a) your body can have b and t cells that fight virus instead of just antibodies b) scientist still don't know everything about immune response c) virus is obviously transmitting at fast pace if over 20 million or more might have already been infected in USA d) even if it mutated your immune system would still have partial defense. Isn't that what they always say about flu shots they get wrong every year? It might not match the top strains for year but if you do get the flu supposedly the effects are less or so they say e) I was just bsing around but what should have happened perhaps instead of nation wide lockdowns is we should have just let young people spread it among themselves and shipped all the old people to Antarctica or Greenland if pesky Denmark would have sold it to us |
c)
In Austria they have a town called Ischgl.
They anti body tested the entire town, and found 42,4% had anti bodies.
Out of these, only 15,5% bothered to get tested before (100% / 15,5% = ~6,5x).
This gives you a "general" idea of how high potentially the spread could be compaired to confirmed cases.
So in the USA there is likely less than 20m infected, if the virus there is acting like the one in austria did.
Going by the 6,5x factor, that means ~16m infected. Which is still aton more than the confirmed cases show (2,5m).
(~127k / 16m = 0.79 IFR)
d) Yeah partial defense, but you'll probably still see people getting bed ridden for a week or so, and some dieing again. Virus mutating and starting a new spread would be bad.
e) Lmao :D
Shipping everyone in the US over 60 to greenland. You would need to bring materials to build temporary houseing then.
