Yep California may have already been thru a first wave and it didn't cripple us


There's more than a single source of food in the nation.

Did you forget that Russia is a European nation? It dwarfs the US in land area by itself.
Did you mean the EU?


They aren't opening back up next week they're laying the groundwork for how the reopening will happen.
That would be interesting if true especially if the immune response/development of neutralising antibodies is similar to that with other CoronavirusesYep California may have already been thru a first wave and it didn't cripple us![]()
The Time Course of the Immune Response to Experimental Coronavirus Infection of Man - PubMed15 volunteers inoculated with coronavirus 229E (a coronavirus that causes the common cold). Ten of them, who had significantly lower concentrations of pre-existing antibody than the rest, became infected and eight of these developed colds. A limited investigation of circulating lymphocyte populations showed some lymphocytopenia in infected volunteers. In this group, antibody concentrations started to increase 1 week after inoculation and reached a maximum about 1 week later. Thereafter antibody titres slowly declined. Although concentrations were still slightly raised 1 year later, this did not always prevent reinfection when volunteers were then challenged with the homologous virus. However, the period of virus shedding was shorter than before and none developed a cold.
Duration of Antibody Responses after Severe Acute Respiratory SyndromeAmong 176 patients who had had severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), SARS-specific antibodies were maintained for an average of 2 years, and significant reduction of immunoglobulin G–positive percentage and titers occurred in the third year. Thus, SARS patients might be susceptible to reinfection >3 years after initial exposure.

screened using a safe and sensitive pseudotyped-lentiviral-vector-based neutralization assay.
The titers of (neutralising anti-bodies) were
variable in different patients. Elderly and middle-age patients had significantly higher
44 plasma NAb titers (P<0.0001) and spike-binding antibodies (P=0.0003) than young
45 patients. Notably, among these patients, there were ten patients whose NAb titers were under the detectable level of our assay (ID50: < 40); while in contrast, two patients,
showed very high titers of NAb, with ID50 :15989 and 21567 respectively.
About 30% of recovered patients generated very low titers of SARS-CoV-2 specific neutralising antibodies
It's ridiculous that every person all of a sudden thinks because they had a bad cold they had the coronavirus. Hospitals would have been seeing respiratory issues in abundance in order for herd immunity to workYep California may have already been thru a first wave and it didn't cripple us![]()


DID YOU FORGET 77% OF RUSSIA'S LAND IS IN ASIA?
