100% correct. Getting an antibody test is pissing into the wind along with wasting time and money.

That is not correct

I do not think my time was wasted when I donated blood & ok’d an antibody test to be done to see if I could possibly donate plasma
Unfortunately I was negative, I would have had no problem donating plasma

Got the MMR boosted today. So how long does it generally take before it would be considered effective in any manner? Or has that even been determined?

100% even though positive cases have been in decline for a few weeks.

FWIW, who would take the test if no symptoms? Of course, positive rate should be above 20% since we are out of normal flu season

He will def. be extending it. He will bang the drum about part of the reason being because some schools are starting back up and wanting to make sure of no spikes.
And then he's going to expend again to make sure we can stay in the current phase until after Labor Day to make sure people don't go have fun and stuff and cause problems.

Is the NY Times getting off of fthe "if it saves one life..." train?

quote:

This insidious disease has touched every part of the globe. It is tuberculosis, the biggest infectious-disease killer worldwide, claiming 1.5 million lives each year.

Until this year, TB and its deadly allies, H.I.V. and malaria, were on the run. The toll from each disease over the previous decade was at its nadir in 2018, the last year for which data are available.


Predicted additional deaths as fallout of SARS 2.0:

~1.4M additional deaths from TB
~500K additional deaths from H.I.V.
~385K additional deaths from malaria

The intervention of school closure did not appear to decrease the incidence of coronavirus infection.

This thread was way ahead on the T cell issue.
It’s a big deal.

British Universities' research (news release link; paper link in news release) suggesting:

quote:

Actual deaths due to COVID are some 54% or 63% lower than implied by the standard excess deaths measure, and reported excess deaths likely include a significant number of non-COVID deaths.

While it is well known that COVID deaths are concentrated in the elderly, the study finds them to be particularly acute in the very elderly (75-84 and 85+ years old).

Over the lockdown period as a whole Government policy has increased mortality rather than reduced it.



Interesting.

How in the frick have the T cell studies not been mentioned by the experts or the national media. This thread has been talking about them for probably 2 months now.

Literally anyone I tell this to has never heard of it and it seems pretty godamn significant.
