CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

He's 46.

He described typical Covid symptoms.  Fever, sore throat, runny nose.  Symptoms persisted for 48 hours and he stayed in bed the whole time except post vaccine without the cough he had when he ruptured the blood vessel in his throat.  Has been to hospital twice since November.


His ruptured blood vessel in his throat was back in December.

To date, he confirms as having had COVID, and yet never got tested.

They are guessing he had covid because his first hospitalisation wasnt because of COVID, his second might have been, but either way they didnt test him, but confirmed he had it and told him to isolate.

I'm sorry to hear he's not been well, I suppose those actions you describe from the medical staff are just the failsafe defaults for all potential cases.

I wonder if he would be counted in official figures, I heard the other day on radio an epidemiologist from Melbourne Uni stating we only really detect and count about 1/3 of total cases. I presume that would be typical in western societies, the detection rate might be far lower in some locations.
