Hope it all works out for them

Isn’t Sweden doing the herd immunity strategy? Basically just not shutting down anything and waiting for everyone to get it, recover, and become immune to it?

Isn’t Sweden being pointed out as a positive on handling this situation?  Pffft

And BTW, fuck China. 

^^ yes

\I personally know someone who does because of COPD and know another person who does it from time to time (possibly during the worst pollen times of the year?) and that's just in my really tiny circle of people I know that I've seen mow their grass.

 

Yeah, but are you half a century old?

Exactly.....some people dont get it

No, we do get it. 
 

If that’s what you meant, then make your fingers type “dy-no-mite” like what is in the gif of justin’s response. 
 

And then proofread before punching send.  
 

And do that for all your posts. 
 

Yeah, especially since you used it in the dynamite drop in Monty from Major League, where he did not say it like dy-no-mite.  You’re an idiot CC

Yeah. From the sounds of it they’re doing the “you’re on your own, strongest will survive” strategy. They obviously don’t want to strain their healthcare industry or economy.

Any way to add validity to this other than anecdote?

Risky strategy as there's no conclusive evidence of having it = future immunity.

I don’t know. I guess you could buy a plane ticket and travel there and find out?

It’s about a week old, but that tells you what’s happening there. It’s not working.

Anyone fly recently during this mess?

Strongly considering going to my sisters in Denver to work remotely for a few weeks. 

I'm going to wait a bit to book to see how state opening and flying during this time pans out.

Doesn't refute my point. At all.

Was just going to say that. There’s been no confirmation that once you get covid and “beat” it, that it can’t come back later on. 

Aren’t coronaviruses  known for not having long lasting antibodies?

Schwan’s take on immunity to Covid-19 came after South Korean scientists concluded it was impossible for the virus to reinfect humans.

There had been concern that people were appearing to fall ill with the coronavirus a second time in Japan, China and South Korea — but researchers from the South Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said last week that this phenomenon had resulted from testing failures.

A well known pediatrician in Wilmington Ohio (age 60) contracted the virus and was on vent for a few days and did NOT look like he was going to make it. Few days later he was taken off vent and talking and couple days later released.......a week later he could only take a few steps without being winded. Back to ER and admitted again and vent again for 2 days......still in hospital 2 weeks later

I read the South Korean doctors report. It didn’t say it was impossible that the virus couldn’t return to the system down the road. 

No one knows for certain yet.

I wonder in these cases where someone has seemed to get COVID a second time if it's really a case that they hadn't never gotten over their original infection.
