Way to go NBC…

I hope that’s just a testing glitch. Nasty, considering the number of people who are released without any testing after their symptoms are gone.

Newspaper reports of Covid patients testing negative and then getting reinfected have been popping up since January.

I’m sorry now that I didn’t bookmark the links, but I’ve seen maybe 6 different reports. One of them stated that 14% of patients were reinfected. I think a more recent one was 30 - 60%.

We “took the plunge”. Takes a little getting used to, but so far so good. We’ll see: might be a little chill in midwinter, but I’m more worried about what it’s going to be like when the temperature in our attic (where the pipes are) tops 130°…

The problem is it’s still unclear whether it is reinfection, the virus going down to levels too low to test and making a resurgence, or other issues with testing. (None of which are really good things.)

There has been some initial reporting too of lower antibody levels than one would expect in cases in China, when later testing was done.

All of this, is from preliminary, and on the fly observations, and not studies.

You need to be flush first, make sure you have enough liquefied assets before you wipe out.

Another bit of research shows some interesting correlations:

TL:DR- Patients with type O blood seem less susceptible to the virus. Note this is a pre-print, so hasn’t been peer reviewed, and is based only on Patients in China from the early stages of the outbreak.

Red Dawn — a nod to the 1984 film with Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen

Where, if I understand the plot correctly, a feckless American President basically hands the country over to Russia.

There probably should be a separate thread that just covers Texas stupidity re COVID-19.

I doubt it’ll shift the hardcore, but hopefully the people who listen to them will think again.
