His other two articles are linked in this one. Lots of facts, data and other articles linked in them. I believe the Stanford article about heard immunity that someone mentioned earlier in this tread is linked in his 2.0 article.

A lot more “positive” cases.... is that “positive” Covid news?

Yep, it means we're closer to herd immunity.

The Netherlands had determined that masks are not necessary and the emphasis should be physical distancing, hand washing, and not going out and about when you don't feel well.

Just think...we only need how many million deaths to reach herd immunity?

And here we go

Lots of news, both positive and negative, can we please keep the discussion to science and math please?

**** no. We can and will politicize everything whether it should be politicized or not.

So, like, exactly what we did in the US to slow the spread.

Most likely significantly less than 1 million.

So, if I get Covid I should go to the zoo and get a LLama to spit at me? I suppose it would be how bad my Covid case was.

Oh, ok...we were coming from different angles.

My 3 tests were from different clinics and I figure the consistency tells me I had it but to my knowledge they were all Y/N results, not levels...but I still take the same sort of precautions for all sorts of reasons.

No doubt the amount who've had it is higher than confirmed (I saw some blurb estimating between 6 and 24X last week?) and knowing what sorts of numbers indicate immunity, and being able to have ready access to testing for that would be great imo.

Or it means you had it, had immunity from having it, but you no longer have antibodies so you are now ready to get it again.

Could be and that's definitely part of the precautions but all signs point toward T-Cells; otherwise we'd hear about an awful lot of reinfections.

Since this thread popped up again.

This would be nice. Kinda reminds me of something from Futurama or something but that's cool too.

The news on the T-Cell impact is encouraging. Testing is currently off the charts, over 800k in one day, yet hospital visits with CLI has been trending down in many of the southern wave states for awhile now. Virus still making its way through states and communities, but in many spots people are learning to live with it, versus lockdown mentality.

Learning to LIVE with it, uh? Maybe you want to rephrase?

The United States on Wednesday suffered the highest number of coronavirus deaths since mid-May, making it the deadliest day this summer.

There were 1,503 deaths, according to the Covid Tracking Project.
