Coronavirus (COVID-19) is too exciting for adults to discuss (CLOSED)

Ok, so this is an interesting thread about cross immunity in the population from other coronaviruses. This is in Singapore, I think a while back I had linked a south Korea study that had some similar implications. (But the reason i linked that was because @Jagdaddy and I were talking about immune response/testing positive twice etc)

Anyway there more out there about this where people seem to have some resistance based on a couple different kinds of tcells they may already have... Not just from SARS.

Yeah, I know your comment "Awfully brave talk coming from someone who has built up years worth of sun nutrients" was only sarcasm, but my point of not being overly concerned about being more vulnerable to COVID than most here still stands...as does my comment about you staying under your bed until this all clears. Maybe Taos and his missus can join you.

So, essentially at least half the population Singapore may be already be immune from COVID-19...

Its more complicated than "essentially" since there are different kinds of T-Cells... Some recognize infections, others attack the virus itself, etc. What its implying is though that some individuals (and maybe alot of them) may have some immune system protection. Maybe the presence of some leads to the asymptomatic cases... Or offers protection against low load exposure. It may also explain some of what is apparently disparate impacts from region to region. Africa vs Brazil for example.

All I can really say is pre-existing resistance in the population seems good

Unless you're on the Brazil side of that discussion.

This shit's fascinating. Keep bringing it.

Fascinating maybe very important stuff.

Some states yes, some states no. No state has met all 4 guidelines from the CDC for opening. Flattening the curve is just one aspect of the "Gating". A Testing/Tracking Program must be established. But states are ignoring the Gating Guidelines and doing their own thing whatever that is. There is no consensus on following the CDC or WH guidelines. The WH has created a "free for all" putting the onus on states. .

The WH didn't create a free for all. You should try reading the Constitution some time.

I posted the article because Albom is more eloquent than I could ever be. I agree with him. Tell us how many of your family are you willing to sacrifice to open a state? My view is we should have waited for a successful , widely available treatment before starting the process of opening. Been more patient with treatments. And how long do think it will take to put 40 million back to work? 6 months won't put a dent in 40 million unemployed. It will take years to recover those jobs.

When did Mitch Albom become a virologist?
