We will develop an immunity, and I’m convinced most Americans already have because this didn’t come in late Jan.
It came in mid-December. Just survey how many people you know hat the ‘flu’ in December. A shocking number of my friends/wife’s friends. Far more than normal. China had this in mid-Nov., so it’s entirely likely this was in the US by the 2nd week of Dec. at the latest. And what happened? It was so weak, no one noticed it till the Chicoms ANNOUNCED it. That is, 99.99% of Americans survived it and now are immune.
I had something in Jan that made me go to Urgent Care to get an inhaler and a Chest X-Ray.
I suspect it was something else given the current trouble in Italy.
When the serum test for Corona WuHuFlu anti-bodies becomes available, I may go find out if it passed through me.
Yup. Caught a bug on Black Friday which I now believe was coronavirus. There were no travel restrictions on anybody coming from any part of the Earth at that time. It likely has widely spread and dissipated. Not that it isn’t still really deadly to some.
I saw a study suggesting of the total cases, we only know about 32%, and the other 68% are people who are infected and have no symptoms or such minor symptoms they didn’t even think about it.
I’ve also run numbers showing that if you had a 98% immunity, and a 2% death rate for those who were not immune, you’d see numbers exactly like what we are seeing from China and South Korea. When Italy breaks their curve, I am betting their numbers will come in under my calculations, but this doesn’t mean I’m right, it is just statistics.
