Great article. I possibly picked up the virus around Dec 30 in Mass visiting a nursing home. It may have been flu (flu symptoms) plus a cold (lost sense of taste and smell). But i n any case by April the nursing home had many undetected cases including 1/3 of the staff and 1/4 of the patients. Some patients in their 80's had no sympyoms. In April Gov Baker (RINO-Mass) tested everyone and found the carriers. Since the day of the test results they have had zero spread.

They send emails about how they are proud of their infection control and sacrifices by their staff. Rightfully so. They had better infection control than most other facilities before COVID. But the whole experience begs the question: once you know about the virus you can stop it even in a very easy-spread setting. I presume it was mainly the asymptomatic women in their 80's increasing the load day after day. Plus asymptomatic staff.

Looking at the super-spreading events like Biogen it is quite possible that it was not simply a super-spreader, but a deliberate spreader. That event led to nearly all known cases in Mass in March. But what if that event was, in part, to provide cover for the unknown cases?

Unlike the flu there aren't two billion people with it around the world. Many parts of the world have no barriers or mitigation. It means the virus is a sporadic spreader, not a good spreader like flu. It could also mean the virus got help. I still think the Chinese woman who left Biogen and went back to China "to get tested" is interesting. She was already tested here and tested positive.

I'm not a conspiracy person, I only believe in reality. I believe I had the flu+cold until I hear convincing evidence to the contrary.

Recently I saw several top scientists say that in effect there are. They observed that all SARS-family viruses can be killed--with greater or lesser efficiency--by antibodies to other SARS viruses, and that this includes the WuFlu. And that even antibodies to strains of the common cold provide some immunity.

And I haven't seen any scientist lately accepting that you can pass on the virus if you have no symptoms. Even the CDC admitted that a few weeks ago.

This subject is a moving target, but I think a few things are becoming clear: This is a flu virus like the swine, bird, etc. The surviving strains become weaker over time because the virulent ones kill their sufferers before they get the chance to spread it to very many people. Those deadliest strains die with their victims while the milder strains reproduce abundantly. Their victims don't get too sick to party!
