and be even better.

"I wouldn't let a cat lick me..." Good news and humor. Nicely played, doctor.

My heart goes out to those and their families who get infected, and have little to no health care. Thank you Dr. Campbell for sharing your gift.

[@markgilchrist860]

I have no heath care, but then again I live in a country that is civilised enough to have universal healthcare, as do most first world countries.

[@griffin2263]

I dont understand what it would be like to live in a country without medical ! it would be awful it worry about getting sick

[@CMoore8539]

@TWOHAWK 1 It would be a bad time to get sick in a third world country. That is sad.

[@adisababa9904]

TWOHAWK 1 My friend, this is the UK., other than prescription drugs, the entire system is free. We only worry about the sickness, not the financial cost of getting sick or injured. My heart goes out you and your fellow Americans that can’t even comprehend what that looks like. Here in the UK we can’t comprehend becoming bankrupt and homeless because of you medical bills.

[@suesheification]

I feel sorry for anyone who has us healthcare like me.

I did have a chuckle at John not allowing cats to lick him at the moment.

“How long does it take to learn from the mistakes of others?” As a race? So far at least 8 or 10 thousand years, but that’s only because that’s how long we’ve been writing things down. As far as I know, no one has proven that we’re capable of that at all.

[@Evan490BC]

We are slow learners indeed...

[@ashyosings5089]

We can personally learn from others, however as a herd the govt. are very good at creating divide and distraction.

[@charleyh7263]

This!

@The Macallan that is why there is around AI (Artificial Intelligence), no market for Artificial Stupidity :-))

[@devilsadvocatetrolledition3183]

Jim Butcher main thing is we don’t learn the mistake of still warring each other. All countries spend silly amounts of money on waging it. As an example $700billion dollars USA spent on military last year( $2100 per American) imagine the health capacity that would create for situations like this? Germany aren’t allowed a military “attacking” force due to their previous actions, still spend a bit on defending obviously but. Per 1000 people Germany 8 beds America 2.8 beds UK 2.5 beds. Look how well Germany are coping. For a few years after this a massive push on health will cover the world... then back to murder tools and health system drop. Unfortunately you are right we will never learn

I'm incredibly proud of California for being as proactive as they have been. The only issue I have is that they didn't do it sooner, but I think it helped that so many large businesses in the bay area reacted over a week before the state did. Still, there's so much happening in the states that just makes me sad for my country.
