Thanks @57 and I thought the same thing.
With that said, I am still surprised this virus has not impacted the homeless community more severely given their health, hygiene, and density in shelters.
It is pretty obvious that we do not understand much about this virus and how it spreads. Based on the numbers we are seeing there is a wide disparity between and even within separate communities.
“amazingly depressing discoveries. Yesterday, we shared a report about one sweeping antibody testing regime set up by researchers in Santa Clara County in California.
The study found that the estimated level of novel coronavirus penetration in the county was 50-80% higher than what had been recorded.”
Why is that depressing? Seems like it should be great news. That many more people don’t have to worry about getting infected. They were infected and are doing fine.
The linked article claims 50 to 80% higher. That statement in the article links to another article that claims 50 to 80 FOLD, which would be 5000 to 8000% higher. There is a difference.
Mine was not much. My wifes was bad and went to the doc. She said its probably not covid because no fever. Again the refusal to test for covid as the symptoms dont exactly match.
I have an incredibly good immune system (this is a problem and makes me sick other ways) but I get minor cold symptoms for only a day or three. My severe autoimmune disease has this as a minor benefit.
The test is flawed.....
Then is Iceland using the same flawed test? They tested a random 10% of their population and found 50% had or have had the WuFlu.
Amen bro.
But it IS fun!
Why is this depressing? This is very good news if the tests are valid.
Isn’t that what I just said?
It must be the Night Train wine doing it’s job.
The ones without immunity are dead.
I read that too, but I do not know the extent of natural immunity people might have, and I doubt the experts do either.
The Chinese screwed up - the first attack should have been basically unnoticeable or an effective killing machine. Instead they’ll have to piggy back the next virus on top of this one... the ‘second wave’...
Sad for them...
Forewarned is forearmed. We are warned - and we are ready.
