Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

Arizona reports 2,742 new cases and 147 new deaths. 106 of the 147 are due to death certificate matching.
 
Studies are showing this will be like the flu IRT immunity so far, with slightly different strains every year, but there seems little chance that this virus is going to go away anytime soon, best case IMO is it slowly weakens over time to something like the weaker flu strains and then every year they will develop a vaccine that will help limit it some...and like the flu there will be the stronger less common strains that are stronger and more dangerous and will be responsible for the majority of deaths year to year.....basically we have added another slightly nastier than the flu bug to the system we have to deal with every year. The study below explains why there have been a few unlucky folks to already have Covid twice....and also why herd immunity is not going to happen.....at least not lasting effective herd immunity.


"For some patients, no antibodies were detected after just a few months, throwing doubt on hopes for a long-lasting vaccine. "
“The team tested subjects who recovered from COVID-19 and found the presence of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells in all of them, which suggests that T cells play an important role in this infection. Importantly, the team showed that patients who recovered from SARS 17 years ago after the 2003 outbreak, still possess virus-specific memory T cells and displayed cross-immunity to SARS-CoV-2.”

This is so very promising. Never underestimate the immune system of a human being.

I would posit that your best defense is a healthy immune system. Enough exercise, plenty of rest, quality foods and vitamins and limited stress should belp boost the immune system. Stay away from drugs and alcohol.

I guess that is good news though only 8000 people where known to have SAR's in 2003 and 800 or 10% of them died.....the fact is so far people are not keeping their Covid19 antibodies more than several months....this means no herd immunity in the short term and means vaccines will only be 30-40% effective. The real hope is the virus degrades into something similar to the common cold...

If antibodies drop and T cells take over, that would be good too. If you have symptoms, stay away from others. The vulnerable stay vigilant and the rest go back to business as usual seems to be a reasonable approach to me.
 
Is this for real? 32k dead with 6k alone in nursing homes was such a great plan

It's so bad even the Democrats up there are going to have investigations over it

Disclosure: the irony in this statement was not picked up on in the 3 comments. Shocking right?

Seems there are 2 camps. First camp wants everything to go back to normal but refuses to be a part of any solution. Wont wear mask, wont take it seriously, blames everyone else for the current situation. Second camp doesnt mind wearing masks, social distancing, willing to listen to experts.

Both camps want he same thing but one camps methods will not lead to the results they want.
