Thank you. I've seen so many people in public bathroom either not washing hands, washing hands without soap, or not washing them thoroughly that it is no wonder this virus is spreading fast.
I understand the PCR was never intended for diagnosis. All it does is identify fragments of the genetic material they are looking for. If they cycle it too many times which was early c19, like 30 anything will be diagnosed with something. Like fruits, etc. LOL. Washing hands is more important than anything. I wash my hands as soon as I get home from somewhere. I try to keep my hands away from my face which is really hard. Old RN here. Take care!
Hi. I hope the below helps qPCR can be used to CONFIRM diagnosis not 'make' a diagnosis. qPCR is highly specific for the intended nucleic acid target. Increasing the number of cycles in any qPCR will not allow detection of 'anything'. A postivie qPCR and ANY cycle number is better than a 99.999% indication that the target nucleic acid sequence is present in the sample. A high Ct number means there are FEWER target nucleic acid sequence in the sample compared to a lower Ct number. For reference RT-qPCR is required to detect RNA sequences, such as those found in SARS-CoV-2 or Norovirus. No matter how many cycles are run a SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR test will not detect Norovirus and a Norovirus RT-qPCR test will not detect SARS-CoV-2.
Thank you! I’m a nurse, working at the bedside. Hospitals and emergency rooms are shooting these patients right out the door and into rehab rehabilitation hospitals. Everything you discussed is going to help me at work on my next shift. Particularly the asymptomatic norovirus that tests positive for CDF But it’s not tested for norovirus. Also, handwashing vs hand jell is great information. I’ve already shared this on my FB page and with some coworkers.
Thanks for all you do! Scary to think they’re sending the noro patients to rehab centers since those centers are often loaded with elderly patients with low immune function.
Humans are the reservoir for norovirus. That explains why it keeps popping up. You covered a lot of things I didn't know, thanks for the free education!
My favorite cybor doc!!! Happy new year! Can you post a vid about HMPV, China health system and morgues colapsing again... it says attacks kids, the old, and weak systems... been following you since original covid when we were trying to shed light on it. Only 1000 subs back then i see you are grown so much very happy for you! Also as a personal concern, south america deals with dengue some zika and im affraid of visiting with my small children fearing they can get infected... is it that dengerous for their future and future kids? Or as always in life would be an increase percentage or risk? Thanks a ton keep up the awesome work!!!
This would have been a great thing to include in the original video! Most typically 2-3 days, but can be up to two weeks: www.cdc.gov/norovirus/about/index.html
@@WhiteboardMedicine According to UK Health Security Agency, it is possible to pass on the virus before symptoms appear. Has this been proven? Thank you.
My wife picked up a respiratory virus just before Christmas with diarrhea and vomiting then I got it on Christmas then just after new years eve I got the norovirus and started to recover then she got the norovirus and has it right now. Each had their own types of vomiting and diarrhea. Hopefully we are both having the same virus now otherwise it will be rotating through us causing loss of work and wear and tear on our bodies. I'm 65 and it was a little tough with the norovirus.
Sounds like you both have had a rough go. We hope for speedy and long lasting recoveries to get on with 2025! Thanks for checking out the video and for sharing
Is it right that hand gels are ineffective against norovirus? That soap and water is the only effective hand washing regimen and bleach the only effective surface cleaner?
Per the guidance out there, hand gels are not as effective as hand washing! We can’t say for sure that bleach is the only effective surface cleaner, rather it is the most* effective. And of course only use as directed
Hi great video thank you! Norovirus genome is RNA. It can therefore be detected using RT-qPCR (or RQ-PCR). These are the correct terms that should be used for quantitative amplication of RNA sequences. Please don't refer to RT-PCR as 'real-time PCR'. 'real-time PCR' is old terminology is often misleading, and can cause confusion. RT-PCR should only be used to decribe reverse transcription PCR, which is a none quantitiative method for specific amplification of specific RNA sequences. qPCR is the term that should be used to describe quantitative PCR of DNA sequences.
@@Dhakshan-g1s Impossible to say, unfortunately. Certainly some potential bugs circulating, but will depend on exposure patterns, random mutations, and tons of other variables that make it impossible to say with any degree of certainty!
@@WhiteboardMedicine Is there any reason oregano wouldn't kill it? Or clove spice, ginger, turmeric, basil, sage, cinnamon, and rosemary. Why not eat all of them?

most people are slobs-I know some that do not shower everyday!
Good handwashing is always a good thing!

Excellent information
Thank you kindly! We appreciate the kind words and for checking out the video!
Maybe I had that 😢 glad I'm over whatever it was
We are glad as well!
Stay away from restaurants😮
On average, how long an infected person remain contagious after symptoms disappear?
Are infected people contagious during the incubation period?
2 - 3 days.
@@christopherrobinson7541 Yeah, true! Unless you're one of the few unlucky folks who remain contagious 1-2 weeks after having recovered.
2 weeks actually

Hello sir do you think we will have a pandemic this year whether its Bird Flu, Norovirus, HMPV, Or Covid X? Will we have a lockdown ?
We sure hope not!
@WhiteboardMedicine can you elaborate? Like I think we will what do you think are the chances.
@@Dhakshan-g1s Impossible to say, unfortunately. Certainly some potential bugs circulating, but will depend on exposure patterns, random mutations, and tons of other variables that make it impossible to say with any degree of certainty!
Fear😵😵💫
Why not take antivirals?
None of the available antivirals have been shown to be effective against Norovirus! It’s an area of active research though
@@WhiteboardMedicine
Is there any reason oregano wouldn't kill it?
Or clove spice, ginger, turmeric, basil, sage, cinnamon, and rosemary.
Why not eat all of them?
@@mballerthese herbs will not kill the virus, but may help with symptoms.
Just wash your damn hands😢
Always a good recommendation!
What if you cook the food will destroy it😊
As long as it gets to temperature!
