… that's what this blood plasma story is really about; a dry run for Trump's vaccine hoax. There is no way you are going to get one legitimately by early November - completed phase 3 of 30,000 person study. End of year maybe.

Re: All things Chinese CoronaVirus
You mean something like this:
The Trump administration is considering bypassing normal US regulatory standards to fast-track an experimental coronavirus vaccine from the UK for use in America ahead of the presidential election, according to three people briefed on the plan.

You also missed a key point ... the second infection was caused by a different variant of the novel coronavirus. Same virus, different variant. That is definitely bad.
Public health officials were hoping that long-term immunity would be possible with the Covid-19 virus (as it was with SARS and MERS). Such long-term immunity was key to getting those earlier pandemics under control. More and more, that does not seem likely with the novel coronavirus. In other words, the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is not like other viruses.
There is also another sickness involved here ... a repugnant and dishonest effort to portray SARS-CoV-2 as just another strain of coronavirus.
WRONG ... we’re well on our way to a million worldwide deaths despite the most extreme infection mitigation efforts in over a century (plus, modern medicine and technology). There will likely be a quarter million dead Americans by the end of the year. THAT is nothing like other recent coronaviruses. To say otherwise is disrespectful, dishonest, and ignorant.

For example:

https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/870592_3
Long-term immunity could also increase the chances of developing an effective vaccine that provides long-term protection, although that is not always possible with these viruses.
If the immunity period for SARS-CoV-2 is as short as several months, which early research is suggesting, that will make it much more difficult to stop the spread of the virus and to develop a vaccine that provides long-term protection.
Hope that answers your (good) question.

Re: All things Chinese CoronaVirus
More likely the Brits will have something believable by election time, but it will not have the mandated phase 3 of 30,000 persons. They will have 10K.
Of course by election time you will have a dozen companies all swearing they have something that works with zero or at best very limited evidence. No where near a completed phase 3 showing success.

Second, the answer to your question can be derived from the well-known adage that there is no “cure” for the common cold. Not a perfect analogy, since there are so many viruses that can cause a “cold”, but a major factor is that infection with a “cold” virus (sometimes a member of the coronavirus family) only confers a few months immunity, if even that.
SARS-CoV-2 is not like other deadly viruses. It combines the lethality of some viruses, with the easy transmissibility of others, along with the short immunity of “cold” viruses. That is a deadly combination.
To use a baseball comparison, SARS-CoV-2 is that rare virus that can hit for average, hit for power, run the bases with speed, field like a gold glover, is durable, and plays second base or shortstop ... a once-in-a-lifetime threat.

Much more likely is that Swedes eventually just got serious about SD like everyone else in Europe did. While Sweden didn't issue lock down orders, the Swedes did their lock down by following recommendations.
So it is somewhat of a myth that the Swedes were letting it rip the whole time (they weren't). And that they got bailed out by herd immunity.

you also can't admit you made a mistake. long term immunity had absolutely nothing to do with the dissolution of those pandemics. how could it?
or explain how the long term immunity (years into the future?) in a few hundred cases (or more, if you prefer) was key to containing the outbreak. i am interested.
and no worries... i already know how to get into hahvahd.

Re: All things Chinese CoronaVirus
IMO, the Euros (including Sweden) have simply done a better job than the USA in bending the curve down to a lower level through more rigorous SD.So if we are going to praise another country for doing "it" right, what did they do so they will not get it again and can get back to normal?
And if the virus is down at a lower level, it is easier to manage and contain a small problem vs. a large problem. Your testing capacity goes further if virus levels are lower. Your contact tracing capacity goes further if virus levels are lower.
And when the virus is down at a lower level, you can do more normal things. The Euros are now allowed to travel between countries in the Euro zone. But the Euros currently ban the Americans from entering.
But I don't think anyone has herd immunity or a guarantee that the virus isn't flaring back up. Everyone is just managing until there's a treatment/vaccine.
Boycott stupid. Country over party.

stop with the condescension. it's tiring. i jumped in bc you went full flame on someone. i don't like bullies, moved around a lot as a kid and dealt with them.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 8:00 pmLearn ... and then come back for a conversation.wgdsr wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 7:51 pm doc,
you can't help your condescending nature.
you also can't admit you made a mistake. long term immunity had absolutely nothing to do with the dissolution of those pandemics. how could it?
or explain how the long term immunity (years into the future?) in a few hundred cases (or more, if you prefer) was key to containing the outbreak. i am interested.
and no worries... i already know how to get into hahvahd.

but i asked for an honest answer. you won't provide one. anyone that can read can see that. professor.

I took time out from a busy day to post detailed responses to your questions. You, in contrast, seemed more interested in an argument.wgdsr wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 8:08 pmstop with the condescension. it's tiring. i jumped in bc you went full flame on someone. i don't like bullies, moved around a lot as a kid and dealt with them.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 8:00 pmLearn ... and then come back for a conversation.wgdsr wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 7:51 pm doc,

Re: All things CoronaVirus
lol. just one question. again, i asked you honestly to explain this theory. none of which is supported by the cdc, the who, or any of a half dozen other science journals that i called up. not to mention it being illogical.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 9:10 pmI took time out from a busy day to post detailed responses to your questions.

all bc you decided to be a bully. but you won't do it.
p.s. it's documented those 2 diseases confer long term immunity. what's not documented (that i'm aware of) is how that stopped those pandemics. which you did not address. happy to learn when you have the time, padre.
not looking for an argument. your perspective. how is it that long term immunity stopped those pandemics?
the people infected wouldn't infect others years later or get infected themselves years later? that's what stopped it? a global pandemic... several thousand or several hundred people's lt immunity years after they recovered? preach. on a vaca day, between briefs, or whenever.
