Re: Is Aeon Mall 1 closed due to virus fears?
In dengue-endemic regions such as in Asia, misdiagnosis between COVID-19 and dengue can be highly problematic and could affect management of these diseases. This is mainly because approximately 80% of COVID-19 cases are mild to moderate cases with unspecific symptoms and mimic dengue (Henrina et al., 2020).johnnywalker3 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 8:08 pm The correlation between Dengue and Covid is very interesting to me. An unusual spike in Dengue cases and deaths in both China and Cambodia in 2019 leads me to believe there was a widespread misdiagnosis regionally.

I have no idea if there is something to this but it seems unlikely to me that the abnormal spike in Dengue cases in both China and Cambodia happened just as Covid-19 broke out. Add to that an 80% decline in Dengue (and Malaria cases) in 2020 and I suspect a LOT of cases were misdiagnosed (not surprisingly given the lack of knowledge) in 2019. A lot of things that don't make any sense make a lot more sense if you retroactively consider that a ton of Dengue cases in 2019 were likely Covid-19.
Apparently Dengue fever and Covid-19 react to the testing very similarly so it should not be a great surprise if the reverse is true (Covid-19 tests positive for Dengue). I haven't found anything to support that theory but I'm not sure anyone is looking.

From the above link:
Apart from fever, which is the chief complaint of most cases of dengue and COVID-19, skin manifestations including rash or petechiae, which are commonly found in dengue, have also been commonly reported in COVID-19 (Criado et al., 2020), and thus, the challenge of discriminating one from another is increased.

Find out the symptoms of dengue and the symptoms of CoViD-19 and compare those and you'll see misdiagnosis is extremely unlikely.johnnywalker3 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 8:08 pm The correlation between Dengue and Covid is very interesting to me.

Re: Is Aeon Mall 1 closed due to virus fears?
The pattern of the fever is very different in both diseases, a high drop in platelets which is seen in dengue and is not reported in CoViD (in fact it's the opposite, platelet count often goes up with CoViD-19 causing blood cloths: https://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/512007).CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 9:12 pmIn dengue-endemic regions such as in Asia, misdiagnosis between COVID-19 and dengue can be highly problematic and could affect management of these diseases.

A simple blood test will discriminate between the two if the fever pattern doesn't.

Re: Is Aeon Mall 1 closed due to virus fears?
I keep hearing the "We would notice the excess funerals" argument here in Vietnam too. Keep in mind the death rate globally for Covid is at 200 per million population. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/timmydownawell wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 3:28 pm I agree Andy. If it had been in the community here, even undiagnosed, we would definitely have seen an increase in funerals at the very least, because they are so very visible (not to mention audible). People are out and about in very close contact in the markets and go home to their children and elderly parents. If it was around we would know pretty quickly.
Cambodia has a population of say 15 million, times 200 would be 3000 extra funerals over - 9 months? 300 odd funerals a month - 10 a day - over the whole country. Actual death rate = approx 6 per 1000, say 90k a year = 7500 a month. That's 250/day normally and then an extra 10 for Covid - noticeable? I don't think so.

Nice maths and if you consider many die from covid are 65plus ,it would be even less here.dullretard wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 8:42 amI keep hearing the "We would notice the excess funerals" argument here in Vietnam too.

Re: Is Aeon Mall 1 closed due to virus fears?
I sent the missus down to get a test just in case. Place was packed with Khmer waiting to get the test. She was sent away and told to come back just before her flight.Jerry Atrick wrote:Hopefully they don't test too many people.
Re: Is Aeon Mall 1 closed due to virus fears?
Something wrong with your calculations I think. The covid death rate is about 2%. That’s 20,000 per million. Not 200! Confirmed by the link you posted.dullretard wrote:I keep hearing the "We would notice the excess funerals" argument here in Vietnam too.

So on 16.7 million population here that’s up to 334,000 extra funerals! That certainly would be noticeable.

Re: Is Aeon Mall 1 closed due to virus fears?
That's assuming every single person is infected... Or course not everyone would be, and the vast majority of deaths are for elderly people who have pre-existing conditions, of which there are relatively few here.jah steu wrote:Something wrong with your calculations I think.
