Scotland Under 21’s - 3 Positive COVID Cases

[RaoulDuke11]

I hope Griffiths gets bad aids, is that wrong?

No. I would think less of you if you didn't want a convicted racist, thief and addict out of our game.

[Madjid Moments]

Probably the last one was a false positive or vice versa. Hell given the accuracy of the tests they were probably both false positives

No. Both positive. Front line worker.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Wishing covid someone is scumbag behaviour. End of story.

Who has wished this disease on anyone?

The punter on here, says that he hopes the unnamed player (get the unnamed bit?) is Ferguson, as he thinks he is dolly's best player. He didn't wish the disease on him.

That's where I part company with him. He's a dud.

 

[The Dude]

Or it means the tests are garbage and throw false positives regularly.

How'd did they end up with symptoms both times?

 

[cambridgeblue]

One was flu with a false positive.

 

[The Dude]

One was flu with a false positive.

So they tested positive twice, eight months apart, but it wasn't really a positive and the Covid symptoms weren't really covid but just the flu?
Should give you a gig in the Sage committee

He's pretty much our version of ill Phill.

My ex and one of my kids have the flu right now. They thought it was covid but the test returned a negative.

Why would flu come back as positive like you say, if it's not the same thing?

Having flu or not doesn’t impact a false positive.

PCR testing is highly dependent on the lab and operator skill for accuracy.

'Dead cells' can be present in the body of someone who has been infected for some time after they are no longer infectious. They can produce a positive result.

What kind of crank signs themselves off with a fake name and award they haven't got.

 

[The Dude]

'Dead cells' can be present in the body of someone who has been infected for some time after they are no longer infectious. They can produce a positive result.

They reckon that's around six months max. March to November is 8 months.

 

[temperance]

I know a few people who have tested positive twice. Getting it once doesn't mean you can't get it again

It’s unlikely, but possible.

 

[Draper1872]

Get a grip pal. What sort of person would will someone to be unwell to grant us an advantage in a match. Shocking.

Someone who wants to win at all costs.

 

[temperance]

Hopefully it's Ferguson

Get a grip man

 

[Ted Rangers]

Who are They? Many scientists seem to have varying views on this.

 

[bilkobear]

The people who have caught coronavirus twice - including one who had a more serious case the second time - Wales Online

I think my curiosity to the initial post was to the suggestion that this was perhaps more widespread than it really is.
The truth would appear to be that it is actually very rare, rather like a lottery win or being struck by lightning,

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

What's the big secret re what Aberdeen player it is?

 

[Buffel87]

Having flu or not doesn’t impact a false positive.

PCR testing is highly dependent on the lab and operator skill for accuracy.

No it's not. It's pretty straightforward and only requires basic lab skills. Plus, NHS testing labs are basically all automated with sample prep machines.

 

[Coopers left foot.]

Club bubble doesn’t exist I have said before I know of two spl players who drop their kids off at school in the morning. They don’t just go to training then sit in the house

Drop off! Devils in the detail.

 

[cousin1985]

If it was McCrorie the club would already know ? As he’s still our player

 

[Tagsbear]

What's so difficult to believe in catching a Coronavirus twice? Antibodies to illnesses fade over time, after catching Norovirus you are immune for up to 6 months generally, for example.

 

[Gary]

Right, so nothing to do with the Flu then. That's what I was saying.

 

[The Dude]

The World Health Organisation.

Eh, where do you hear that? It's an easy process which is mostly automated, is it not?

They take test and put it in a machine, machine says results.

 

[Jingle64]

Why anyone would wish this horrible disease upon anyone is beyond me!

I agree. They might be fit healthy young sportsmen but could pass on to more vulnerable members of society.

 

[Ted Rangers]

The World Health Organisation.

I can't find the study.

I read that the tests, at best, give a 1% false positive result though. As a previous poster said, that is the most likely reason for 2 or more positive tests. Of the 1200 positives recorded in scotland yesterday, about 240 will be expected to be inaccurate.

 

[cooprfc]

People can get chicken pox twice. Most people don't. This is probably the same with a comparatively small amount of people susceptible to it again.

If reinfection was widespread, you'd be hearing a lot more about it given there are millions of people worldwide who have had it and a lot are now also 8 months recovered which takes you out the time they think you are immune.

 

[klos]

My mum caught it twice: once in May and the other in October.

Three players now?. I assume Middleton, Kinnear & Patterson are members of that group that will have to self isolate.

 

[chucknorris]

Why don't they just name them ffs? Unless they cite patient confidentiality I suppose

 

[Whitecarlos]

Yeah, all seems very secretive.

Matbe leaving it to the clubs to confirm.

Thats a lot, 11 players impacted. It has to be 2 main players for Sheep or they would be announcing it.

With their details explanation of close contacts I bet there are beggar players involved.

I’m sure if it is we know.

 

[Macky]

Cant just name them unless the players are happy to. They would effectively be revealing someones personal medical details.

 

[Fergie1872]

'Dead cells' can be present in the body of someone who has been infected for some time after they are no longer infectious. They can produce a positive result.

Which is pretty much the reason the high number of test ‘positives’ arent translating into high hospital admissions, ICU admissions and high excess deaths which is the true measure of a pandemic. The lateral flow test is apparently much more accurate.

 

[Birkenshaw Bear]

Hopefully it's Ferguson

Don’t know why you’re getting abuse for this.

Ferguson is Aberdeen’s best player, so it would be a nice boost if he was out.

I couldn’t really care for any other teams players well-being apart from Rangers players.

Don’t listen to the weirdos saying you’re a disgrace.

 

[chucknorris]

Fair dos

 

[Fergie1872]

No there have been many reports of poor procedures at labs, contamination etc.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

It could happen to us. I certainly won't be laughing or mocking any club.

Thus far we've kept it under wraps. Let's hope that continues as a bout of coronavirus through our squad could hurt us on the park - that and potential long term health effects.

 

[Gramps1]

Fucksake
Patterson had a good chance of getting a game next week.

Why would you assume that?

What’s the repercussions of this as Middleton and Patterson were training with the entire 1st team squad yesterday.

 

[Faure there’s not a team]

What's so difficult to believe in catching a Coronavirus twice? Antibodies to illnesses fade over time, after catching Norovirus you are immune for up to 6 months generally, for example.

Our Prime Minister is in isolation again. Folk need their head examined over covid awareness.

 

[Madjid Moments]

I’d hope that Rangers are quick to act if any of our players have been identified. Nip it now.

 

[Madjid Moments]

What’s the repercussions of this as Middleton and Patterson were training with the entire 1st team squad yesterday.

I think it would depend on what they were doing and close contacts.

 

[insanicdrunk]

What’s the repercussions of this as Middleton and Patterson were training with the entire 1st team squad yesterday.

If they are contacts I'm sure it would be ok. If they have it, it would be any of their close contacts that would need to isolate. I take it that being on the pitch and outside is not a close contact.
