Doesn't it have like a 40% mortality rate?

Sigh. Not great but not ready to freak out yet. “Mildly positive” is an asinine take. Did they mean mild symptoms?

Justan24

What the fuck does mildly positive mean?

A PCR test is positive or negative. These people are either incompetent or lying.

Tania J. Spencer21

"Mild", with a high case fatality rate (CFR), estimated between 25% and 50%. Okay then.

It's a dichotomy FFS. Mildly pregnant? Mildly dead? Come on Reuters you're better than this.

This kinda how COVID started. Remember?

Bryan Marchese4

They have the fucking disease or not you god damn fucking idiots. There is no mild fuck you...only FUCK YOU!

Josh Colletta, professional loudmouth3

"Mildly positive?!" The fuck does "mildly positive" mean?! There is positive and there is negative. There is no in-between. You either have it or you don't.

Harter Lancet2

Youre getting mildly dragged for "mildly positive" and frankly it should be significantly more

drraymond.medsky.social2

When a test is either positive or negative there is NO mildly positive. This is shite journalism

They need to be put into Quarantine until they find a way to stop the spread.

So the money must go towards to suing the ship company

Is this based on a spicyness scale?

I also saw a report that a person can transmit infection prior to displaying symptoms towards the end of this. www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/infectiou...

Good luck with “active monitoring”.

WHO, they still aren't saying it's airbourne transferable. They say you need extended contact with someone infected. Haven't WHO learnt, haven't world governments learnt. 🤷

Remember when Americans had meltdowns because we were told to wear masks?

Maria finally woke up. One pandemic disaster about to become two.

Hopefully the WHO is getting involved with monitoring the passengers of the St Helena to Johannesburg flight. aerospaceglobalnews.com/news/airlink... I’d sure as shit be isolating myself (and I wear an N95 when traveling) if I had been on that plane.

That's uh... that's now how qualitative detection thresholds work.

It's a woman, and she's just a little bit pregnant

So weird to call it a "mild" positive instead of the more common "weak" positive. "Mild" doesn't really mean anything in this context.

Just one virus particle was detected.

“Idk guys it was a faint line on the test, so they’re like, only kinda positive?”

JFC Did it take 30 cycles to see a signal? lol

FedUp ❌👑 (she/her/y'all)2

My thought its like when you're at the end of COVID and you're testing for negative and there is one pale line. Perhaps s/he has the virus but it's weakened? Who freaking knows...HHS asshat secretary controls every word that comes out of CDC, and usually he's wrong 🤬

He said it is airborne and does not require "close, prolonged" contact, and he cited two studies that prove that. He said the main concern is to prevent spread from quarantined individuals to household members, and he discussed ventilation, but did not mention respirators.

Here in the US, one of the cable news shows had on a physician who read the science (!) and reported fully, honestly, and accurately about the virus, this outbreak, and how it should be handled. It was refreshing to see a knowledgeable, competent professional delivering accurate information.
