Supposedly there is a woman in our village that is in the hospital with it but she's morbidly obese. Her neighbor (they live in oen of those houses that is like two houses in one) had symptoms but we have those german antibody tests, gave her one and it came back negative. Haven't heard of anyone else. Wife is an ortodontist so we have alot of hospital/medical friends.
What I've heard so far from them is that the PCR tests are about 70% accurate. People are getting the swabs done and having positive, then negative, then positive, then negative results. Also heard from a doctor that works at hospital here that they are now avoiding putting people on respirators because the death rate for respirators was like 95%. Almost everyone that has died was 70-100 years old.
There's about 14k active cases in Poland right now. I don't really know what to think of it to be honest. The masks probably don't do shit and I doubt that Polish people have such substantially better hygiene/hand washing then Americans. Probably some combination of genetics, alcohol consumption and the mandatory tuberculosis vaccinations everyone since 1955 has had.
