The comment I made earlier had nothing to do with population density. It had to do with one of Harry's assertions that the corvid-19 virus established itself in countries in Europe *before* it was first confirmed in the USA. He was trying to make the case that *that* is the reason for their higher death rate per million population. I presented dates of the first confirmed cases for several countries including those that Harry routinely likes to compare their superior health care systems to that of the USA. Bottom line ... the Corvid-19 virus was confirmed in the USA weeks or in one case at least a month before it was confirmed in his favorite countries in Europe. Unfortunately the first cases in Washington State were in a nursing home where the death rate was staggering but not unusual for a nursing home. Those people don't expect to come out of there alive in the first place. Seeing the charts where most of the cases are in the elderly, does not seem correct. I think the disease should be more evenly distributed. Therefore there has to be a lot of undiagnosed cases. They will be mild, so the younger are thinking it is something else and not getting checked. You are correct...there are lots of undiagnosed cases. And how do you know this? Now a medical expert? I was agreeing with you. For the most part, access to the tests has been restricted to relatively few of those with the severest symptoms and hardly at all to those with mild symptoms. Ergo, there are a lot of undiagnosed cases. I still am not sure what the value of the test is if you are not getting tested at least once a week and then what. You could get infected coming home from the test. Fauci says we should all act like we know we have it. It's a shame the liberals can't, or won't, understand that. Every day we're told in the briefings that only those with symptoms should be tested. Yet they keep whining that there are not enough test kits for the whole population. It's an 'anti-Trump' thing. I am not even sure what that testing accomplishes other than just maintaining the stats. Fauci says anyone with symptoms should just assume they have it and act accordingly. Even in the hospital, the treatment is just controlling the symptoms for the most part. At a certain point the test we will need is for the antibodies to see if you actually had it, once this thing has infected a certain percentage of the population, to see who is left at risk. It will be similar to chicken pox or one of those other diseases that is controlled but there are still people who need to be careful because they never had it. There is no evidence yet that having been infected with this virus means you are immune to it in the future. There are precedents. With SARS, MERS and some Monkey testing. A coronavirus is of the same general family that causes the common cold. This novel covid-19 version is of the same family. You don't become immune to getting a cold just because you've had one in the past. We do get immunity to colds from my earlier research. Problem is most colds are a Rhinovirus are 150 versions. So each cold gives immunity to that virus, but still a bunch. One of the reasons older people get less colds. Until lately, never heard of Coronavirus caused colds. But seems as if we only have 19 versions of Coronavirus. |

The comment I made earlier had nothing to do with population density. It had to do with one of Harry's assertions that the corvid-19 virus established itself in countries in Europe *before* it was first confirmed in the USA. He was trying to make the case that *that* is the reason for their higher death rate per million population. I presented dates of the first confirmed cases for several countries including those that Harry routinely likes to compare their superior health care systems to that of the USA. Bottom line ... the Corvid-19 virus was confirmed in the USA weeks or in one case at least a month before it was confirmed in his favorite countries in Europe. Unfortunately the first cases in Washington State were in a nursing home where the death rate was staggering but not unusual for a nursing home. Those people don't expect to come out of there alive in the first place. Seeing the charts where most of the cases are in the elderly, does not seem correct. I think the disease should be more evenly distributed. Therefore there has to be a lot of undiagnosed cases. They will be mild, so the younger are thinking it is something else and not getting checked. You are correct...there are lots of undiagnosed cases. And how do you know this? Now a medical expert? I was agreeing with you. For the most part, access to the tests has been restricted to relatively few of those with the severest symptoms and hardly at all to those with mild symptoms. Ergo, there are a lot of undiagnosed cases. I still am not sure what the value of the test is if you are not getting tested at least once a week and then what. You could get infected coming home from the test. Fauci says we should all act like we know we have it. It's a shame the liberals can't, or won't, understand that. Every day we're told in the briefings that only those with symptoms should be tested. Yet they keep whining that there are not enough test kits for the whole population. It's an 'anti-Trump' thing. I am not even sure what that testing accomplishes other than just maintaining the stats. Fauci says anyone with symptoms should just assume they have it and act accordingly. Even in the hospital, the treatment is just controlling the symptoms for the most part. At a certain point the test we will need is for the antibodies to see if you actually had it, once this thing has infected a certain percentage of the population, to see who is left at risk. It will be similar to chicken pox or one of those other diseases that is controlled but there are still people who need to be careful because they never had it. There is no evidence yet that having been infected with this virus means you are immune to it in the future. There are precedents. With SARS, MERS and some Monkey testing. A coronavirus is of the same general family that causes the common cold. This novel covid-19 version is of the same family. You don't become immune to getting a cold just because you've had one in the past. They will tell you that you are immune to "that" cold but the cold mutates every year and you may not be immune to the next one. You might still have helpful antibodies that make it easier to beat. Same with the flu. It does make this far scarier than other viruses since we will all be starting at zero (assuming that is right) and if we are chasing another moving target, this might just be the new normal. We might be getting Covid inoculations every year that are only 40-60% effective. (like the flu shot) |

There is no evidence yet that having been infected with this virus means you are immune to it in the future. I suppose we could argue about the theory of immunology but I defer to the government doctors who assume the blood of a survivor would put antibodies in a victim but they might be wrong. We will know pretty soon because they are doing it BTW this was the first use of vaccines long before they knew about germs at all. I think the theory is that the antibodies will boost the immune system and help those who are sick recover. They also have said the effect is temporary and does not impart immunity. Part of the immunity may be the T-cells learning the virus is an invader. Been some research on why certain diseases are ignored by the immune system. |
