This ignores that over time more and more people know they’re immune. Large numbers already are. We really need antibody tests in huge numbers. If 1/3 has already had it then 1/3 should be able to start filling stadiums. It’s not going to take long before the predicted numbers just aren’t possible and people can risk what they want. Either stay home or don’t but there’ll be ZERO justification for the State to *require* it as the immune numbers rise.
This is why a phased approach is the right thing. We’re still lacking data so there needs to be caution - but I think we need a higher priority now on antibody tests. It’s the last major data point that should have a massive impact on decisions but we don’t know what it is, 20%, 50%, 80%?
I think I had it in January, first time I really considered the hospital due to a cough - it was really bad....but I just don’t know, like many others.
In re a third of us being immune I think that’s great but the problem is viruses mutate so then you catch the next one.
That’s why we have a new and only partly effective flu shot each year and the flu is not even a coronavirus.
Unless we’d like to shut down the world until we can quickly destroy pandemic viruses we are going to just have to accept that they are a risk for living. Because there are new ones all the time.
