Results from the clinical study will help researchers understand whether rapid results testing could be a useful tool in screening for infections at large-scale events.
A trial concert is taking place this month in Barcelona to compare the accuracy of new rapid-result Covid-19 tests against polymerase chain reaction tests.
Primavera Sound is organizing a "pilot concert" in collaboration with Barcelona's Hospital Germans Trias and the Fight AIDS And Infectious Diseases Foundation (FLSIDA) to assess the efficacy of recently developed rapid result Covid-19 tests, El Mundo reports.
The 1,000-person clinical trial is taking place in the nightclub Sala Apolo at the end of October. It will compare new antigen detection tests, which deliver results in 15 minutes, against the performance of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, which have become standard throughout the pandemic.
Once inside, participants won't have to keep a distance of two meters from one another, but wearing masks, except when consuming a beverage, and frequent hand sanitizer use will be mandatory. The lineup has not yet been revealed.
All concert-goers will take the rapid antigen test, and half will also undergo the PCR test. Only those with negative results from the rapid antigen test will be permitted to enter the venue. Eight days after the event, everyone who attended will go through another round of rapid testing, with the same half as before taking PCR tests. FLSIDA will closely monitor anyone with positive results after this second round of testing.
If proven effective, these rapid tests could come to play a significant role in preventing the number of infection clusters stemming from events and large gatherings in the time before a vaccine is widely available.
In the United States, many in the private market have already started relying on rapid testing as a safety precaution for gatherings, the New York Times reports. Experts, however, are expressing concern about how useful this is. Due to the virus' two-week incubation period, one can easily get a negative result, even after having been recently exposed. The city of New York's deputy commissioner of disease control Dr. Demetre Daskalakis described negatives from rapid tests as "not definitive," and told the newspaper they re-test all negatives gleaned from this method a second time before results are considered conclusive.
In August, Germany held three indoor pilot concerts for a total of 1,500 volunteers for a live music study called Restart-19. The study's aim was more general than Spain's rapid-testing focus, with each concert using varying safety measures.
Are they going to have the people quarantine at home during those 8 days following the event? Couldn't someone catching covid after the concert fuck up the study?
One of my best friends tested positive Saturday and was admitted to the hospital last night. They're starting her on Remdesivir. She's a bit older than me and has had some health problems in the past, so I'm nervous but trying to keep my thoughts positive. If you can spare a good thought for a wonderful stranger, please send one her way <3

Just saw that. So sad. Elections have consequences. He was apparently a good dude who really helped Bonnaroo flourish. Hope someone will continue that legacy.
Johnson and Johnson vaccine trail has been shut down. So has the Lilly Antibody therapy.
Fuck. Two steps forward, one step back.
I wouldn’t worry too much. The fact that some promising vaccines aren’t going through shows that the system is maintaining its integrity. Now that everyone, errrm some people who aren’t selfish, have adapted to living separated from the amount of people that we normally socialize with, it’s gotten easier. And there are still plenty of viable candidates at the moment that will just require more time.

I’m in the Moderna camp of course. I go next week for my blood work. This is the one that tells them if I’m building up antibodies. Fingers. Crossed.

I don't think it's been shut down, only paused as far as i know due to an "unexplainable illness"... a pretty common occurrence for these kinds of trials. The Oxford trial went thru the same thing last month and has already picked back up in the rest of the world except the US (since the FDA is generally more stringent than other foreign medical administrations...hard to believe but true)

I am so over this shit. Cases are spiking in Nashville. Our hospitals are full, because surrounding counties that laugh at us for wearing masks are flooding our hospitals when they get sick.
And some dumb ass religious group had a "protest" rally this weekend with thousands of unmasked idiots in attendance. Nashville could do nothing because it would interfere with religious freedom.
And my husband's dumb ass relatives from Whosville want to have a "family reunion" because now is a GREAT time to see long lost relatives I have never heard of. And I'm going to be the liberal bitch that does not attend and keeps her husband (their poor pussy whipped cousin) from attending.

Fuck all these people.
Is he whipped or maybe he doesn't care to see that side of his family anyways?
