So now the million dollar question is whether these antibodies protect them from this in the future.

They won't. This virus obviously isn't like others

Governor Cuomo just posted a slide during today's COVID press conference showing recent anti-body findings conducted in the state of NY.

Long Island = 16.7%
NYC = 21.2%
Westchester/Rockland = 11.7%
Rest of State = 3.6%

Millions had it. Millions recovered. Mortality rate may be equal to or less than seasonal flu based on these findings. Math now suggesting a CFR of around 0.25-.40%.

https://imgur.com/a/7VUBgPX.jpg

I'm not sure I buy it. It's very possible that most of those are false positives. Low prevalance in the general population = low positive predictive value = lots of false positives. But it's definitely more widespread than our numbers had shown.

My guess about smokers not being diagnosed with covid-19 is that they die so fast that they are dead before there is a "need" to test them.

"Intermittent distancing may be required into 2022 unless critical care capacity is increased substantially or a treatment or vaccine becomes available," they wrote in their report.

I mean, that's not too surprising. Ease off the restrictions, but if things look like they're taking a turn for the worse then you put them back in place.

2 months on 2 months off wouldn't be so bad after doing it a couple times, if they could guarantee stimulus checks for everyone during the two months off.

We should social distance for the rest of time. It's great for health and the environment. We don't need to be in each other's business to run an economy. But we're going to be too stupid to learn from this pandemic, rather than just learn how to beat it.

So you're advocating getting rid of concerts, festivals, sporting events, etc? Hell naw. But I do agree we should all be more cognizant about hygiene and spreading germs.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/

Looks like their new cases and deaths per day have dropped quite a bit. They now have more recoveries per day than new cases. Seems like they've done a pretty good job.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

When you compare Italy's graphs to those of the US, it's pretty depressing. Our new cases/day are decreasing at a MUCH slower rate, and deaths haven't really started decreasing at all yet.

Those are some of the nastiest, most invasive social events out there. We don't need a bunch of disgusting slobs breathing on us to experience sports or music. I don't see those things realistically going away, but we could do so much in our society to be cleaner and more courteous.

So, I'm not necessarily complaining, but I'm more just confused about this... I've been furloughed from work for a few weeks due to COVID-19, and I was able to successfully apply for unemployment, and I've been getting about $250 each week. But between today and yesterday, not only did I get my normal amount, but they also deposited two separate extra payments of about $1000 and $500 into my bank account. o_O
