Only 3 states are able to test for the WV. Even these 3 states are not getting accurate results for the following reasons:
- There is no test for
antibodies only the presence of the virus
- The testing is via
nasal swab
- Covid19 rarely
causes upper respiratory symptoms but instead replicates in the lower
lungs
- Because of this
there is not enough of a viral load to be detected by nasal swabs
- The criteria for
testing people is very limited
- To be tested a
patent must have recent travel to China or be in close contact with
someone who traveled there.
- If the travel requirements
are met and the patient is showing symptoms, then they will be tested.
- This means many
cases may be undiagnosed in the USA
- Possible mutation in
Iran and Italy due to increased virulence
- Hibiclens is
ineffective against virus
- Hydrogen peroxide, 62
to 71% ethanol, or bleach water solution are effective against virus
- Stays active on surfaces for 9 days....................T
