A Third of Street Covid-19 Testing Are Positive in Chelsea

[Bt1 5,213]

There are a lot of studies that say that many more people had the virus, but had little or no symptoms. This is good. It means that the virus is less deadly that it was believed. It could also mean that the "herd immunity" is closer.

Luckily we took some measures, but based on the data deaths per day are still not going down. Minus the weekends because the data is always underreported. But we probably won't see a real decline until we hit at least 50k. And then there's the whole trip down from there. The 60k deaths number the WH put out isn't looking quite accurate. Shocking...

Was the 60k by August? It's very off. We could easily reach 60k by mid-May.

And this is why I ain't leaving my apartment. And Chelsea is only crosstown from here, I wonder what it would look like in my neighbourhood.

I think so. It was originally the 100-200k number from Trump. Then Fauci revised to 60k. But yea, we're headed for more. And we still don't know what will happen in the Fall.

Apparently people who developed antibodies can get infected a second time, new cases in South Korea appear to come from people who've already been infected once.

So the immunity people develop against the covid19 seems to last only for a while

 

Some Docs on CNN were discussing this and they suspected it probably was faulty testing. A false negative and later tested positive.

A good positive thing is that means that the mortality is way lower. But also that it circulated more in the community which on the brightside, could also mean that some territories are closer to herd immunity. 

People can get reinfected as it has happened already, tho apparently it's bad testing and not actually a re-infection.

"For now, the most likely explanation of why people are retesting positive seems to be that the test is picking up remnants of the virus. 

The KCDC has re-investigated three cases from the same family where patients tested positive after recovering, Kwon says.

In each of these cases, scientists tried to incubate the virus but weren't able to -- that told them there was no live virus present."

Jury's still out on that.
