Default 3 reports of good news re: coronavirus

1. Virtually everyone who recovers from the disease produces antibodies within 3 weeks and epidemiologists are confident this will provide immunity from the disease (time undetermined at this point)

After Recovery From the Coronavirus, Most People Carry Antibodies - The New York Times

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...613v1.full.pdf

2. Another part of the same study found that the “reinfected” patients in Asia probably weren’t reinfected at all. People who were still testing positive weeks after recovery likely didn’t have any live virus left in their system; what was being picked up in testing were the remnants of dead virus whose genome was still present. Researchers in South Korea who conducted a separate study came to that conclusion as well.


3. Daily positive cases of covid19 as a percent of total daily tests continues to fall nationally, a very good sign as covid testing expands. Declining positivity could be a leading indicator of an epidemic starting to decline. 10% is still high but it's coming down at a steady pace.
