Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Startling headline...until you see this paragraph nestled in the article.

"Most people who are infected with COVID-19 will develop antibody responses that will provide "some level of protection," it later clarified, but it does not yet know what that level is or how long the immunity will last."

Exactly.

I agree with WHO and the rest of the scientific community. If you want to refute them, give it your best scientific shot.

What do you agree with? They basically stated might and might not..... sounds like they don’t know.

 

[BisonVol]

Exactly.

That's not exactly breaking news. Of course they don't know "for sure" yet

 

[McDad]

I still have a little, not much, hope there are still traditional conservatives out there. Based on the poll numbers alone, that doesn't seems to be the case though. I dare say "conservatives" couldn't articulate the Republican platform other than "but Hillary, Obama, and the deep state".

Sounds like the anyone but Trump battlecry we see here a lot. I wonder, is there any return from this point in politics where we don't vote for our person as much as we vote against their person.

Lol you are the poster child for this chart

You and the WHO. Powerful combo. Mickey Mouse is currently needing some work also.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Yeah I agree.... I was joking about those patients being retroactively claimed as covid patients.

I musta checked out of my sense of humor yesterday.. Totally missed that .

The WHO is a giant, corrupt, cluster f@#k. They dropped the ball on this in the beginning when they told us we shouldn't have shut down travel, etc. China lied and the WHO helped them, how come it was forbidden for Chinese to travel within their country but they could still leave the country when all this broke out?

Its possible for all three things to be true:

1) China was too secretive;

2) The WHO was too mild in pressing China;

3) Trump, fearing the consequences to his reelection, minimized the risk and was slow to react.


You can debate the percentages each role played, but in each case there was a failure to step up and deal with it.

You're the one that highlighted it as a gotcha but according to the other posters the scientific community is FOS and not to be trusted. Seems like that is the camp you're in.

Bingo. It was a nothing article with an 'oh crap' headline designed to get clicks.

Is there more to the Democrat platform than "muh Trump"? If so, I haven't seen it.

Oh yeah, plenty. Kid Touching. Dentures. Dementia. Legit sexual assault.

Oh yea, your other failing president Obummer waited nine months to respond, while people were dying.

Yeah I agree.... all these nonsense articles make it hard to find real information.

How do we go from talking about how F'd up the WHO is to immediately but Trump is bad.

WHO really knocked it out of the park with that whole no evidence of human to human transmission right? You still agreeing with that?

Oh, evidence below since you probably conveniently forgot about this:

Because LG is a lunatic.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Can someone please post the study the WHO released back in December saying there are NO BENEFITS to social distancing

 

[FLVOL_79]

WHO put out there that there is no proof that you have immunity but also no proof that you don’t get immunity..... Absolutely brilliant analysis from the world health organization.

Never question science! Its infallible. Always has been, always will be.

 

[Mick]

Yeah I agree.... all these nonsense articles make it hard to find real information.

That is the nuts and bolts of the situation with antibodies and immunity. Apparently the Republicans are putting all their eggs in herd immunity which means that 65%+ would have to actually get the virus and produce their own antibodies. You went out of your way to attack WHO like a good little sheep though.

Someone on here yesterday said that vote for Ivanka simply because she isn’t a Dem, so you’re exactly right.

What science in that article do you agree with? All that was in the article was the WHO saying 'you should get some level of immunity, but we don't know how much or how long it lasts yet'. Really fantastic science by the WHO.

That article was just a frightening, click bait headline accompanied by little to no actual information.

WHO warns there's no evidence of coronavirus immunity as global death toll reaches 200,000

We have something called memory cells in our bodies. They store receptor information for what we've had in the past. I have no doubt since I was around covid19 pts in Jan-April and I'm a presumptive positive that I've got memory cells waiting to produce cells that will fight covid19.
I'm absolutely not worried about a second phase.
