Not done in Illinois until 09/30. So, I won't turn off the lights when I leave in two days, but I certainly will on 10/01.

The House Speaker thinks people who are leaving Illinois in droves are just socially distancing.
A wonderful thing about federalism is that people can vote with their feet and still remain Americans.

From what I've read, you get immunity for a year or three to that specific type of flu, which is why the vaccine is reasonably effective.

Influenza types bounce around each year so they use a different vaccine each year to manage the 2-3-4 most prevalent types detected in China early in the year.

If they guess right, the vaccine works pretty well.

But if you come down with H1N1 and later are infected with H3N2, you will get sick.

Why China?  Is there something about China and flu?  Or is there something about the CCP and flu?

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

are we testing for antibodies anywhere besides NY and California
Probably.

I was just reading an article in which they are actually trying to figure out a way to test wastewater for coronavirus to get an early indication of new infections and to possibly estimate how many people have the disease.

Iowa has been doing some antibody testing since the 15th, but I'm not sure if it's large scale
started at U of Iowa hospitals
a pharmacy near Des Moines was trying to be approved for testing by the Feds

Yeah actually I know there's at least SOME antibody testing in Chicago because there's a doc on surlyhorns that's been tested (he tested positive with never feeling any symptoms at all, FWIW).

Yeah @longhorn320 I almost replied to your post, but I was just going to say that I wasn't aware of any outside of NY and CA, but that my lack of awareness shouldn't be taken as gospel.

Sounds like from other posters there might be some additional antibody testing going on. 

Hopefully we'll start seeing a lot more of it, so we can get a clearer picture of the spread of this thing and its true mortality rate.
