It's obvious that many do not read the numerous links I have posted.

To review:

CDC Director recently stated that there are 10 times more asymptomatics than confirmed positives tested. Other scientists think it could be 20 times.

New studies by scientists have discovered that large percentages of populations have T cell immunity to covid 19 from previous exposure to other coronaviruses like the common cold.

UK may already have enough herd immunity to prevent second coronavirus wave, say scientists

Yes antibodies fade with time, but your T and B cells retain memory of the virus and can produce new antibodies if they are needed. T cell memory of Sars 1 tested as effective 17 years after exposure. Antibodies don't need to last forever to stop a pandemic anyway, just a few months will do nicely.

SARS-CoV-2 infection induces robust, neutralizing antibody responses that are stable for at least three months | medRxiv

If you don't understand all the science, just look at graphs of deaths or cases in places like Sweden or New York. Only a small percentage of residents in each place tested positive but their graphs for deaths and cases look the same, rising up to a peak and then descending towards zero. Neither place has had a big surge in new cases. Why? It can't be lockdowns and masks because Sweden did neither. The only explanation is that a herd immunity threshold was reached in both places. There are other countries and states where you see the same thing.

Florida has had a big surge in cases because the threshold has not been met here yet. But it looks like the surge in new cases is starting a downward trend, just as I predicted at the beginning of July in another thread. If this downward trend in cases continues then the death totals will start to go down as well in a few weeks.

I always wonder whether the goal is to educate or show power. To further understanding or to be right.

I wonder this about posters and public figures on this issue.

I wish that the internet MSN News Feed did not FEED us opinion pieces, even from valid sources as headlines. I wish there was a clear distance between science and politics.

I wish all could see that we got another bug from that area which is gonna badly harm us. It requires a much more complicated vaccine. I don't know that anything other than our own individual choices can protect us. I don't know what will happen but it is NO hoax and no plot. It is a terrible killer with awful spikes all over it and it kills a lot of older people and harms a lot of younger people and there is no cure for it.
