this article strikes me as funny since they aren’t letting people go outside in some cities except for 1 person every two days

“But in the meantime, some countries, the U.S. in particular, have inappropriately overreacted.”
Actually yes and no. If you recover from the original virus you will be immune. As the virus mutates you could become infected again but would still have some immunity to the new mutated virus.
Per article “...U.S. braces for pandemic”
Here we go...
You really need to get the shingles vaccine pronto. Two shots with some time in between, but not bad. The second shot was sore for a couple days, with swelling, but not bad.
far less pain than shingles. i never want to experience diverticultis type pain again until it is my death bed.
In the case of some viruses the body doesn't produce antibodies for very long...months...
After being infected with a norovirus, people have temporary immune protection, which usually lasts no more than 14 weeks.
In other cases the virus itself destroys the individual's immunity
"During the acute phase of infection, measles induces immune suppression through a process called immune amnesia"
And antibodies are not always 100% effective. For these reasons people can be reinfected even without mutation.
This begins to make some semblance of sense, but they still haven’t shown any evidence of a recovered nCoV 2019 patient being reinfected with a related variant post infection. This all sounds theoretical based on their observations of the mutagenic variability they are seeing and the possible speed of those mutations.
They don’t know if the resultant nCoV-2020 a-(n) variant will even be viable or not. . . or even have the same symptoms as its parent strain. For all they know the new strain may cause the infected person to merely break out in purple spots with yellow fur on their nose, or possibly still be identical enough to the parent strain that the host’s immune system will quickly produce antigens and dispatch it.
It almost sounds as if it’s taken on some of the mutability capacity of a norovirus we ran into several years ago which could mutate at a rate faster than the body could develop antigens to combat it. My lady and I both had that damn thing simultaneously several years ago when it was running around in Central California, and it took months before it ran it’s interesting courses of symptoms. . . just as your body developed an antigen to its latest incarnation, it’s morphed into another variant that has another nasty effect on you in some other part of your body. . . Rinse repeat. . . and then again. . . and again. After about five or six changes, it finally dies out, or mutates to innocuous anonymity. Thank god.
It ran through the schools in our area and for a couple of months they had up to a 50% absentee rate! We don’t know where we got it, because we don’t have kids around anymore, and are home-bodies. But we did.
This was off Doctor Campbell’s YouTube page. He’s been doing daily updates, and seems to have a good bit of understanding. I think he’s done like 10 of these 10-minute updates. They are all worth reviewing.

I think his perception of the peak....is China itself. He also gives the perception that European countries, and the US...will have better healthcare systems to deal with the problem.
See post #87 this thread from @Steve86.
Thanks Steve86!
Not surprising given the mutation rate; it’s turning itself into a new virus, it’s mutating, per the clinical accounts to date.
