US had over 1000 confirmed deaths yesterday.

The Covid-19 situation has seriously gone to shit in Romania in the last month or so, went from almost under 100 cases in early June to possibly over 1000 in the following days. It really doesn't help that many here can't even be bothered to wear a mask in indoors places and in public transport, when it really shouldn't be that much of a problem.

For diplomatic reasons,why would they want enemies so closeby ?

Same as why Europe exists after hundreds years of war against eachother,and trade ofcourse.

A study published today in Nature shows T-cell activation is present in all individuals even seventeen years after SARS-CoV infection.

It seems increasingly doubtful people will need more than one shot of the vaccine or one infection, even after sterilizing immunity is gone after a year or so (which some people naïvely confound with immunity as a whole as evidenced... here and there).

Then it'll just be another common cold if it's still symptomatic at all (which maybe it won't be, since cellular immune cross-reaction to other coronaviruses seem to be able to effectively purge SARS-CoV-2 with mild to no symptoms already).

Edit - as a side note, I'm convinced there must be some reaaally massive immune cross reaction with other or others, as of yet unidentified, betacoronavirus(es) in eastern and specially southeastern Asia. Cultural differences and mask wearing in no way can be responsible for the difference force of infection we're seeing between various places in the world, given the H1N1 experience.

And over 1000 deaths, first time since  June 9 that this bar has been passed.

Not sure about any of the T-cell stuff.... but I've read that Antibody levels peak about 3weeks-1month after infection, and slowly drop off.
Usually within 3-4 months the anti body levels are so low, you arn't really protected anymore.

Also theres stories of people getting reinfected.
Not just the false positives, retested and found because of a faulty test picking up on dead virus cells in the blood stream.

Actual 2nd time infections (so far it appears rare) however its possible to get coronavirus a 2nd time.
Also the in one case, the person that got the 2nd time, had it worse than the first time they got sick.

This kinda goes against what your saying, about 17 years of immunity and whatnot.

Dont worry, soon the reported data wont go to the CDC anymore, but though the whitehouse administration insteada to HHS? I think its called.
(outsides of public rearch)

After that, you ll see numbers reported drop and magically go away.... and everything will be fine, because Trump says so.
The US will be saved from that terrible virus, and Trump can have is "mission accomplished" moment.

Just keep your eyes off of those refrigerated trucks running to the hospitals, they arn't important.

The re-opening of schools is up to the local jurisdictions.

Not sure where you get your information that nobody is sharing infos about vaccines. We are not even at a point where we could produce one so how in the world is it justified to spy on anyone? Also, hell yes, we can blame Russia. They have no friends because they've been complete assholes to everyone for the past decades.

Your support for a criminal country doing criminal things feels really weird and misplaced here.

Ok, so you want people to do things a certain way because of covid, that will benefit you so you can keep doing what you're doing, and that's what gives you the moral high ground?

All people are not the same. For all you know, I may be asymptomatic, or may have antibodies, so others 'doing their part', may be a complete waste of their time. In fact, the poorer communication with other employees or customers could very well create problems, because at times, it does. Do you risk removing masks to make sure vital information is crystal clear, potentially spreading or contracting the illness, or do you waste precious time, or hope for the best and potentially get someone inured or killed because something wasn't comprehensible?

If I said all drivers of the general public should pull off to the side of the road for me when on my way to a potentially life threatening emergency call, would that be a reasonable and justifiable request? By doing so, would that now give me higher moral standards, because I'm willing to inconvenience all those drivers for someone else's good, potentially helping to save lives? Would it really be much of an inconvenience at all? Why isn't that a thing then if what I do is so essential? If shutting power down to others in the area is a justified inconvenience to complete the work, why not drivers on the way to the outage?

If I don't personally choose to function at that essential work for whatever reason, then the work doesn't get done, and people don't receive those services, so personal opinions and choices do matter. If I'm willing to do the job regardless of whether or not others are masked up etc, does this put me higher or lower on the morality scale?

If a qualified leader were to tell the public not to bother wearing masks, because unknowingly to the public, there was a shortage and some health care workers were more at risk at work, would that leader have the moral high ground? What if just one citizen died, because they thought it made sense to wear a mask, but took that professional leaders advice/opinion not to instead, contracting the illness by inhaling it? In this situation, which happened in the US, an all lives matter equally approach could not be taken, unless the leadership wanted to leave life and death up to chance. The lock down itself led to other non covid related death. Once you've made the choice to choose what's best for everyone, you've already lost, because you will always be favoring some lives over others. That's why people need to be free to choose as much as reasonably possible.
