Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg says it is “extremely likely” that she and her father contracted the coronavirus, the New York Times reported Tuesday.
Thunberg and her father, Svante, stayed in a separate apartment away from her sister and mother, who are located in Stockholm, in an effort to not infect them if the two carried the highly contagious virus, the New York Times reported. She said she felt “tired, had shivers, a sore throat and coughed,” while her father’s symptoms were far worse, she explained in her Instagram post.
She explains that she has “basically recovered” and urges everyone to stay at home. “Many (especially young people) might not notice any symptoms at all, or very mild symptoms,” the post said. “We who don’t belong to a risk group have an enormous responsibility, our actions can be the difference between life and death for many others… Please keep in mind, follow the advice from experts and your local authorities and #StayAtHome to slow the spread of the virus.”
Addendum, noticed this related tidbit below on the twit.~cr
Yea, Bob, like read later after she is tested for presence of the antibody that proves she had it, or not. Video at 11:00 (unless the world burns due to climate change).
COVID-19 is like a Red Badge of Courage for people like her. You gain more virtue points.
“The Red Badge of Courage is a war novel by American author Stephen Crane. Taking place during the American Civil War, the story is about a young private of the Union Army, Henry Fleming, who flees from the field of battle. Overcome with shame, he longs for a wound, a “red badge of courage,” to counteract his cowardice. When his regiment once again faces the enemy, Henry acts as standard-bearer, who carries a flag.
The author of Red Badge of Courage (published 1894), Stephen Crane poignantly wrote in a letter to a friend, “”You can tell nothing… unless you are in that condition yourself…” .
We see Greta and her handlers understand that we are living though this COVID-19 epidemic point in history and they do not want have “this condition” pass them by and miss and opportunity get another Scout badge on their label to wear for everyone to see, a “badge of Courage” to talk about as if gaining some wisdom by it.
Exactly, that’s why so many Hollywood celebs are claiming to be Caronavirus positive. Its trendy and keeps their Instagram followers generating revenue for them.
Caronavirus is the 2nd most common cold virus, next to Rhinovirus. Testing positive for Caronavirus is about as unusual as seeing clouds on a rainy day.
“I’m Caronavirus positive” – “NO – I’m Caronavirus positive”, “I’m Caronavirus positive”……ad infinitum. The whole of Hollywood will be declaring itself Caronavirus positive by the end of the month
8,000 of those who have been tested. Quite possibly 80,000 or more actually have it.
Iceland did some random testing and found about 1% of the couple of thousand people they tested had it, at a time when the official figures were more like 0.1% of the population. And that’s only people with active infections; they were testing for the virus, not antibodies.
So we still have little idea of how many people have had it and how many people catch it and have minor symptoms.
What they should be doing every year for the flu season is to be careful of the infirm elderly and those with compromised immune systems. Why are they panicking over about 20,000 dead worldwide while the “flu” salad of viruses takes averages 650,000 worldwide every year. This is ridiculous. They are panicking over the croutons on the salad. Without the unproven tests they are using so freely only where available, the effects of this virus would not even be a blip in the flu season statistics. It is the presence of such viruses as this each year that probably determine which years will be bad years or not. The flu vaccines only target one class of “flu” viruses
They are worrying about a burning match while the house burns down.
Multiply that number by at least 10. I know of at least three acquaintances who have all symptoms but since all are below 50 yr old, none have been tested and are in strict self isolation, and told to phone 111 again in 7 days time ?!
How many of those who had tested positive gave rise to actual mild,moderate or severe illkendoness, necessitating hospitalisation .I have read that the test scan give false positive results
Changing the category changes the rules it will be treated under. As a HCID it is treated in specialised centres. After re-classification it is treated anywhere. It doesn’t matter otherwise because corona is subject to special rules anyway.

This kid is a living character, sprung to life right out of South Park. Even Cartman would have a tough time keeping up with Greta. ….
Dr Hugh Montgomery from University College London said virus ‘very infectious’.
One person could infect 59,000 others with COVID-19 compared to 14 with flu.
Greta would be well advised to keep quiet about how many people she & her father could have infected during their railway jaunt around Europe & journey back to Sweden. How fortunate to have access to a borrowed apartment! Like all totalitarianists, one rule for the hypocritical elites & one for the despicables.
It was, just Google Dr. Hugh Montgomery. 59,000 is just 3 raised to the tenth. He’s using 10 iterations of people passing on an infection. 1.4^10 = 14. So he’s comparing R0 = 1.4 for flu to R0 = 3 Covid-19. He could have used 4 and gotten to one person infecting 1,000,000. The choice of 10 iterations is also entirely arbitrary. Of course it’s mathematical non-sense as the first person only infects 1.4 people (don’t know how you infect 40% of a person) or 3 people. By Montgomery’s logic after 20 iterations, one person could infect 3.5 billion.
Rick
That is why a logistic curve should be used instead of an exponential. As the available potential people to infect declines, from dying or the development of antibodies, the ability of an infected individual to infect others declines. That is, the effective R0 declines as more and more people become infected. Most of the panic seems to be based on a worst-case scenario that is unlikely — like an RCP 8.5!
Whenever someone says “could” you should always — ALWAYS — interpret that as “will not”.
‘If you elect this guy, you could lose your health insurance.’ (And when it does not happen, ‘I never said it would happen, I only said it could.’)
‘One person could infect 59,000 others.’ (And when it does not happen, ‘I never said it would happen, I only said it could.’)
‘Sea levels could rise by 3 meters by 2100.’ (And when it does not happen, ‘I never said it would happen, I only said it could.’)
Could. The great weasel word. With it you can imply something while not actually claim something. A whole lot of things could happen, but common sense tells us it almost certainly will not happen.
Sea Level COULD rise by UP TO 3 meters by 2100
It doesn’t have to rise by 3 meters to be found technically correct it only has to rise an additional amount by 2100
Celebrity types are nearly all infected according to their media releases, especially common among those whose agents are trying to keep names in the news.
I’m sure you know as well as everyone here, that if Hell froze over and Biden did win the election, he’d be immediately retired and Hillary would be president.
Realize that Biden will be choosing a female VP candidate.
That person will be the President when Biden can no longer hold office, which looks like pretty soon now.
So of course all the libs will vote for that eventuality.
I’m truly hoping for Joe Biden/Hank Johnson D ticket… I think the amusement provided would be well worth the wait!

There’s lots of other things going around that can cause the same symptoms. One of my daughter’s coworkers had similar symptoms, and the doctor diagnosed her with strep throat. And back in January, my daughter was very sick with a high fever and puking for about 3 days — and she gave it to me (bless her heart). I think we had the norovirus (which had been going around Colorado), Fortunately for me, my bout only lasted one day.

Prince Charles has Covid 19. Duke of Edinburgh said when he died he wanted to come back as a virus to wipe out humanity. Attenborough said “humans are a plague for planet”. Maybe now Duke will recant his human hating obsession as Charles progresses from a human virus potentially deadly to everything to a human with a possibly death threatening virus which hopefully might make him more appreciative of those his father likes to hate. The people who pay tax to support his luxury lifestyle. He like Attenborough whinge 24/7 about population but have enjoyed the benefits of growth driven economies to fund their extravagant world wide travel which they refer to as obligations which they choose to decline when they know full well that they could if they really believed their own doom laden rhetoric.
She does not apply the Precautionary Principle consistently. There is no absolute guarantee that she won’t be dangerous after just 14 days. She should #StayAtHome indefinitely.

clearly she should change her message a bit..
avoid contacts , wash hands…quite simple..
so her message should be i didn’t follow the advices , frankly speaking it is difficult..and i pay the price.

What’s this “likely” business? If she’s been tested then say so. Otherwise it’s more “Fake News” from an attention seeker.
She says she hasn’t been tested, hence the “likely”. Like a hypochondriac, she’s assumes she has it based on symptoms that could apply to any number of aliments (allergies, common colds, the flu, etc) other than the Wuhan virus.
Why are you all so frightened of this young person? she seems to have somehow tipped the balance of whatever sanity you (generic) had. Attack! attack Attack!.
Why not wipe out her message with real scientific facts?
Well I believe her message was … We are all evil and stealing her childhood?
Pretty sure any number told her to grow up and stop being a brat. If she wanted to hold her breath and go blue and throw a tantrum it’s okay you will grow out of it.
There are no scientific facts showing that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere going from pre-industrial 280ppm to current 410ppm have had any measurable effects on any global climate parameter.
That’s why her message and yours are wiped out among real scientists.
Because she’s not encumbered by facts and she’s being used to forward an extremely destructive movement, and that has to be addressed, no matter how uncomfortable and high-minded you view yourself, about attacking human shields.
Even notice how many progressive ideological ideas are currently being pushed by children?

Rather disingenuous Dr. since the first post already says ” I may have had ….” . English may not be your first language , so I’ll explain. It’s called the present perfect tense . It describes something which is presently terminated.
eg. I have had my lunch I am now starting work again.
It does not mean I am going to lunch or I’m just starting the entree.
Apart from that I’m sure she’s making it all up like she makes up the ongoing mass extinction of life on Earth … which we have not yet found a single example of .
“Stay at home” seems to be her solution for everything.

Be fair! I know she can be irritating, but she is doing the right thing.
I hope she really has recovered, and her dad pulls through. She might be a public figure who promotes an absurd position which I lose no sleep challenging, but she’s also a scared kid whose dad is desperately sick, let’s not lose sight of that.
Greta, get some medical attention. Every person I’ve seen to date who goes on youtube or whatever after diagnosis says they feel fine. This virus is nasty, a lot of people who think they are doing OK are actually in a lot of trouble.
This model is already wrong. The virus has up to 14 days incubation period where you are infectious during that time. So if you do the 100% compliance route the chart will continue to rise for another 14 days minimum.
Refer to the Italian Experience for a clear demonstration of this. They went into quarantine with only 1,500 cases, now they have 74,000 cases and it’s only just starting to level off.
This ought to be a fun thread to come back and read later.

How long before Greta starts performing miracles?
It sounds like she just had the seasonal flu, or the common cold. But there’s no screen time in that, so of course she has to cry WuFlu !

Six days ago, written probably ten days ago and overtaken by events.
The virus is out of control in the UK with the great unwashed doing their darndest to spread it far and wide.
8000 people in the UK have it. About the number of 4 small villages.
8,000 of those who have been tested. Quite possibly 80,000 or more actually have it.
Iceland did some random testing and found about 1% of the couple of thousand people they tested had it, at a time when the official figures were more like 0.1% of the population. And that’s only people with active infections; they were testing for the virus, not antibodies.
So we still have little idea of how many people have had it and how many people catch it and have minor symptoms.
possibly –
at least they have had the sense to downgrade it to the level of a bad flu.
We’ll see how they respond as it has now been reported that Charles has tested positive
More than90,000 people were testedin the UK. 82,359 were negative according to the Evening Standard, 12 hours ago
What they should be doing every year for the flu season is to be careful of the infirm elderly and those with compromised immune systems.

She got world acclaim for breaking the law and inciting a whole generation to do the same thing. Now she is back to set us another example.

Funny how the climate realists tweet image of Greta labelled “and then I got the virus”, shows Greta touching her face 😂
Yes that’s a good “how to” for catching the virus.
Now all the cool kids will go protest to get it.
Didn’t she just say that she always follows the advice of those she has granted the status of expert?
So why is she touching her face?
What a media whore.
Here’s some Australian computer modelling of how much distancing compliance is needed to stop the spread (along with shutting schools)
News Story Lab about says it all.
Have they validated their model ?
Oh, I thought not. Here’s my model:
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
This model is already wrong. The virus has up to 14 days incubation period where you are infectious during that time. So if you do the 100% compliance route the chart will continue to rise for another 14 days minimum.
