What is really interesting is the number of parishes close to 67% cumulative infection rate. Better for herd immunity than a transient vaccine which will likely need booster shots every 6 months or so.

This is what we said from the get go, isolate the most vulnerable, get healthy, and let the young develop immunity.

While this is good from a standpoint that people aren’t getting sick, none of the data matters to the politicians. I fully expect gov smacks to impose further restrictions

I don’t. If the numbers have plateaued or even start dropping there will be no way people will follow restrictions. They are already barely following the current ones.

I fully expected restrictions added last Friday. We had record hospitalizations and cases reported. If the numbers start improving, I just can’t see it.

I just got the report that my antibodies are low (not sure exactly what that means from a # perspective at this point). So, unless I had COVID multiple times, they were at a good rate for close to 18 months.

Obviously, the low means I still have some, and the B & T-Cells, so not concerned.

Hospitalizations are going to bounce up and down a bit but stay flat. No one panic.

Had a friend of mine who is on the board at LGMC tell me that not getting the vaccine was playing Russian Roulette. I then explained to him that a virus with a 99% survivability rate equates to a Russian Roulette of 1 bullet in a 100 chamber gun. Give me the gun, I think I'll be fine. I call him "The Pusher" since he's been droning on and on about getting the shot. Almost like he has some reason to do so. Monetary reasons?

This was a terrible example for you to use.

A friend of many decades is at a hospital in NOLA. Yesterday ER was full all day long, 2nd lining to get to the ER. None had symptoms. They got the rapid test (antibodies) and around 75% positive.

Probably there to get that negative with 72 hrs test to get into a public place


People are going to the ER just to get a test? Bunch of fools

How will R(t) be affected by the people getting tested solely to go about their lives? If there is a flood of testing coming from people that know they aren’t sick but need the (arbitrary) 72-hour test, will that dilute the case %s?
