--- Quote from: maginnovision on July 25, 2020, 10:15:22 pm ---What are you, racist? The protests have slowed COVID. Thank whoever you like that they decided to start protesting or you'd really see what COVID could do. https://www.inverse.com/mind-body/covid-blm-protests-link https://coloradosun.com/2020/06/30/police-protests-coronavirus-spread/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/24/us/coronavirus-cases-protests-black-lives-matter-trnd/index.html --- End quote --- It's plausible that more people will stay indoors whilst there's unrest and the protesters represented a relatively small proportion of the population, but: 1) Those articles are around a month old, which is ancient history, as far as the pandemic is concerned. 2) The studies they're based on were also not peer reviewed, so don't take them as solid evidence. Meanwhile, in the UK, the government has reintroduced quarantine for people travelling from Spain. Unfortunately, many people have booked holidays there and will lose money, as they won't be able to return to work for two weeks. This comes after months of lockdown and now we're having one of the coolest and wettest summers in recent years, so more people want to escape to the sun. |

Overall, we have been able to dine in the garden a lot more this year than last year (which to me seems like a reasonable measure of warm dry weather). |

Anyway, back on topic, it seems like long term immunity to COVID-19 is becoming increasingly likely. People who were previously infected with the original SARS back in 2003 still have high levels of T cells which also are likely to make them immune to COVID-19. It's also possible mild coronaviruses which cause the common cold might provide crossimmunity to COVID-19, which could explain why there are asymptomatic infections, which never progress to even a mild illness. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2550-z https://www.ft.com/content/5cf2ee49-df7a-4990-b337-860cf7737b2f I doubt the authorities will acknowledge this, even it does become proven it's not possible to get COVID-19 more than once, because some silly people will deliberately get infected. :palm: |
