What would you know about science?
But in science,
I suspect when a test to determine immunity becomes available we will discover far more people have had covid 19 and are perfectly fine than has been reported and the people who shut down the economy will look like idiots.
I can't think of a single deadly disease that doesn't kill some and not others. Most people's bodies have the ability to fight it off, some don't. Most have the ability to survive the strain it puts on various systems in our bodies, some don't.I was wondering about this COVID-19 virus. Over a million has been detected that has the virus and probably more that has not been detected but has the virus. Thousands die and thousands recover. What is puzzling is that there is no cure, but how were these people recover? Does that mean this COVID-19 is fatal to others but not to others? That there is a natural defense that people have inside their bodies?
I it just means you fought it off with little to no drama.
Choose your parents carefully.How does one accomplish that?
Full of what?Is the NPR section too full?
Good News is if this is the real deal, Pool Rooms, Pool Bars, and Leagues could be back to normal. Guess that is not important News?
I think the best handle on the number of COVID-19 deaths is the number of excess deaths -- how many people died in June compared to June of last year or the average over the previous five years corrected for population growth/decline. Those numbers might include people who died of heart attacks because they couldn't get into a crowded hospital, but there won't be many of those.... Also keep in mind that many deaths are labeled as covid deaths, even though though they could have been from the flu, or other causes, as they were just labeled Covid without testing for it. ...

On the other side of the pandemic, assuming there is another side, we will see "negative excess" deaths, as the old people who were "supposed" to die later will already have been counted.Bob Jewett
I agree. excess deaths makes sense
I believe the traditional phrase is, "Arizona, you're doing a heck of a job!"Yes- Get out there and mingle- Arizona is doing great!!
Maybe you should stop buying "biotech" stocks for a bit, because the race is on to make $$$$. You should be well versed in Theranos being a "biotech" invstor, so here's their early efforts in patent trolling post-epidemic sales...

In other news a man 3D printed a part to help combat low supply, now's he's being threatened with lawsuits. The part originally costs $11,000, his version that can be printed out directly by hospitals cost 11,000x less.... $1.

The money race is on, first with a vaccine wins!!!
Any federal regulation approval process is out the window for _immediate_ pandemics, how is that not historically obvious? People don't depend on a federal approval process to have their lives saved during pandemics, they never have... ever (in fact, that defeats the entire purpose of the W.H.O., Doctors Without Borders, PeaceCorp., etc...).
Lastly, the presented information here with the vaccine for H1N1 is either FUD or yet more he-said-she-said. Tamiflu not only existed prior to H1N1 but was approved years before the 2009 outbreak. BTW, Tamiflu is _STILL_ recommended (along with something new to me called Zanamivir, which is apparently better).... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_A_virus_subtype_H1N1 Spreading gossip about COVID-19 is 1 thing, but you can't do that with H1N1, too many of us have read too much about it (it's been 10 years!!).
Oh, the the fatality rate is now at a all time low for COVID-19 in the USA.
Total cases: 15,219
Total deaths: 201
201/15219 = .013...
So if your 65 or older and have contracted it, you have at worst a 98.7% chance to live.
