Everything you need to know about at-home rapid Covid tests. How accurate they are, which to buy, and when to take the test for the most accurate results.
The way to answer these questions with highest scientific accuracy is to demand Pfizer and Moderna conduct a randomized controlled trial for each question. There are hundreds of thousands of individuals who struggle with each of these dilemmas. Moreover, both Moderna and Pfizer have profited tremend...
In a prospective cohort study of confirmed COVID-19 infected adults, anosmia-dysgeusia was associated with younger age (< 65 years old), and in cases with severe pneumonia only opacities of lung surface on X-rays > 50% and higher heart rate at admission were independent predictors of...
These results raise the tantalizing possibility of rapidly detecting COVID-19 by rating the perceived intensity of one odorant, such as Basil or Olive Oil, alone. Moreover, we observe that if we generate ROCs for the same 5167 participants that smelled Olive Oil, but base them on their subje...
Author Contributions: Drs Wu and Liu had full access to all of the data in the study and take responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis. Concept and design: Wu, J. Liu, M. Liu. Acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data: Wu, Kang, Guo,...
Individuals worldwide are overwhelmed with news about COVID-19. In times of pandemic, media alternate the usage of different COVID-19 indicators, ranging from the more typical crude mortality rate to the case fatality rate, and the infection fatality rat
9-11 The instructions about the need to quarantine after a negative antigen test came directly from the CDC website4 (eAppendix 2 in Supplement 2 has the exact source text). The intervention instructions were iteratively pretested with potential users and reviewed for accuracy by colleagues. ...
El Dorado Union School District Superintendent Ron Carruth said his district has seen a 1000% increase in their positivity rate since recently switching to the state's lab. "We have questions about the accuracy and validity of the test," Superintendent Carruth said. ...
settings. The role of POC testing for COVID-19 screening, diagnosis, and surveillance has been highlighted, focusing on recent advances in the field. The difference between POC and at-home tests is discussed while elaborating on the necessity for the latter. A spotlight on the impact of ...
We observe that our baseline convolutional network with Softmax outline achieves a high-test accuracy even before the first 100 epochs. The accuracy also peaks above 80% during this phase. Hence an overlap takes place between 0 and 100 epochs, where the error rate comes down while the ...
