...and if there is only transient antibody production there will never be and herd immunity at all.

It's a good thing we have you here to set us straight. There's not a single piece of news that you can't put the worst possible spin on.

Put a number on how many you think will die of this. You're an "authority", so impart some of that great wisdom to us. Best guess number of dead in one year. Go ahead.

I’m a physician, or was. I’m sharing what I read. As I posted, who knows? It’s new. Would you like this better?

“It’s just a flu, guys! It’s nothing. We are going to have a new 100% effective drug this afternoon! And a vaccine that is harmless! Next week! (This amuses me. Antivaxxers demanding a vaccine.) Look! The Death Rate is GOING DOWN!!!”

Would you like that better or the truth?

Not against the idea, but I’d like to know exactly what “isolate the most vulnerable” entails.

Yes. Put all the over 65 year olds, the cancer patients m the obese, the ones with high blood pressure and those with diabetes away for a month.

“It’s not evil to point out the stark, brutal truth. Life is rarely fair, but it’s immensely more unfair to pretend there is no other sane choice than simply ‘shutting it all down.’”

I was just in the car, running mail up to the post box (which is a mile away) and had the radio on. Our local Conservative Morning Guy was doing a day-by-day on how China totally muffed this up and tried to keep it HIDDEN from the rest of the world when this started back in December in a public market in Wuhan.

Kinda scary, actually. I, for one, am putting the blame for this world-wide problem squarely on the Chinese Commies.

As that little twerp Greta would say, “How Dare You!”

The b@stards!

Note to Trump: Talk to Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea - where they didn’t shut down their economy. Ask them what they did and how they did it. Quit listening to the arrogant U.S. NIH/CDC/FDA bureaucracy - they failed, in fact worse, they obstructed faster U.S. response, leaving you and the nation bare to a last ditch shut down and shelter in place strategy - which didn’t have to be.
