Lakewood covid cases

[rs242]

Just heard (indirectly) from someone who works at a testing site (not Chemed) that they traced ~50 positive cases to one wedding from last week. And that seems to be mostly, if not fully, from that single test site. So I'd venture to say there were probably many more.

I never heard of any test sight that does tracing after someone is positive

Correct, I’m just saying.

This was not an official scientific tracing, just an employee who constantly asks the people where they've been, etc. and put together the pieces.

My wife works in a doctors office and yesterday she tells me the doctor told her that there are about 150 cases linked to one wedding in Boro Park. She had several patients from that wedding in the office with symptoms.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but the testing rate in Lakewood has skyrocketed because of the early treatment options. People who were staunch against testing are now saying to get tested ASAP to see if eligible for treatments which are only available in early stages.

So there’s only higher numbers because more people are testing?

Weddings? We talkin about weddings? C'mon man... WEDDINGS? And I'm not shoving it aside like it don't mean anything. I know it's important. I do. I honestly do. But we're talking about weddings, man. What are we talking about? Weddings? We're talking about weddings, man!

If someone from out of Lakewood gets tested in CHEMED, does the test register to his address or lakewood?

Re the monoclonal treatments, I am told that over 200 people over 65 have tested positive without ANY hospitalizations since they started getting these treatments.

Wow Bh. Have there been any cases of terrible illness or death after someone got the treatment?

In Lakewood or the world?

BH. I hear there are Obgyn's telling their pregnant patients to test every 3 days for Covid, so they can get treatment asap after getting infected

I guess the world.

thanks but not relevant

Would think testing sites are crawling with COVID so it sounds counterintuitive to me to go every three days...

Of course.
