This includes what these terrible natural disasters could become if they are turned into either purposeful or accidental biochemical weapons. Early in this pandemic there was a significant setback when the disease became a political issue. This is not unusual with severe pandemics. They always result in tremendous political upheaval, lockdowns, resistance to lockdowns, even the collapse of society and empires.

There are 4 major types of tests for SARS-Cov-2 disease. Each test will have its own sensitivity and specificity established to indicate its accuracy. Of course, there will be a number of manufacturers and their tests will have their individual levels of specificity and sensitivity for each of these types of tests. PCR TESTING - The most common test is a molecular test that will directly test for the virus particle u2013 all of which are considered nucleic acid amplification tests. Of the various types of these tests, the most sensitive and specific is the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction or RT-PCR, commonly referred to as a u201cPCR Test.u201d This is performed either as a swab deep in the nose, a swab at the end of the nose (usually performed as a dab into each nostril), or from a mouth swab or saliva spit test. These tests cannot tell if the virus particle is infective, only that it is there. This is an important distinction. For these tests to be accurate, the timing is critical. ANTIGEN TESTING - An antigen test is also performed as a deep nasal swab, nasal swab that is not so deep, throat swab or a saliva spit test. This test detects proteins produced by the virus. There are 29 proteins that make up the SARS-Cov-2 virus. Much of the work done on test and vaccine development is against the proteins making the S spike protein (several types of them) and the capsule substance called nucleocapsid phosphoprotein N. The antigen tests will most likely be accurate from about two days before symptoms develop (4 days after exposure) to days after symptom development. ANTIBODY TESTING - Your body starts making antibodies called IgA, IgM, and IgG within 1 to 2 weeks of the onset of infection. These antibodies will last for weeks, at least 8 and maybe detectable for much longer. These are the humoral antibodies as opposed to the cell-mediated immune response consisting of B-cell and T-cells which may well last a lifetime. Testing for the appropriate B-cell and T-cells is exceedingly difficult and will not be available as routine tests but are an important research tool to determine how long persons will remain immune due to natural disease or immunizations. VIRUS CULTURE - A viable virus culture means that the virus that was tested was able to reproduce when placed into experimental laboratory cells. This is the proof that the virus tested was contagious. Nasal swabs for the PCR test only identify that virus particles were found, not that the virus was capable of infection. You may remain positive for viral particles for an average of 17 days (maximum tested so far has been 83 days), while most people are probably not contagious after 10 days from onset of symptoms. The appropriate location for taking the test changes as the virus moves through the system starting at the nose, then working its way deeper to the nasal pharynx, finally into the lungs. Nasal secretions for PCR may remain positive for an average of 17 days as mentioned above, but they may become negative long before. The actual infection is moving deeper as it continues, so even nasal swab PCR tests are frequently negative when a person is dying of severe lung infection while they may remain falsely positive when the person is immune and no longer shedding contagious virus particles (only non-viable virus particles). Properly performed, the virus culture proves infection is present. MINIMAL INFECTIOUS DOSE The understanding of the concept of minimal infective dose is critical to making a decision about the importance of masks, social distancing, and the use of vaccines. Virtually any logical basis for dealing with the social impacts of mitigating this disease will take advantage of the fact that this disease, like every disease, has a MID50 and a minimal infective dose. MID50 is prime proof that medicine is not binary u2013 it is not a u201cyesu201d or u201cnou201d type of business. The MID50 refers to dose of an infectious agent that will cause 50 percent of a group of people to catch a disease. This is why masks and social distancing can both work and fail to work. If you were to get sick from a disease by being exposed to only one germ, almost nothing would protect you. You are contacted by germs all the time. Numerous different kinds of germs, even including SARS-CoV-2. The reason you are not sick, not dead, is your defense against these germs is robust enough to protect you from most of them. The Prepperu2019s Medical Handbook Wilderness Medicine Beyond First Aid Doctor On Board The Prepperu2019s Guide To Surviving Pandemics, Bioterrorism, and Infectious Basic Illustrated Wilderness First Aid Classic Campfire Stories Description This book provides the basis of prevention, identification, and long-term management of survivable medical conditions. It details preparation, and response protocols, and tells you when to return to the grid and what to do if you cannot. Wilderness Medicine Beyond First Aid is essential reading for any trail user. Packed with information, this book is the ultimate resource for anyone faced with providing urgent care when access to a medical facility is difficult or impossible. Managing injury and illness on open water requires appropriate supplies and medical guidance easily understood by both Captain and crew. Whether itu2019s sea sickness, lightning, exotic illness or injury, this is your Doctor On Board. Medical educator Professor William Forgey, M.D., takes the mystery our of how variants form, how vaccine differ, and the approaches used in past pandemics and how to respond to this one. Techniques for handling injury and illness in the wild are far different than those used in urban environments. This book will help you handle serious injuries on your own when immediate medical assistance is unavailable. Need a good scary story to tell to youngstersu2013or to anyone, young or old who wants a little fright before going off to sleep in the great outdoors?
