Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

If one percent have ever contracted this in the US, that same one percent is unlikely statistically to be infected again (aside from high risk exposures), even with zero immunity.

T-cells and cytokine explosions, very important.

but its high risk exposures Im taking into consideration

out of 4,000,000 how many high risk situations do you figure these folks put themselves into

theres no reason to think that they wouldnt do that again especially in light of the fact many believe you cant catch it twice

I don't know, I'm just thinking about the straight statistics in the simplest case.

And I think you have decent immunity for 3-4 months, antibodies, and then perhaps T cell immunity longer than that.

I think thats a valid assumption

Not trying to joist with you but how can you explain the fact that weve heard almost nothing on getting reinfected

Time. 

Once again, you seem to be in a hurry, while the virus moves at its own pace.  There is no history to study.  You're wanting/expecting stuff from the future (doesn't exist yet) and then making declarations based on the lack of info.  

Over and over and over.

I keep wondering at this point what can be done realistically, and I don't have much, a few obvious things, but at the national level, I don't have much.

Push vaccine work, obviously.  Encourage mask wearing.  Allow governors to make their own decisions about bars and schools and etc., I think.  The thing still seems out of control in some places, like hereabouts, and another shut down, to me, seems impracticable.

7 day average for cases is going down in Florida, but the deaths are going up. In the past two weeks, the rate of case doubling has gone from 15 days, to 23.

Have any of you knuckleheads gotten tested for the China virus or antibodies? If not, WHY not??

I am a knucklehead. I have not been tested. I have been asymptomatic. I have been keeping distance from others. Our 25-year old daughter in grad school is home for the summer; just finished a PT internship where she probably encountered 12 people daily. She is our vector, but she wore a mask, and almost all patients did, except those with COPD or something of that nature. I am in a rural county. I think I am good. The #s here are rising, 3 currently hospitalized in our county of 18,000, and 71 tested positive throughout the pandemic. I had a few clients who had exposures to others who tested positive in my office. On those occasions, we all wore masks, as well as on other occasions I have worn a mask to greet someone here in my office. I am by appointment only. The front door is locked. 

I wear a mask in stores, and I rarely do go to a store. I do not do indoor dining.

This is why I have not tested, in addition to the fact we have no public testing site in this town of 5,000.

The governor reduced testing at a public drive up testing site in Dubuque, 45-miles east, claiming there were issues regarding quality - the only quality reason I heard was concerning long testing lines. There are surging #s in Dubuque, so there are suspicions that testing at that site is limited to 100 per day by the governor because of surging #s. Who knows?
