With nothing more than gut feeling to back this up, seems obvious that there’s a shitload of undiagnosed cases in Australia

People don’t get infected in the burbs if it’s not out there

I had a nasty cold in February that started out as a sore throat

Could feel the lymph nodes swollen and painful near my throat (if that's what it is)

Plus sinus pains on my face

Idk if that was corona but no one else with me got infected

If you didn't get a fever then those symptoms likely weren't COVID-related. IIRC fever is present in >90% of symptomatic COVID cases.

Just got tested (again). Asymptomatic once again, but exposed to a whole new cluster of people (outside of patients) at work. So we will see.

It's interesting. Some data shows a fever of about 71% (~90% get fever, shortness of breath or cough). Other data (taken in hospitals) that if you need hospitalization, you almost certainly have a recent history (or current) fever. So I don't think we really know the true rate of fever per actual infection (rather than rate of fever for those seeking care).

Wow.. we had a guy who was covid positive in a different block of our apartment. He tested positive on 2 July and today his entire family tested positive. :( Is there any reason to suspect this can be airborne , at least within confined spaces like someone's home?

Hasn't the WHO aslready confirmed airborne transmission is a real thing for this coronavirus?

Grim world we live in.

They did not confirm. They said it maybe true as those tests are being done now, but the very fact that it is even considered a possibility is grim. Spark or one of the other scientifically minded posters can confirm/deny about that...

Family clusters, all with covid, has been a very common phenomena since the very beginning. Whether its airborne or not, being in close contact and being indoors with each other for an extended period of time is going to increase the chances of spreading almost any respiratory infection.

It's absolutely **** being in India right now. It seems like the lockdowns/social distancing and so on is going to continue for a long, long time. :(
