Is that a #SecondWave or a repost?

Repost I guess. I’ve seen that they were training dogs didn’t know it was actually being used.

I guess the world is slowly coming around to endorsing immunity passports as the most realistic way to return to some sort of normalcy.

Maybe I skimmed a little too fast, but what does this article have to do with immunity at all? The words antibody and immunity don't appear on the page at all.

I actually read the article and saw nothing regarding immunity so I'm not either sure what that comment means.

There would be incentive for people to willfully infect themselves to gain personal freedom, leading to herd immunity.

@aygart and @ExGingi have a long standing disagreement about this.

How though? They could just not get infected and have the same personal freedom, because they tested negative. There's nothing in the article about antibodies.

Anyways if it's debatable how long antibodies lasts, an immunity passport is of debatable value.

But I wouldn't call that an immunity passport, it seems to be mainly for the convenience of people testing in advance and showing their results, rather than testing on the spot and waiting for results.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

It would be really helpful if you would just say what you want to say, instead of trying to be cute.

Helpful has gone out the window in that particular debate.

I'm definitely not happy about the NYT article (dirty laundry shouldn't be publicized) and its anti chareidi tone. But the kugelreport "rebuttal" is just gaslighting.

Rosner is part of JPPI which has a telling bio. He used to write for Ha'aretz and he published a book entitled "Shtetl Bagel Baseball, on the Wonderful Dreadful State of American Jews”

No wonder the Times picked up his slandertorial.
