There are no studies on this yet because it's a bit unethical to expose people to a live virus fir which there's no cure. The anecdotal evidence is overwhelming though, especially when you look at cases that come from confined spaces, such as ships, nursing homes, meatpacking, prisons & large families living together.

The data is out there if you weren't lazy. Start with the basics that <20 yr olds are 50% less likely to get infected. Not be asymptomatic, but not susceptible to get the virus in the first place. So please tell me why 20% natural resistance across the population is out of whack?

It wasn't a wild tangent. Let's replay for the ######ed. Using CDC data that over 20% of the US was already infected (real number likely higher), and estimates that 20%-30% could be naturally resistant, gets you very close to herd immunity. Which is fully supported by a near full stop of the spread in ALL early hard- hit areas.

Do you even bother comprehending what you post. Here's the operative statement: To reach herd immunity for COVID-19, likely 70% or more of the population would need to be immune. That includes people who were infected or are immune from the get go.

Good move by Abbott to slow down the reopening by cutting back on social activities. Based on precedent, they will hit a peak 2-3 weeks from now, and can resume after that.

Don't know how that would be reflected in the statistics. Assuming that if you had been negative before, but will no show positive for antibodies, you will be a new case. The point is that Mayo is saying that herd immunity is achieved after 70% of the people were infected, as opposed to being exposed to the virus.

Read their guidance for yourself. The specifically state "infected", while most academic articles discuss "exposure" Two different animals

Why aren't they differentiating exposure and infections?

Who was mostly responsible for the largest number of deaths?

I don't run to mommy for help

Sounds like a threat. Question, which one of us falls under this TSW guideline? "Personal "crusades" (posting the same information/opinion in an excessively repetitive manner. We want posters to share opinions not bludgeon others to death with them.)"

Still waiting for the Hasid funeral apocalypse. Any day now.

So you don't disagree that your goal is to stoke conflict?

Then why are they conflating infections with exposure? Get your Jergens ready

There are mass graves all over the world because of people like you.

You are not a good human being.

I don't know what's more disturbing, the threat to kill anyone white or using Haiti as an example to follow in anything?

Did the Natalie Wood doc prompt this?

That 70% figure is part of the panic porn, because they represent it as the number of people who were infected by the virus, as opposed to the number of people who have been exposed to the virus. There is a good number of people who may be naturally resistant to the virus in the first place, which is proven by less than 100% infection rates of immediate family members. So if you look at the recent estimates that up to 30% of people in highly infected areas had the virus, and apply a similar percentage to people who were exposed, but didn't contract it (ie almost everyone under 20), then you can easily get to 60% exposure to the virus in the last 6 months. The anecdotal evidence proves it by the almost complete elimination of the spread in regions that got hard hit in Feb - April.

Meanwhile, back in the funhouse, the mullahs are getting pushed back.

And you can state this definitively, because ...???

Which is a can of worms nobody on the left wants to talk about.

On a per 1K basis, and taking account of size, US is #4 in testing for a country >40 million. I'm guessing it will move to #1 soon, as more people in CA, FL and TX get tested

No specifics, just more of the same talk over 50 years.

As opposed to the last 50 years of social programs and taxing the wealthy & big corporations? I know it's asking a lot of a Jet fan, but can you provide a tad more detail on what these programs will do and how they will do it?
