I have 2 completely unrelated points that I don't think were mentioned yet.

1) If antibodies doesn't mean immunity, then what's the long term plan? If there is no immunity with antibodies a vaccine is worthless.

2) I think we have to stop looking at lockdown as the status quo and instead look at it that every day that the lockdown continues we are making a conscious decision to shut down the country.

1) - was mentioned a bunch of times. Until now every patient treated was a guinea pig in the name of science. Until they understand more about the disease they will never be able to treat it properly, and the mortality rate of those hospitalized remains astonishingly high. We need to be able to bring that down, and that’s something that buying time is and should be benefitting us greatly. It’s very disturbing to have this many people dying in our hospitals for sheer lack of medical knowledge, when weeks or months can make the difference. Also, studying transmission can also help us understand and adopt stricter practices to prevent transmission and abandon the restrictions on actions that are not aiding in transmission anyway.

Furthermore, I’m no epidemiologist and don’t know if what you’re saying is necessarily true, but I think nearly all doctors at this point believe antibodies confer at least some type of immunity. The question is more about how effective they are and how long they last, with a very distant outlier possibility of them not working at all.

2) Agreed, the CBA seems to be moving towards opening much of the economy despite some people inevitably dying. Not from a religious perspective necessarily but from a government perspective. That’s with strict regulations, of course.

Of the 95% under 40, whats the percentage that have a BMI of over 25, or even 30?
In our community, unfortunately very high.

What’s the estimated mortality of under 40s with BMIs over 25?

People who are overweight and people with 'blood sugar issues' are at risk of getting really sick if they get covid.
Those who are obese and have a high A1C even more so.  Although it may only be that the A1C is likely to be high in obese individuals.

There seems to be a pattern with these nutcases.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/vegas-mayor-faces-recall-after-offering-city-as-coronavirus-control-group/ar-BB13LKMw?li=BBnb7Kz

"Doug Polk, a former professional poker player, has taken the first step to starting a recall petition that could oust Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman after she offered her city up as a "control group" to see if quickly reopening businesses would result in new coronavirus infections"

Does anyone believe otherwise?

A family member passed away this past Thursday night all alone in the Hospital, which was very sad. We had a Levaya Friday on Long Island, New York. Some of the things I noticed were 2 funerals on the highway going out to the Cemeteries, Funeral going on in the cemetery and the cemetery was full of fresh dug graves. It is very important to be careful and watch your self during this Pandemic. I would like to thank @Dan for setting up this forum and for all the other good things he has done. Through this Forum I was contacted by one of the forum members @Yochi who tried to help us in the Hospital

About 1,000 blood samples were collected and sent to be tested. Bikur Cholim said that at least 800 of those came back positive.

(This should probably go in some other thread(s), but can't determine which one and am posting here in the catch-all thread.)

Just don’t try to use it to prove antibody levels in the broader community. They only tested people who opted in and had symptoms. It’s not a representative sample

Also, a very large portion (most?) actually had a positive test.
