I suppose contracting Coronavirus is not a concern when you die of a heat stroke.
Interesting new study on the different strains of the virus, basically confirming previous speculation:

The second infection is continually worrisome - there was a doctor from a hospital in New Orleans that said there were two patients at his hospital that had recovered from the virus, tested negative, went home and then were re-admitted with the virus again (testing positive)

Haha, I went to Bonnaroo one year and there's no way that works.
Also thinking of smaller venues.
People would probably still find a way to make sure they got their selfies in though.
The "reinfection" cases are likely the virus was never gone, or this:

I suppose it's not impossible that some people could contract a different strain and become infected again though.
That is worrisome however repeat cases haven't been a norm that I've seen and that sounds like what's going around right now is the mutated version. Who knows how long the first version was actually out there. If cases are being traced back to November/December in some places, was it here well before then?
The part that I thought was concerning / interesting was just the medical side that they appeared to get better and then regressed. I agree they were probably infected all along. It's also concerning if they are "better" and test negative (falsely) and go home and are still shedding the virus.
Well, finally I can claim the longest and most miserable respiratory "cold" I have had in my life the last week of December and a few days into Jan. were clearly COVID. Only significant travel was Chicago in November, but I am around people that travel on a daily basis, and plenty of people from China. I'm chalking it up to COVID and nobody gonna tell me otherwise.
While a mutation is bad news, it seems it would follow a lot of other viral diseases, and the antibodies you build from "Strain A" would still have a positive effect on fighting "Strain B" depending on some factors. I could be wrong, though.
Fauci has stated it's too soon to know if reinfection is possible. It's highly unlikely a reinfection is possible in such a short period of time. However, other forms of the coronavirus have a history of reinfection.

“As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, infecting millions of people worldwide, a key question is whether individuals are prone to repeat infection. The evidence from endemic coronaviruses suggests that immunity is short-lived, and reinfection is common within one year, with symptom severity possibly more a function of genetics than the presence or absence of antibodies. Research on endemic coronaviruses, along with findings for SARS and MERS, provide context for understanding protective immunity against repeat SARS-CoV-2 infections,” Dr. Jeffrey Shaman, professor of environmental health sciences, said.
As long as the COVID doesn't get you, heat stroke, starving, or any other manner of death is no concern.
Need to go back to my side job. So I went uptown to see if I could get gloves. Only question they had was which size.
Repeating as I had something similar in a trip out to the PNW. It would be nice to know. I only got a strep test (-) and they never named it, only gave me antibiotics for a DOUBLE ear infection and said to call back in if it went to my lungs, which it never did.
Only issue is anybody with me didn't get any symptoms and they'd all be in the 'vulnerable' camp.
Is this a song lyric, dirty joke, or something that actually happened that tells us these things are available?
I bought a box of gloves. They said they had whatever size, they just can’t increase their typical order. So if they buy 10 boxes a week, they can’t ask for 25 boxes.
19 deaths? That's a more than 10% increase in deaths over a 24 hour period.
