On the flip side, there have also been theories ,supported by blood tests, that a huge percentage of the population has a built in immune response from being exposed to other coronaviruses, perhaps even many years ago.
I’m not falling for that “no immunity” garbage. The human body doesn’t work like that. This virus is very similar in structure to other coronaviruses. The very first lie we were told was that this was something new for which nobody would have any immune response. Remember that? Bogus. The people who can’t now see this as deliberate deception are lying to themselves.
Worse days may be ahead but it won’t be because of this virus.
Thx for the info, Pedro. I'm not sure 20% does the trick on those charts, but it is an interesting possibility. Also, the most shocking part of those charts is the big spike in cases in May through late June yet it didn't seem to affect the slope of decreasing deaths at all. I have my own theories on that, but it is impressive. I'm still inclined to go with that guy's theory in the article on the HIT being lower than thought. That would put the virus burnout much sooner, particularly if there a lot of people who already have some immunity.
We still don't know much on immunity, but I'm not aware of anybody getting symptoms a second time. I think they had some positive tests after negative tests, but I think they were mostly asymptomatic. That's going from memory, so I could be wrong. Also, don't forget that we get flu shots every year, so that is a possibility with a vaccine.
I see that. Numbers I am seeing are also the same. What I linked also said it only counts number of people, not multiple tests of the same person on the same day.
The problem is that it counts the same person as another new case on a different day and doesn’t provide information on how many people tested were being tested for the first time, versus how many people being tested were being tested for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc time and are still showing positive. But they still publish those 2nd, 3rd, 4th positive results as a “new positive” even though that’s not the case.
Where are the totals for these tests? Total tests and positives? Why just a percentage of an unknown number?
I have stated before my wife's hospital reports 3 new cases if the same person test positive 3 times
Very interesting perspective.
If you like tinfoil hats
You probably also discount all of the theories on the military industrial complex, Haliburton, etc.
Oh, and Russia, right? The Russia-Trump collusion thing must have had you rolling your eyes from day 1.
Let's try to stay on topic please
That's the kind of response I would expect from a Gator fan . What part? You don't think money drives things in this country? It is funny how the experts said wearing masks doesn't help to oh my God they will save us all. What studies of mask wearing came out that quick to make them change their stance a full 180 degrees? I am telling you in this part of Florida during the supposed shutdown I saw more people in stores and at Home Depot etc. and nobody was wearing masks. The crowds were bigger because nobody was working. Now I see masks everywhere including me but the numbers are rising.
Cucumbers are the answer to the pandemic.
Edit: this is from a preprint paper
JACKSON, Miss. (WLOX) - Across the entire state, there were 1,017 new cases of COVID-19 and 14 new deaths reported Saturday.
3rd consecutive day of 1000+ cases. What ever happened to flatten the curve?
