Coronavirus Thread V: A Shot in the Arm (READ OP)

[Neutraligon]

So advisors to the UK government are saying those who've contracted the virus and recovered should be exempt from any quarantine rules in order to allow the economy to open up. It'd be an ok idea if we didn't live in a world where hordes of people would rush out to get infected so they can gain exemption.

Basically it's punishing people for being responsible.

I mean, I believe people have been reinfected so that just means that they will get sick again right?

While all statements have to be predicated with a very big caveat that A) I am not a professional virologist or epidemiologist (it's just a hobby), and B) we don't know the long-term behavior of this virus yet, and probably won't with confidence for at least a couple years:

Almost all of the incidences of "tested positive after testing negative" phenomenon occurred in the days-to-weeks time-frame. The lack of examples of weeks-to-months reinfections indicates that those people were probably just not completely over the virus, and were not reinfected.

I agree with this because If it is true reinfection is possible that would mean it’s unlike any other virus known to exist

Not sure where you heard that. There are several viruses that are known to reinfect people without mutation. Influenza is the most common one, which is one of the challenges with creating a flu vaccine. Hepatitis is another.

This is not to be confused with viruses like the Herpes or Papilloma viruses, which can lie dormant in your body for years or even decades, before resurfacing. That's a whole different thing.

Cold viruses.

Cold viruses.

I don't know of any confirmed cases of that. The normal trajectory for a cold virus is to infect a patient again through a long string of mutation, which causes the immune system not to recognize it. In effect it is a different virus altogether. This is not the same as what we're talking about.

If covid were demonstrated to have this ability, then cold viruses would be a good example, as coronaviruses are a type of cold virus.

Imagine if other pandemics had such a strong response by idiots. I'm beginning to think "Covid denial" as I call it is nature making sure modern science doesn't get in the way of thinning the herd.

Or anti-vax, or anti-5G. All modern forms of delusion which any sufferer of would previously have keep as a shameful secret.

Now we're got the internet. And a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

They had. "We must not reject the will of God", "we are being punished for our sins", "we must all cover ourselves in poop to keep the demons away" etc.

Don't need Ebola. If regular smallpox returned and people reacted like this soon enough the only people alive in the United States would be members of the US Armed Forces with their mandatory vaccinations.

I know. But here in the U.S. covidiots are behaving in the same barbaric way.

Hell, a man with an AK-47 shot at cops after he didn't want to wear a mask. Not to mention numerous employees who have gotten abused (verbally and physically) by these types of people.

I was vaccinated at least once for smallpox. Does it need booster shots?

I think smallpox immunity is lifelong?

I thought so, but I remember getting one and I certainly don't remember anything from before I was 3. So I must have had it twice?

I got taken on lots of foreign holidays as a child. The only bad thing about that: shots every time. One time, quinine pills yuck!

I did a blood test recently and according to my report, my Hep A antibodies have more or less vanished. I had to get re-vaccinated and plan to get my booster shot a couple months from now.

I thought smallpox was eradicated in the wild way back in the '70s?

It is eradicated from the wild. All it would take would be for some idiot to make an error with vile and it's reintroduced to the world

...the point being?

He said that lockdowns decreased cases. In actuality, during the lock down they increased by thousands of times. Not all of the cases were from early surges pre-national shutdown.

Yeah, no.

Yes I have no doubt that it'd lead to a rise in Coronavirus parties, similar to the Chickenpox party. Someone hasn't thought this through.
