It's so weird that you could have the internal damage and abnormal lung scans, but still feel fine.
Our bodies are incredibly resilient. People live for years with all sorts of diseases and don't realize it. The problem with this one is we have zero knowledge of its long-term effects, but it's slowly becoming clear that they will be varied and bad.
Agree. I've had 5 days of dry cough and mild breathing problems in spike allergy season. Have I had covid? Probably, because before my 5 "weird" days, my oldest daughter was really sick. This was back in March and my daughter had 'the flu' with fever, dry cough, hard to breathe and headache. It took her three times the period she'd been sick to get better. And in this time she lost her sense of smell.
I really hope that as many as possible go through this virus with mild symptoms and that our bodies remember and can pick up the fight when exposed again.
Only half of 2020 has passed and throughout of my life I've experienced some sh!t, but this year is on the verge of being erased. Because so far 2020 kind of s÷cks.
I wish you all good health and mild symptoms.
@@jsoqbwbeks2653 : Thank you for informing us of the existence of that factually inaccurate video.
I know. The scar tissue formation blows my mind.
I think the symptoms are not too strong in them because their immune cells did not go on overdrive.
Lungs: haaaaalp
Brain: this is fine
as it should be
SarsCV2 Virophage huh
I wonder how this works out, having your lungs infected without having symptoms.
Wyatt Cheng (that one guy on BlizzCon 2018): "Do you guys don't breath?!"
That's usually how it is in respiratory diseases in the early stages
This is actually a very funny perspective
Watched the film contagion the other day and they didn't have anyone actively denying and disobeying the govt measures. I thought it was funny because if they had, it would've been decried as unrealistic because no one is that stupid...or so we thought
Watch the, "ANDROMEDA STRAIN"
@Bobby Boy yes, but that disobeying historically comes from systemic oppression and abuse, not from being asked to wear a mask.

As a brazilian MD, used to regarding CDC and FDA as trustworthy, considering USA's and Brazil politics polluting the discussion and fact finding, I never expected to one day to use a youtube's channel for kids to help me differentiate where the good science and trustworthy studies are coming from. Keep up the good work, you haven't let me down not even once so far. Thank you.
This isn't the kid channel, but it's still a RUclips channel.
Not for kids at all. They are just cool.
Are you calling SciShow a channel for kids? Hahahaha

I think it's for all ages. Schools tend to use their videos so a lot of people thinks it's for kids.
This is what happened to my friend who felt totally fine cuz she was asymptomatic so she went home to meet with her parents (aged ~50) and gave it to them. Her mom had a severe case where she couldn't breathe and her dad had been hospitalised since 2 months now.
Even if the virus doesn't affect you, you have to be careful so you can take care of the people you love.
Sorry to say, but your friend should turn herself in to the law enforcement to be arrested and tried for attempted murder of her own mom and dad!!!
@@ralphjames1211 are u crazy what if that happens to u
@@ralphjames1211 🤡
Ralph James incorrect because that would mean she intended to give her parents covid which no one can prove
@@ralphjames1211 I highly doubt you're any kind of saint. In this case, you should be arrested as well, because unless you've been in extreme isolation for the last couple of months, you've been potentially exposing other to the virus as well. You could have it right now, and every time you've been leaving your house, you've been putting other people's lives at risk. So I would suggest stop being a hypocrite.
Internal organs: help me I'm dying
Brain: ya'll hear something?
😂😂 wth!?
You guys! Stop panicking! 😘
LMAOOOO
Actually, in the case of lung infection it’s more like “emergency, code blue, battle stations everyone”.

Thank you SciShow for helping people stay informed and alert without targeting fear and anxiety reactions. There a doctor youtuber by name of Doctor Mike who is constantly encouraging us to stay 'Alert, not Anxious', and I feel like that needs to be a mantra across COVID-19 coverage.
Friendly reminder to others, do not feed the trolls. Ignore them and carry on.
@Kushners illegitamate trans baby Humankind try hardly to explaining Everything
Doctor Mike wouldn’t do a debate with any real virologist because he knows absolutely nothing on the matter. It’s the blind leading the blind.
@@mayeramschelrothschild3126 why would Dr. Mike need to "debate" a virologist? I've not seen him say anything in videos that go against what virologists are saying so that sure would make for a boring debate.
Also apparently you subscribe to Del Bigtree who has zero medical training but runs the anti-vaxination group Informed Consent Action Network, who produced the film Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe based on thediscredited views of Andrew Wakefield on an alleged connection between vaccines and autism.
"During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bigtree used the webcast to propagate a number of conspiracy theories, such as the one postulating that the virus responsible was made in a laboratory by the pharmaceutical industry. Going against the advice of health authorities, he recommended to his audience not to wear mask, to refuse the vaccine when it would be developed and to actually make efforts to infect themselves with the virus."
So I guess you're right, the blind sure are leading the blind. Yet they appear to think they're the only ones who can see.
Ian Grams Everything he is saying is going along with scientific consensus. Scientific consensus is much different than the scientific method. The scientific method contradicts mostly everything he states as being “universal truths” in the medical community. Vaccines are not safe and effective. Viruses do not cause disease. And masks certainly do not help anything, other than putting the wearer into a state of hypoxia. Which explains why all the mask wearers have such a low IQ and need other “experts” to put thoughts in their head. Let me ask you this, can you show me ONE scientific study that has filtered, isolated, purified and cultured a virus - in the history of virology? Furthermore, can you show me ONE study that shows a virus is transmittable from one person to another, via culturing the virus in healthy cells and seeing it infect others - or through consistent spreading and symptomatic expressions? I can save you some time, none of that has ever been done in the history of virology. Go research the experiments done during the 1918 “flu” if you don’t believe me, they attempted to get hundreds sick through “infected” cultures - not a single person got sick. Do you know who Kary Mullis is? He invented the rt-PCR test that’s being used to diagnose everyone, maybe go watch his special on ABC news about the massive HIV scandal, fraud and coverup. Guess who was the head of research on HIV? Fauci. The same man perpetuating this myth of a virus that’s never been proven to exist through the scientific method, which really isn’t asking much and is not costly in respect to other processes they are using. The reason they don’t use the scientific method is because the scientific method shows through experimentation and experience that viruses do not exist, and certainly don’t cause disease. Viruses are exosomes. Toxicities cause disease. And my god are there plenty of toxicities nowadays - industrial waste chemical “medicine” is ripe with them.
I'd also say some asymptomatic patients may be people "toughing it out." Mild symptoms in Los Angeles such as shortness of breath and coughing could easily be mistaken for reactions to our crappy air quality. There's a lot we gloss over when under stress too, like headaches, and fatigue.

September 2019 I had pneumonia, December 2019 had pneumonia again, June 2020 diagnosed with bronchitis now tested again for covid and sent home to quarantine. I’m so over all this I just want to be healthy again.
i feel so sorry you have to go through this. God’s gonna be right by your side
No one asked
for a second i thought, who read my mind but i’m having similar experience except i’m positive
OMG bless you I pray for your safe recovery
Isekai Ty I’m sorry hun hoping you get full recover
I love how apolitical *Sci Show* is.
You guys always point out all the salient points and relevant facts. And you don't shy away from discussing problems and shortcomings of what we think we know. You guys are never premature about this stuff and I really respect that.
Q- How not to get covid?
A- Avoid people.
Say no more.
Is there a Asymptomatic lung infection? For sure there is Symptomatic corruption in media companies, governments and international organisations. Wake up People. If you don't believe me look up Wuhan pool party in august. It's ok to have a pool party there, elswhere it would be forbidden as deadly disease would come for you. Avoid people, listen to media, keep the distance, wear mask, test, finally va**nate. Still it's wont go away, they tell it to us. We're being rolled out. It's just the politics and bunch of few trying to transform(enslave?) many.
I’ll hold my own beer.
That's how I feel but no one will listen !!!
Ppl who don't have any symptoms are fine. Their lying when they say there still damage to the body, they're fear-mongering don't want the asymptomatic ppl to go out of control.
It sucks because i work and thats how i got the virus and i have to qaurentine another week
Thanks Bro! I appreciate the calm voice when talking about important information such as this. You speak very well. Please keep doing what you do!
Basically we really don't know much yet after half a year about Covid 19.
Yeah but hindsight is 2O 2O 📉😎📈
@@JTA1961 That joke is bad and you should feel bad. I still laughed.
6 months is clearly not enough time.
It takes a looooong time to really know the full story. Right now, research is mainly focused on how to interfere with the mechanisms of the virus rather than seeing precisely which parts of the body are infected and why they're infected (as that would take much longer and would need to happen in more controlled settings that aren't a human body)
Yup. So get comfy cause it's gonna be a while. Nothin worth having comes easy - this includes relief from a world-ending pandemic.
Fascinating, as always. This is why I love you guys - bringing interesting (and relevant) topics to explain to us "normal" people who have a causal interest in science (and how that science affects current topics).
Thank you for keeping us informed. I have thyroid cancer & am absolutely terrified of getting covid-19. This is a subject that I've been wondering about, but just couldn't find any clear info about it anywhere.
pessimistic ideas because nobody from medical field knows exactly what is really happened so internet is the worst place for information, I came here for entertainment by reading the comments because in reality all advice that you find here are garbage
I have asthma and I can't say for sure that I caught it or not, but in mid March, I remember for weeks staying home. I had fever, coughing, sore throat, and headaches regularly. I didn't do anything but stay home and rest. I didn't take any remedies or treatments or called a doctor. Just stayed home and rest. Weeks later, I slowly recover and no longer experienced anything. To this day I don't feel any issues. Idk if it was the virus or something else.
I was super nervous because I have asthma and thought my lungs were going to be the end of me. But again, I don't know what affected me.
Practice safety protocol and you will be good to go. Don't be super anxious.
@@cybzer0560 I think that's one of the scariest part of covid, besides the randomness. How some people with other health issues are fine, but others die. Then you have some perfectly healthy folks who die. No rhyme or reason.
@@MrOvidiuk I have tried reading a few of the scientific articles that have been published regarding Covid-19, but to be completely honest with you I'm just not smart enough to really "get" them. I agree with you that going online for info on Covid-19 isn't a great idea, but I'm not sure where else to look at this point.
And, yes, sometimes these comments can be extremely entertaining! Lol
I hope you got the vaccine
I love this guy's voice. It's calm and soothing.
you are exactly the kind of persons governments would love to clone by the millions.
I'm almost certain I've gotten it more than once at this point; unavoidable for me, I was volunteering at food banks. I didn't feel particularly sick, but I had a sudden shortness of breath two weeks ago and I've been recovering since. It was sort of like asthma. Bright side, it convinced me to finally quit smoking altogether.
I doubt it
@@KnightRaymund what exactly is your doubt? That there was an infection? There was a bright side? He/she can quit smoking?
I hope you've self-quarentined! And also kudos for quitting smoking, they don't make it easy.
@@innocento.1552 The doubt is probably about the infection. People are really bad at diagnosing themselves and many aren't educated enough to understand the difference between a cold and the flu. Best to go to the doctor
@@innocento.1552 that they had it twice. It's possible they didn't have it at all. But the likelihood of it being twice this close together is slim. Not impossible but without proof chances are it wasn't. The symptoms of it are just so varied and non-specific that you can't reliably self-diagnose.
This new strategy for testing is brilliant!!
Thanks to whoever came up with the simple yet effective idea.
It's basically the balance puzzle, which is solved using a specialized version of a binary search.
I couldn’t find a canonical origin for the balance problem, most everywhere just refers to it as "old".
Binary search has been around since about the 1940s, though it wasn't terribly useful until some improvements were made in the 1960s, though it's worth a mention that the basic idea that makes it work has been around since at least 200 BCE.
Someone figuring out that you can apply this to testing is a really good argument for cross-training 😃

Thanks so much for explaining this..you do it so well..
Stay safe everyone, wear a mask, wash your hands and avoid large groups 😲
@ Miss .Danni TIGER Thanks alot

Trying to stop a virus with anything you can breathe through is like trying to stop mosquitoes with a chainlink fence.
@@BigMobe thats why social distancing n all is introduced..its not just abt wearing masks..n i dont think its known yet that virus can persist in the air n spread through it..in that case,avoiding crowds and quarantining is the only way..its not that grt to say ,'hey there we cant do anything ,so lets do nothing'!!studies are progressing..what if its not air borne? Sanitising and washing hands may save lifes..so i think there is no issue taking proper precautions , nevertheless atleast to get cautious abt the situation
You forgot to mention ventilate indoor rooms if people from multiple households meet. Airborne transmission is much more common than via fomites.
We've known this for months actually. In fact, my hospital was one of the first in the US to start obtaining chest CT imaging studies on asymptomatic patients with Covid-19 (patients that do not have any symptoms but have tested positive) as early as April 2020.
The CT studies showed these asymptomatic patients had pulmonary abnormalities such as focal unilateral to diffuse bilateral ground-glass opacities which we often see rapidly progress to or co-existed with pulmonary consolidations, some resulting in central scarring of pulmonary tissue or even pulmonary fibrosis; which is usually observed in patients who have had chronic pulmonary diseases.
Is it permanent damage?
That's quite scary: that it can lead to scarring of the lungs in asymptomatic carriers.
I learned something new in this about fans that I didn’t think of before. Thank you for this. I can use this in my workplace!
An excellent video. I was one of those who was asymptomatic (early April). The only reason I was tested was due to the fact that others I knew had the infection. I never had any symptoms whatsoever (although there was one evening when I felt slightly flushed). I was told to self-quarantine for two weeks and I extended that self-quarantine for a month simply because of so many unknown transmission factors. Now that Spain is experiencing somewhat of a resurgence (I live outside of Barcelona) I have decided to go ahead again and to stay away from the public for another few weeks. Too much is unknown. While it might be an inconvenience for me to remain at home, if it saves even one life of an older person, it is worth it. Thanks again for a well-researched and informative video.
I remember reading an article back in April or May that strength and duration of antibody presence for at least some other coronaviruses correlates with symptom severity- it would be interesting to see studies that include people who have recovered from moderate or severe COVID-19 infections and looks at how their immunity compares to those with milder symptoms.
Come now, they're not tryna talk about natural immunity. Theres only the liquid, pills or patch. The loot
Lungs: hey, how ya doin well I’m doin just fine I lied I’m dying inside 🙃
If your lungs are dying inside you'd feel it...just like smokers feel it...just like your feel it if you're drowning...
People with tb feel it...

Riaz Adhikari 🤣🤣🤣💯
Covid-19 can not have a vaccine unless they reinvented vaccines from the ground up. The nonsense about vaccines for Covid-19 is Just that, Nonsense.
Covid-19 is a Corona Virus. The same type of Virus as the common cold.
The common cold has killed 80,000 people a year, or more, every year, for over 200 years. Yet, despite this they still can't cure it because of the traits of the Virus.
The same traits Covid-19 has, thus Covid-19 can't actually get a vaccine, ever.
Any vaccine they make would be nothing but a placebo, or only immunize you to one strain. Thus, it would be completely useless.
Alternatively, it would require a brand new vaccine every 20 days or more just based on the number of strains we know already exist in just over 12 months. Namely, at minimum 16 in America alone.
As they can't get any working vaccine in over 12 months if they finally say they have one it would be a lie unless they completely reinvented the way they worked.
As of now we would need no less than 16 different vaccines for Covid-19 as well as a brand new one every 20 days. This would then have to be sustainable forever.
That Mind you is the minimum.
For the Cold they opt to treat the symptoms because it isn't that deadly.
Here are the traits of a Corona Virus;
1. It is super contagious.
2. It is very quick to mutate especially when it is under siege.
Namely, exactly what we are doing with it. Hence why there is already more than 16 strains in America alone.
3. It is not very deadly.
To prove this Point of Covid-19 not being very deadly, I will use the official numbers as of the moment of this post for America because America is as bad as all of the EU combined.
15,159,529 Total cases
288,906 Total deaths.
To find out what the mortality rate is you would divide the second number by the first and move the Decimal point 2 spaces to the left for the %
This puts the Mortality rate at Just under 2%
1.9% to be exact
That is just above the normal common cold
At 1.3%
The only Risk that Covid-19 poses that the Normal Common cold hasn't already posed for over 200 years is the slightly higher risk of secondary infection due to a slightly higher load on the immune system.
In short, as long as you treat it like the common cold then you are likely fine even if you get it.
!. boost your immune system. IE Vitamin D and Vitamin C.
2. Treat the symptoms.
3. Then stay home if you are sick and get bed rest and eat chicken noodle soup.
You stay home and get bed rest so you can fight it off and So that you don't get sick with something that isn't Covid-19 while you have Covid-19.
Covid-19 is Barely more dangerous than the Normal Common Cold.
In fact this panic and nonsense actually makes the risk it poses higher for a number of reasons.
1. It mutates faster when under siege.
2. Less outside = less vitamin D, thus weaker immune system
3. The fact people are panicked they are not thinking clearly thus are acting in a way more likely to spread the virus not less likely.
For just one example of us not thinking clearly leading to us actively increasing the spread.
We keep using Anti-Bacterial hand sanitizer to kill A Virus.
All While That doesn't kill viruses and it says it right on the Label.
"Usable for killing Bacteria on the hands."
A Virus is NOT A Bacteria.
People who tell you otherwise would Fail a middle school level biology class.
For a virus you would use soap and water. This is something you can acquire in any bathroom in most nations. This is also something we learned in Elementary school.
The worst part is this is something that America's Top doctors have clearly Proven they Don't know with their own words.
Namely, Jerome Adams Surgeon General of the United States and Anthony Fauci American Doctor and high ranking member of the WHO.
They were the Idiots who started the Hand sanitizer nonsense, when we should be using soap and water.
Thus, they have both Proven that they are not capable of properly passing middle school level biology let alone capable of practicing medicine.
Any illness can be a threat if we do what amounts to running around like headless chickens, and Not even our top doctors are capable of a middle school level understanding of Medical science.
We should deal with this smart Not panic like we did with every illness until now.
This is what Normal people can actually do that would actually work;
1. Wash your hands with soap and water regularly. NOT Hand sanitizer.
2. Do not touch your face after touching a potentially infected surface until you wash your hands.
3. Give people an arms length personal space.
4. get lots of vitamin D and Vitamin C. That means carrots, oranges, sun, milk and cheese
5 If you get sick stay home and get bed rest.
6. Treat the symptoms with the proper medication. Anti Fever medication for fever. Cough medication for cough, and so on.
7. Don't cough on people.
8. Some exercise to be healthier so you can more easily fight off illnesses.
9. Don't Panic!
10. A mask perhaps.
However, if even most people could do even some of the before mentioned 8 we likely wouldn't need them. Masks are only needed as an anti-idiot measure.
To pretend other wise shows you don't know the first thing about illnesses, nor history.
Sadly, most of our nation including most of our doctors are apparently total idiots. So for now a mask helps.
These are all things we learned in elementary school.
As for our leaders here is what they should do on top of those average people things;
1. Fire Jerome Adams Surgeon General of the United States and Anthony Fauci American Doctor and high ranking member of the WHO.
2. Do not leave those positions vacant.
Actually replace them with people who could pass a middle school level biology class at the minimum.
The prior 2 is because their advice has actively made this problem worse consistently for months. Due mainly to their clearly complete lack of basic medical knowledge.
3. Look at this as a common cold that is 1.5x to 2x more serious, that has a somewhat Unique trait of lowering a person's immune system.
This results in them being more at risk from other illnesses while they are sick with it, like aids does but on a lower level and for only around 2 weeks or so.
Mainly, because that is exactly what Covid-19 is.
4. Give up on a vaccine, It will NOT happen, unless the vaccine is completely re-invented from the ground up.
5. Instead of a cure to prevent it as that won't happen, Come up with New effective treatments that can treat the illness or symptoms once people are sick.
Taking a double dose of the amount of Tylenol used fighting a normal cold, to lower fever, isn't sustainable.
Mainly, because Tylenol kills the liver.
That is actually far more deadly long term, than Covid-19 could ever be as Liver Failure tends to have a 70% death rate vs the less than 2% from Covid-19.
So, we need methods to deal with Covid-19 that doesn't increase the risk of death with prolonged use to 35 times the death rate of Covid-19
6. STOP LISTENING TO THE MEDIA. They are no different than tabloids in the 1990's.
30% of what they say is total fiction including the weather. You could flip a coin and be right more than the weather man.
The other 70% is extremely exaggerated.
Treat the Media like tabloids because that is exactly what they are today.
I like how you explain loud and clear...
Thank you. I found this video helpful. I will keep a heads up.
I tested positive for the virus early July. With me, I never had a fever but I did have a persistent dry cough, yet I took that as my allergies. Then there was a little bit more confusion and fatigue than normal but I took that as my 'fog' that comes in and the fatigues from my medications and having fibromyalgia. Then I had on and off chest pain, but during that time I also had cysts on my breasts that had become larger. Then I had to take a Covid test due to an upcoming surgery and that's when I found out I was positive. For the past few weeks I have been doing ok except for the chest pains. After I spoke to my doctor about it she told me to start taking advil to help with the inflammation. The day after I started taking it my chest pain subsided (like today!). However, now I don't know if I am still contagious or not and my kids have had to stay in other places while I've been in isolation. I could hardly find anything on answers to whether I was still contagious or not. I mean what if my recent test comes back positive again, does that still mean I am contagious after over 3 weeks of first test? It's definitely been frustrating trying to find solid information with what to do when you are infected. I am really grateful though that my cough and chest pains are gone, I was really getting scared. I tell you, for those who think this is a political scheme or hoax, you just wait till it hits you or your family members. Trust me, you will regret not wearing your mask and social distancing.
Weren’t your kids already infected before they accidentally found you positive? I’m honestly trying to just ask a question not be mean. And I can’t seem to find the right words . Were your kids tested? Were your children placed with extended family?
You went through a lot.
I work in healthcare. It is standard that if a person has been tested positive for Covid19, that person must be tested negative 2 times before they can be out of quarantine. The 2nd negative test must be at least a week apart from the 1st negative test.
You’re a brainwashed tool.
God bless you.. get well soon
All things short: we don’t know actually anything 🤷♂️
Exactly !! i was around my entire family and I’m the only one who got it. But I have no symptoms and I’m not complaining about that.
Its CurlyBeccc my friend got it with light pneumonia. But his girlfriend living with him have no symptoms at all. That's strange
The true skeptic. A man who doesn’t know anything.
i have only chest pain sometime. like 1nce or 2wice in a week . and some wet cough sometimes. is it covid19 m scared😭😭😭
When in doubt take the test.
Thank you for this resource!
Thanks to you all for the continuing and informative videos on this subject. I've found them useful for educating the more dubious deniers.
Aw, now the sources are only a difficult-to-navigate list of links again. I appreciate very much that you cite sources at all, but with naming titles, authors, and years, as well as maybe timestamps, I wouldn't have to click on each and every one of those links to find what I'm looking for. Grouping the links with some headings under one of your other recent videos seemed like a decent compromise
His hair is so luscious today.
Or well, on the 7th. :)
It's fun watching people manage their increasingly long hair these days! I was getting Elvis vibes from today's hairstyle, but that's probably just me :-)
@@OrigamiMarie Elvis vibes definitely mostly from where the hair is parted. Though I think his hair is a bit more on the fluffy volume side, compared to Elvis's slicked hair. But the shape is definitely there.
Long hair looks great on people ^^
Though too bad it's summer time lol
I’m really interested in the damage of asymptomatic infection and the long term effects of infection (symptomatic and asymptomatic).
When they've figured out the whole COVID thing, I need a whole Cells at Work movie about COVID19.
Hell yes
The high degree of asymptomatic cases is why testing and contact tracing are so important. Basically, if you test positive (even if you didn't have any symptoms) they work through the web of your connections/life to find all the people you've been in contact with and test them. The problem with that is 1. you need a ridiculous amount of testing capacity to be able to test so many people so often and 2. there are a lot of privacy concerns with contact tracing and you many people may not want the government tracking their lives so closely (especially in countries with let's so, fewer civil rights)
Great point from a great channel
At one point WHO said asymptomatic people can't transmit the virus. What do you think about that?
@@alexmackay7454 the day after the WHO said asymptomatic transfer was 'very rare' the released a new statement clarifying (basically many scientists did not like the wording/thought it was early to conclude that). Off hand I rememeber reading some literature that seemed to indicate asymptomatic transfer was more common than initially beleieved but I don't have it on hand and would have to look more into it. Contact tracing is obviously also very inportant for symptomatic cases as well
I love your new hair style, Michael. To me it feels like “that dude” everyone wants to hang out with cause he’s fun and chill, crossed with a business casual atmosphere, like everyone’s favorite lawyer or something.
Our boy definitely looks like he hasn't been to a barber in 3 months.

Those guys are so smart! This is why I subscribed to them.
Excellent explanation of complex material. 👍👍👍👍
One thing I get confused about watching this is what igG antibody counts look like in more “normal” diseases - id really appreciate that comparison to understand how everything works better
Thanku for describing pool testing in a broader nd easy way👍
Your voice is so calming.
Michael's hair length and cute fluffy face convinced me he is practicing quarantine laws effectively.,💛
So much for that one dude’s claim that 99% of Covid-19 cases are _totally_ harmless.
Only uninformed fools make such claims.
Toby he’s referring the the glorious president of the United States
@@dburris718 I'm guessing Toby knows.
That person is saying that the virus will harm up to 3,300,000 Americans. That’s pretty serious stuff and needs a serious national response.
@@serjiang so it would be 99 vs 1. Democracy/mob rule?
Thanks for this video
We need more T cell studies. Some have been released as pre-prints and results seem to be showing that T cell responses appear to be more enduring indicating a certain level of immunity. More that a 2nd infection would be milder rather than full sterilising immunity which is unlikely in the context of coronaviruses where duration of immunity appears to be correlating with severity of disease.
As a past employee/researcher at NIH, I know for a fact that MASSIVE white cell studies have been done, and are still being done, with reference this disease and many others like cancer. As a fact, they were studying monoclonal antibodies to see if they could fight Covid. Unfortunately, not everything is aired or published because studies of this nature are lengthy and subject to harsh guidelines and scrutiny. Consider all of the stuff that has bombarded us concerning this infection. Researchers are trying to be careful and optimistic without giving false hope unless the data is verified MULTIPLE times to verify consistent results.
@@user-lu2tb9nc3x From what I can gather monoclonal antibodies might not be much use for people sick enough to make to be in hospital. Antibody titres have been found to be higher in those with severe disease. Pessimistic view is a contributory factor to disease severity, more optimistic view is that this reflects more viral replication. From what I can gather many people have pretty much cleared the virus when disease is severe and it is an immune system 'dysfunction' causing widespread inflammation. I'm no expert, but from what I can gather is that monoclonal antibodies would be most beneficial in early stages of infection. They are very expensive with current technology to produce and have a short half life? They might be a useful treatment in cases where the elderly or vulnerable are diagnosed early in their infection.
There are alot of published papers and many of them, even by the well known institutes, seem to be rushed and of a lower quality than they would typically produce. Others are just plain poor quality.
I've seen more than one news report about South Korea's very vigorous tracing program picking up reinfections, but it's difficult to figure out the real story from double translated (Korean to English and Scientist to Layman) information. Have you guys checked that area out at all?
If they aren't showing symptoms, does that mean their body is taking more damage? I thought symptoms were often a form a defense against infection?
I swear, everything about this disease is completely upside down!
Most cancer are the same way. They grow and grow inside you until is to late and has spread over different organs. One day you running and living the best life. A month later you literally die.
Exploitation of any weakened system particularly the brain can manifest in compulsive brain farts which denote gapers exposing them selves to risks and tragic misadventure.
pessimistic ideas cause it’s man made it’s not even a virus it’s a disease
@@kyatri9496 Diseases like this (man-made or otherwise) are caused by (i.e.: the result of contracting) either a virus or a bacterium... the former cannot exist without the latter.
This needs more views...
You’re braver than you believe and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think - so follow guidelines and stay home to stay safe. take care of your friends and family.
god bless you guys😘
super early!! love your guys’ content, keep it up!!!
Suspect everyone at work has had it. Coughing..etc. just wasn’t enough to visit a doctor.
And suspect a young person at work have they been at protests and did they bring back the disease with them?
Girl at my job has had a cough since Wednesday and it's freaking me out. I keep my mask on and stay away from her as much as possible. I know the cough doesn't automatically mean covid but I'm still panicking and counting down those 14 days. 😓😷
WOW, the math part is very interesting. It would be great to have a video just about that.
Thank god ! This was so informational. I learned something new. Laughed when mathematics was mentioned. Simply right direction. Thank yu
Antibody levels are not a good indicator of immunity. They drop off after infection, as was explained here, but long-term immunity is usually realised by memory T and B cells. These are what stay behind. When they encounter the pathogen they were produced for, they trigger an immune response, which then produces antibodies in B cells. Antibodies alone just floating about in the body basically make immunity random, because they may or may not be at the location they need to be at the time of infection.
3:00 summary
The video talks about it at 3:00
Ana María Lugo Gama tf you mean hmmm? Bruh look up the Kurzgesagt video on the immune system or do your own research.
It's best to avoid getting someone else's snot on you, even if it's not infectious.
Yes, common sense!
Yes! Especially because too many people haven't learned how to properly cover their face when they cough and sneeze.
To be honest, Im shocked that Republicans in America dont have massive snot guzzling parties. They refuse to mask up, wont social d, grow violent if you mention covid vaccines.
They have become a death cult.
@@nosuchthing8 masks don't work. You need a full face mask covering your eyes to protect yourself. And the cloth masks catch snot and blow it through the fabric as fine particles on your next cough or sneeze. But, enjoy your mandatory placebo , mandated by the government. For a disease that kills 2% of people who catch it, including 90 year old smokers in the nursing home. A lot less than that if you're young and healthy.
@@sneeringimperialist6667 false of course.
First, if you think the masks dont cut down on transmission, prove it. That's just an assumption on your part. Does real world data back you up?
As to real world data, here is just a taste
Use of Cloth Masks to Control the Spread of SARS-CoV-2
A study of an outbreak aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, an environment notable for congregate living quarters and close working environments, found that use of face coverings on-board was associated with a 70% reduced risk.39

Hey Michael, you're looking good. Keep it awesome buddy.
Thank you
Thats a kinda scary thought! You feel totally fine but your lungs are getting beaten up by this virus 😱
Lungs can repair themselves
flim148 yep it can take 6 or more months for recovery
Covid-19 hasn’t been around a whole year.
I can’t imagine what the long term effects will be.
Er, millions of bankruptsies and trillions of $ in real property taken by the banks (with a little help from your friendly, armed government).
John Sergei money is replaceable people are not who cares about money being lost what’s the long term effects on humans .
I had sepsis from an under-treated infection and drove myself across town to the hospital, the nurse was amazed that I was up walking around when she took my vitals. Just saying, the body is trying to survive for the moment.
There is one thing very few clear the difference: there is the possibility of the asymptomatic spreading, but it is a different thing from the one who does not have symptons yet, it is two different situations, as for the latter it seems the spread of covid starts 2 to 3 days prior to developing symptons (unless I am not updated on this matter)
yeah presymptomatic and asymptomatic are totally different!
No you’re right. An infected COVID19 patients can spread the virus at any time during their sickness, but they’re the most contagious apx 2-3 days before symptoms present.
www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/this-is-when-coronavirus-is-most-contagious/ar-BB14WmNi
yes that’s called presymptomatic
I was tested positive on 5th july as a routine test in my country (india) since im a doctor , result came back as positive although i had no symptoms. I stayed at hospital for 10 days, came back home and isolated myself for 7 days as we are advised.
Some insight : i m national football player and have a healthy pulmonary system.
I have a gym in my penthouse and when i started doing my workout after coming home, i was breathing hard and there was pressure in my thoracic region in like my first set which by the way is very abnormal for me.
This explains it. Even if you dont have any symptoms, the virus does some long term damage to your lungs.
I hope the lungs can be healthy again. This could be very very bad for kids getting it.
Wow thank you for sharing, get well soon.
Is it possible to get lungs back to health?
@@asushomie4387 yes, over time the lungs get back to the same health as pre covid state but it takes time and it can take from 3 months to years depending on the severity of symptoms you had in covid. Deep breath exercises, avoiding smoking, pollution and allergies will help to sped up the healing process.
Thank you for your reply I was worried during this pandemic started taking 1000mg vitamin C, 60k calcigen D3 along with zincovit syrup
whoooa... lovin the quarantine hair, Michael
helpful , thanks
I was diagnosed positive June 25th started feeling sick June 20th that’s why I tested, came back positive it felt worse than a flu, body aches all over, nausea, vomiting. No taste no smell, no fever but I still remember feeling very ill, couldn’t even walk a little before I was tired.. 14 days past still felt ill , 3 weeks past still had cough... thing is public health doesn’t tell you to retest says to quarantine 14 days and after 3 day’s no symptoms without meds your good, but it’s wrong they should make positive people retest until they can go out.. it takes longer than 14 days.
I agree
I went through the same thing
Yes sir it do
The 1918 pandemic affected young people. They figured out years later the older folks had been exposed to the virus sometime in their lifetime and had the antibodies to fight it. Memory I guess like you said.
Yeah there’s other types of antibodies not just igg there’s info on killer T cell memory that may be more impactful
in cyprus they will start using pooled testings in airports so we can test more arrivals with lest cost.
Thank you for the information. Btw your hair grows fast lol
That’s exactly why when you put on a pulse ox, and these folks Sats are in the low 80s and they feel fine....
You want a good laugh? Just imagine all the people who can’t understand this who still think it’s pointless to wear a mask and try to point out “scientific” facts to support their point.

@@jusme2038 this right of blah blah blah has destroyed everything
I wore a mask and still got covid-19. Masks are not the best protection. Those who don't wear masks spread it to you through your eyes. So many entry routes and I had been extremely careful but still got infected. Point being masks aren't guaranteed at all to stop infection.
What I've found about their thinking is that "if it's not 100%, it's useless and therefore do not work". I can't imagine their thoughts on condoms...
i find it more disturbing than funny.
Favorite channel!
" in your snot " 😁😁
Good informative clip as usual 👍👍
my question would be... has any asymptomatic patient died from covid19? If no, how come? And why is their immune system not as responsive as other patients? Perhaps... if we figured out what defuses the reaction on asymptomatic patients, we could try and give others a medication that causes a similar effect?!
Okay, it seems that the absence of symptoms doesn't correlate to an absence of harm... asymptomatic patients could have damaged organs but they're unaware of it...
in short, this sucks!
Studies are ongoing regarding all of the questions you just posed. Unfortunately, it's going to take some time to really get good data.
Death is widely regarded as a symptom.
I am pretty sure "death" is a symptom. Therefore the question is a contradiction in itself.
Actually it might be breaking the "departure from normal function or feeling which is apparent to a patient" requirement. I mean, I guess if you go to bed and "never wake up", you propably did not have any symptoms. At the very least, it counts for a "clinica sign".
Considering a lot of deaths for Covid-19 comes from your immune system drowning you or killing other important organs, it is hard to miss that. Again, unless you loose consciousness before you have time to become aware.
@@OurCognitiveSurplus The one definition I could find, insists that sympton is something the patient has noticed. And I do not think anyone ever noticed when he was dead. As a general rule, if you can still notice things you are not dead yet :)
Being dead definitely has some medical sign. But I think it counts as a Diagnosis^^
Good questions, but as stated in the video : we still dont know much and science is trying to catch up. If you havent watched all of scishow videos on this you should look them up... in chronological order xD
Damn, Michael's Covid hair is cute
I was trying to figure what was diffrent about him. HAIR! Thanks
It seems to be growing into a pompadour, I like it too.

I hope that you put the link of the studies in the description next videos
I don't know why but this guy's voice is really soothing
Me after finding out I might be asymptomatic: 👁👄👁
Asymptomatic can be applied to any virus or disease.
Thank you😷
This is scary stuff man
3:32 "Pooled testing"
But wouldn't the chlorine from the pool interfere with the test?
Hey, welcome back
I can’t tell if this is a joke or not and I don’t want to get r/wooshed
How about you find another hobby?
Elorabora It’s a joke, as are most, if not all, of Master Therion’s comments on sci show videos.
You need to come back and post puns on every video when they come out. I miss that :'(
I’ve been wondering about this! If symptoms are an extreme immune response then what happens if our immune system isn’t responding?
Not all symptoms are because of the immune response. If the immune system does not respond the virus spreads into the body and causes mass organ failure, because too many cells produce viruses instead of doing their actual job.
Asymptomatic does not necessarly mean your immune system does not respond, it can mean that the immune response is less general and more specific. It is possible, that some people have a immune memory to a virus that is close enough to this one to allow such a respons.
@@hannajung7512 Thank you for the info!
@@pessimisticideas3075 take it with a grain of salt, I am a nurse, not a doctor of immunology or virology. But this is my best understanding of the virus.
@@hannajung7512 Do you happen to have on hand any sources that we could dig into to understand what you're saying better? Tbh it's not easy finding specific information like this as somebody with no medical training or experience.
MrEkShun what they are proposing is unproven, but if you want to look at the bodies immune response and extrapolate, start with looking at the innate vs specific immune responses to get an idea of the general principles the body has to fight infections
As a scientist, I have to say this was an excellent watch. You are well spoken
The problem with pooled tests is that they trade the number of samples for time. To obtain the pooled results, resample and then to get results from the second sample may take up to a week or more.
There is such a thing as T-cell immunity, most of us have been infected by some type of the common cold virus. The theory from Sweden is that most persons immune system can cope with the Corona virus but a lot of people are not able to. This explains a lot but naturally more evidence is required.
So sick of people saying this is all a hoax, or political manipulation.... God help us!!!
Blackrock liked your comment.
Would you accept lockdown if there wasn't covid19?
a person would you accept a nuclear bomb up the ass if there wasn’t a world war III?
@Arkady I see lockdown as shops and businesses being force to close because of the apparent threat of the coronavirus.
I think the lockdown is there so that people are more likely to want to get a vaccine against covid once it comes out( this may become mandatory) there may be a microchip inside the vaccine which, once it is in the body can hack into your brain and make you a slave to the elite.
It is worth thinking about.
Here are some fairly relevant videos:
Dr Coleman is worth listening to m.ruclips.net/video/0p0qXvgsc4g/видео.html&feature=share
Microchip injections m.ruclips.net/video/hxTm9OJA0Pw/видео.html&feature=share
In a sense money doesn't matter because isn't really there. The banks can always change the value of money. What the elite care about is world domination and a One World Government.
Comes down to trust. And motives. Some believe the gov is trying to kill off the elderly. Whilst others believe it's a way for the gov to get more control.
I would really like to know more about the link between covid infection and posterior anemia/low hemoglobyn count. Is the virus causing hemolytic anemia in some people and at what ratio? Will this anemia be gone with time or will it stay?
Army tested me and my antibody levels were barley detectable so this video kinda sheds some light on why that was
So... I had covid-19 in March, but i still have symptoms, like today I'm short of breath but yesterday i was great!
I talked to a doctor about it and he just shrugged and gave me an Albuterol inhaler... but im concerned about being possibly contagious even though im no longer positive..
Its weirdness 😯
same here. i had it and tested negative but still feel symtoms. i've been pressured by my housemates to get re-tested but my doctor said not to. i feel like i now have ptsd because i fear infecting my housemates or any one for that matter when i go to the groceries. i don't know what to do or think anymore
Big Boomer ~ Have you or your doctor checked your O2 saturation levels?
I felt the same way for the last month. I noticed when I felt short of breath or was having a difficult time mentally, my O2 level was at 93. Then some days I felt good and my O2 level was up to 95. The levels would go up shortly but then drop again for several days. My guess is that some light cardio is needed with some medicated nubilizations in the evenings or as directed by the meds.
Therefore, boost the CHLORINE DIOXIDE (ClO2), formulated free of charge by biophysicist Andreas Kalcker. that kills ALL viruses, including coronavirus 19, plus the one that tries to bring us the new world order, which they have called virus X, and they have it scheduled for the month of November. Chlorine dioxide also kills the cancer fungus. Be careful not to confuse it with the chlorox which is NaClO.
Pure weirdness I had almost all of the symptoms feeling absolutely horrible test results came back negative 🤔
Hi *_Big Boomer_* I came down with something on Christmas morning that kept me in bed for 4-5 days. I don't know if it was CoViD-19, but I have been breathless on occasions since then... something akin to early onset of emphysema.
Whatever it was that laid me low however, I doubt very much that the lingering aftereffects are indicative of me still being contagious.
*_R_* 😀
Lungs: Help I have worsening pneumonia
Organs: Help we're getting less oxygen
Brain: Everything is fine
Its not the brains fault most of the owners are Ralph wigguming it through this whole thing
I wonder how people with an asymptomatic infection would do given some sort of cardio stress test? I guess the problem would be that most wouldn't have a baseline for comparison purposes. Personally, I'm an endurance athlete (cyclist) that is constantly reviewing my cardio performance on an app called Strava and feel it unlikely that I could become infected and still perform at a high level--but don't really know for sure.
It’s been 8 days since I tested positive. I’m starting to feel a little bit normal again although I can tell I have lost lung capacity (hard to even do a lap around the neighborhood - O2 sat 96) and still can’t smell or taste. I’m most concerned about the unknown long term effects. I’m also pregnant and so scared for my baby to have long term effects as well.
God is with u, don't worry
Praying for your healthy pregnancy and baby 🙏❤️
As a distance runner, there would be no such thing as 'not knowing' you had this sht
I was thinking the exact same thing.
I kept wondering too I'm like I jog all week I would notice if my lungs aren't working at 100% because you simply wouldn't be able to perform your normal pace otherwise.
To be fair though the majority of the world is overweight, obese or can't run for farther than 200m (yikes...)
They just want people not to know, period. I'm a cyclist and a singer, both require a lot from you lungs. Id know if anything was slightly wrong. Enjoy you running.
I don't ride in traffic cause just walking through that toxic soup is bad enough.
What about in people who get shortness of breath, anyway because of their age, and/or some other pre-existing condition? How can you know if you have it w/o getting tested? I am asking for a family member who is elderly, and isn’t showing any “signs” and doesn’t really buy the whole “asymptomatic” thing. She’s frustrated because we won’t let her out in public for her safety, but she sees it as discriminatory.
@@DarianHarder I'm not a doctor, but I think you would definately require a test to know for sure. As an athlete that pushes lung/heart capacity to the max, I think one would definately know something was wrong but otherwise I think you need a test
I was asymptomatic as well, everyone in the household had symptoms except for me. I knew i was Covid +ve only after i was tested or else i wouldn't have known. I feel alright except for the fatigue from time to time.
I just tested positive but don’t have a single symptom were you symptom free the entire time?
We've been using pooled testing in Ghana for a while now. Doesn't work well with high infection rates though.
It would probably take more paperwork/attention, but I'd think a very effective way of pooling tests would be into exposure groups. Pool all the tests in a household, for example. You could say then that if the pool is positive you don't even have to test individually because everyone's been exposed to each other, just assume that everyone has it/will have it. OR even if you do test each one (maybe the pool is people who were exposed to a spreader but not to each other, like everyone seen by a spit-talking plumber), you've kept a lot of likely-positives out of the wider pool and reduced the number of other pools you have to retest.
We are screwed was the message I got from this video.
I've been saying for what feels like ages the there need to be a study on whether truly asymptomatic cases can spread the virus.
Just over a month ago, South Korea did a sample of 200 odd asymptomatic cases and tested 700 odd people that they'd been in close prolonged contact with. Not one showed a positive test for the virus.
Asia is doing such a better job with this, they don't have Republicans.
