After a year now of dealing with the SARS-COV-2 virus, we have learned a great deal about the pandemic. The elusive goal has been to acquire herd immunity and have life go back to normal. However, our mainstream media and some governmental health authorities have ignored parts of the scientific picture that could help us understand herd immunity. They have placed excessive importance on vaccination as the only way to herd immunity. This is not entirely true. There is scientific data showing that we may be closer to herd immunity and the end of the pandemic than the media and government let on.
At the start of the pandemic, we were told that the SARS-COV-2 was a “novel” virus, meaning a brand-new virus that has not been seen before. If this were true, then it would be much harder to treat or make a workable vaccine.
Fortunately, this was not true. SARS-COV-2 is in the family of coronaviruses and shares common characteristics with other members of the same family. Four coronaviruses commonly circulate in our population and cause symptoms of the common cold. Did persons have some cross-immunity to the “new” SARS-COV-2 virus from previous infections with other viruses in the Coronavirus family? The answer was yes.
T cells (a type of white blood cell) and antibodies can both be measured to study immunity. Studies of T cell function in 2020 showed that patients who had not been exposed to SARS-COV-2 in several countries had evidence of cross-reactivity from known coronaviruses and SARS-COV-2. The range of cross-reactivity ranged from 18% in Sweden to 51% in Singapore.

Yeah, but liberals want to wear masks forever and socially distance themselves from conservatives for perpetuity.
It was NOT a pandemic.
It WAS a scamdemic by the communist party incl the deep state members.
The trend lines, at least in the US are looking very good.
The curves have not been flattened.
“Yeah, but liberals want to wear masks forever and socially distance themselves from conservatives for perpetuity.”
I’m all for that.. liberals have a distinctive, pungent odor about them. Best we stay as far from them as possible.
socially distance themselves
Don’t want them around me either...
There was never anything to this but a huge over reaction and a growing sense that people would trade any freedom for “safety”. It perpetuated itself, built on itself and now they won’t relinquish their power.
Its really time to end this at an individual level...make it unenforceable. Wherever possible.
There are many here on FR who are quite willing to do the same. Such a shame.
If we don’t stand up to the overlords, these bastards will rule us forever with their deceptions.
What about COVID-21, COVID-22, COVID-23, and any other scamdemic the government is going to foist on the public?
“Yeah, but liberals want to wear masks forever and socially distance themselves from conservatives for perpetuity.”
Just what I was thinking. And in an effort to keep the ball rolling, now they’re telling the sheep to be very afraid of variants.
Trick question. It never was a pandemic. Just a test for worse things to come and how people will respond. Call it a social experiment.
Which curves?
It will never be over in Blue States
I’ m sure they have just begun to realize the “pandemic’s” usefulness...
So far, the left has used it to begin the destruction of the middle class, and it was VERY advantageous to stealing a national election.
So, one is left to wonder- where will they take it next?

Fauzi curves. He was on the mound pitching. His curve went wild. Good thing the stands were empty. Spectators could’ve been killed.
All I need to recall about COVID and how government has “handled” the “crisis” is that A YEAR AGO we were being told by the “experts” ‘two weeks to flatten the curve’.
People’s collective memory is way too short and... Whoa! LOOK! A SQUIRREL!
.
More Covid-related deaths...
Condolences to...
