“Or it could be that the estimated R0 for this virus (up to 5 or 6) was incredibly optimistic.”

Heh, that was the apocalyptic estimate.

“NHK conducted an experiment to see how germs spread at a cruise buffet.

They applied fluorescent paint to the hands of 1 person and then had a group of 10 people dine.

In 30 min the paint had transferred to every individual and was on the faces of 3. “

Only .7% had antibodies. Not good for the “herd immunity” folks...

Hopefully that study is an outlier, and not representative of the actual infection rate of our population. If you applied that 0.7% to the entire population with the current death toll, you would have a case fatality rate of about 3.5%. There have to be far more than 2.3 million people exposed.

If that number is anywhere near reality, it shows we have either successfully limited the spread or it's not nearly as contagious as we thought, or some combination. Or the antibody test could be crap.

It was a month ago, of a specific group that probably isn’t representational...

We need more info, but this is something for the mix.

this woman gets creative for face protection mixed with style

this version would be too hot for summer but it provides protection. She also has a zippered hat

saw an interesting conspiracy theory.

bioweapon that activates latent Toxoplasmosis. It has similar symptoms.

In theory, Commie China could try to develop something that would activate latent issue.

Dont know if Toxoplasmosis does the same thing to your immune system that Covid is doing

5/10 - 33,452 (+877) - 1,405 (+4) Sun

I haven’t figured out why 1, my numbers are so far from the numbers they are chart on their website, when I have been using their numbers daily. Two, just eyeballing it, it doesn’t look like we are on a downward trend. I may throw them in a chart sometime today and see.

Antibody tests were offered in Pocatello recently. My wife and I participated. The number of positives found was 0.76%. Right in line with your reference. I don't think we're getting even a fraction of what is necessary for "herd immunity". Another article posted upthread indicated that only one of the strains seems to produce any "herd immunity". Another just sets up "antibody dependent enhancement" leading to a worse outcome on a re-infection.

Idaho has over 2200 cases. The number in that list is flawed.

If this just killed old people, china would be seeking ‘herd immunity’ by now.

They’re not.

What does China know that they haven’t told us or we haven’t figured out yet?

If anyone follows Katica @GOPanalyst on Twitter (uncovered Paul Combetta/stonetear shenanigans w/ HRC’s email server), she has been ill. Tested, and has the antibodies for Covid-19. Was told she is not immune from getting it again. She is in Palm Beach, FL.

Her Mom died unexpectedly about a month and a half ago, IIRC. Makes me wonder if she might have had it, unknowingly.
