Rutgers had a saliva test they developed too. I’m not sure why more federal dollars aren’t being pumped into research and development for this type of testing. It’s not all about a vaccine. There’s so much more we should be trying to do. Things like cruises and theme parks and colleges are places where you have a captive audience that could be tested regularly (daily) to ensure positive people are removed and isolated.
How long immunity lasts from infection has no bearing on the duration of vaccine-induced immunity.
So deaths are trending down. Hospitalizations are way down, never having overwhelmed hospitals. Deaths never approached the northeast numbers. Looks like the south, and Florida in particular, stared down Covid and came out ahead. It’s a nasty disease, and is uniquely nasty towards the elderly, but upending society was never the answer. Very thankful for Florida, very thankful for Arizona, very thankful for Texas, and Sweden. I pray we have learned our lessons. Though I doubt we have, if this thread is anything to go by.
It has upended society. Lots of people ended up being laid off anyways. Shutdown or not people are still choosing to stay in. Doing nothing or locking down which you are against has ended in the same result with people not working.
Since Texas, Arizona and Florida have mask requirements in all of the major population centers and each state has implemented a version of a bar ban and has also put further restrictions on indoor dining are you saying that the lessons learned are that masks, bar bans and significantly reduced indoor dining will lead to a reduction in cases? I sure hope you are right and we learned that lesson and it leads to a nationwide push to implement what appears to be very effective rules. I also hope this settles once and for all the ridiculous debate. These places had bars open, no masks and full indoor dining. Cases surged. Each state pulled back on bars and indoor dining and masks were implemented either statewide or at the local level and cases started to come down. Seems pretty easy to understand.
Yep, the problem is when people feel complacent. See what happened before this spike. If they go back to doing what they did before without modification we will be here again hoping for the end of the spike.
And Brazil? What are the lessons of Brazil?

I’m sorry....what’s a brazil? What can the sunbelt do for you?
The Sunbelt has the bestest T-cell cross reactive immunity.I’m sorry....what’s a brazil? What can the sunbelt do for you?
That’s rich. Those states are doing it right now? Good lord.
Be more specific. Brazil is HUGE. Is it similar to how the US has had two separate outbreaks delineated by geography? Or are you not really interested in what’s going on there?
You know the answer to these snarky questions. They are young healthy athletes. They don’t care about Covid19. And they shouldn’t.

It's been a little over two months since those touch-and-go days and Ahmad Ayyad still recovering. But he has a message -- for those who refuse to wear a mask during this pandemic, for those dismissive of public health guidance, for those in the prime of their health and feel invincible against...
There's more than one. Stop spreading misinformation.
Is anything I said not a fact? All of the states you listed made changes due to the surge in cases. All of them. Even FL. It’s a complete myth that they did nothing different and things just magically got better. It would make for a nice story, but it just didn’t happen.
