There's more to come on antibodies.

Apr 28, 2020, 1:40 PM

Don't think it's a guaranteed blanket solution. Research to date shows this to be akin to MERS and not SARS when it comes to antibodies. In the MERS scenario, asymptomatic people (and very mild cases), who had antibodies, had minimal protection from them and they lasted 1-2 months, tops and they were just as prone as anyone to reinfection after 1-2 months. Reinfections are happening frequently in China now fwiw. People who tested positive, recovered, tested negative, tested positive for antibodies, and now are testing positive all over again. Only severe MERS cases (ICU and survived) had strong antibodies that lasted more than 18 months. If we have a ton of asymptomatic or very mildly ill carriers, the less likely antibody presence will make a difference in the disease, especially if antibody levels and longevity are dependent on the severity of the illness (like MERS).

The research is out there if you care to dig. The WHO says, to date, there's no evidence to support antibody presence will stop the disease or provide lasting immunity. They're saying that because there IS evidence to date showing the opposite.

intact and capable of infecting people. Yall laughed at me, I know. But this is the big hidden story. This has been known for a long time now. You can walk in an enclosed room that someone who had it walked into 30 minutes earlier, and be exposed. It's been proven, and this isn't the first study to document that. 6 feet is BS.

The next story that will eventually emerge is this is 3-4 times more infectious than the flu. r0 is north of 5, more than double what everyone has said to date. Eventually that will become knowledge when people need to know I guess. Spain is the latest country, BTW, to spray disinfectant aerosols over urban areas. There's a reason they're doing it. It will likely be done here as well.

here is an idea. if you are terrified of a germ, stay in moms basement. but let the rest of us get on with our lives.
