(leans back and thinks a bit) It would explain asymptomatic spread. If you have some mild immunity to begin with, you can keep the virus' reproduction from spiraling out of control while the rest of immune system catches up. The virus is still reproducing at a fast clip before the things that really target them can kick in.Quote:

Young children, who all have to have their shots would have much more recent immunity. It would explain both levels of vulnerability.
If that is the case we may already have a vaccine that works at least mildly, but just don't know it.
If one has had one of the several human corona viruses as simple cold or flu:

... then T-cells have have been primed for C19 having been stimulated by other non-fatal coronaviruses
As FAILED STATE USA continues to have 10Ms of bad-faith, anti-govt assholes
who refuse masks and distancing, the REPUG so-called govt FAILS to provide enough testing, rapid results testing, and contact tracing

Republican in the hospital with COVID-19 after suggesting virus is a ‘hoax’ and preaching at maskless church service

Arkansas State Sen. Jason Rapert (R)
has a known history of downplaying the coronavirus,
even pushing narratives on social media that describe it as a “hoax.”
Now, he’s contracted the virus after appearing as a guest preacher at Sanctuary of Hope church in Branson, Missouri about two weeks ago.
According to a post on his Facebook page this Thursday, Rapert is in the hospital “after being diagnosed with pneumonia and
testing positive for Covid-19.”
“We have all been doing our best to wear a mask, :lol
social distance :lol
and be careful like everyone else. :lol
This virus is serious :lol
and can attack anyone regardless of age or general health,” he added.

Current coronavirus wave 'could continue through the winter'
now it's looking more likely that the first wave will continue for months,

That's both good and bad, tbhQuote:

Our federal government was extraordinarily counter productive almost the entire way. (under the orange, who gave up trying to talk it down)
You guys really hate when this is pointed outQuote:

Do you think that frequency will increase in the winter months? Will it be tolerable then if it is just a thousand deaths a day, instead of a hundred a day, because someone exceeded that daily count somewhere else?
Before I say anything else, what you just said is one of the creepiest things I have ever witnessed with my own eyes.
tolerable rate of people drowning on dry land every day for DarrinS, tho
One of the creepiest things that you've ever witnessed with your own eyes? Really?Quote:

In my zip code with 30K residents, there are just over 200 cumulative cases and zero deaths.
I ain't responsible for you or your feelings.Quote:
