I'm in Sweden and the general consensus is to stick our head in the sand. I'm fairly worried as well, considering it seems most people go about their business as usual. A lot of us have been given the option to work from home though, so at least that's something.

 

Just stocked up on Jasmin tea and instant ramen, enough for a month. Get the spicy ramen, they give your digestive system a good boost...

 

Good grief, I would never have imagined that you meant literally a dog cage if I hadn't clicked the link

 

They wouldn't be trying to develop a vaccine if you couldn't develop some sort of immunity...

------------EDIT--------------

It's obvious that my lack of writing skills, combined with replying to the wrong post, resulted in a complete lack of clarity on what I intended to say. To start over...

If you couldn't develop some sort of immunity, then we wouldn't have a lot of smart people trying to develop a vaccine... they are only doing this because there is a belief that some level of immunity can be developed.

 

Please educate yourself BEFORE you make statements of fact. From the CDC FAQ on COVID-19:

Q: Can people who recover from COVID-19 be infected again?

A: The immune response to COVID-19 is not yet understood. Patients with MERS-CoV infection are unlikely to be re-infected shortly after they recover, but it is not yet known whether similar immune protection will be observed for patients with COVID-19.

Here is the link:

Edited: Deleted my comment since I misread your post (“couldn’t”).

Still, agree with Winders, immunity from having the disease vs. vaccine (if they can even create one) not well understood enough at this point.

 

Yes, scientists are working on a COVID-19 vaccine and operating under the assumption that we will have some level of immunity after recovering from infection. It would be criminal to do otherwise. The CDC are not just being cautious though because they really have no concrete idea how immunity will work. Each virus is different. The real worry is that someday a virus will come along that spreads like the flu, is deadly, and we build up no immunity to it. The Corona family of viruses are not that virus.

 

There are apparently recovered people in Wuhan that are testing positive a second time.

This is Sweden right now.

 

The headline seems on point to me if people are testing positive a second time. They have each been asymptomatic, and testing positive apparently may not automatically mean 'infected', and they don't seem to be sure yet if the second positive test is the result of reinfection or as a residual from the first. But... it does look like someone can go from testing as recovered and then test again later as 'positive'.

 

Came across this interesting post from an ER doctor and former Special Forces Medic on what to do if you get COVID but aren't sick enough to need hospitalization. It's a lot of practical advice on ways to alleviate symptoms effectively and help your body fight the infection. Not a substitute for your doctor's advice obviously, but it has some good ideas I haven't seen articulated elsewhere.

What to Do If You Get COVID – from an ER Doctor & Former Special Forces Medic

 

If you believe this guy, Covid-19 spreads way wider than the flu. Flu= 1.3 people per spreader then 10 layers removed then 14 total. Covid-19 = 3 people per spreader or 58,000 10 layers deep. No I did not check the "maths"

The USA and Western European states have a problem because we won’t send guys in camo to lock up everybody no obeying social distancing. The East Asians and Slavs send some guy with a buzz cut or shaved head in camo pants and a wife beater to stand outside and smoke to make sure you don’t leave your apartment.

Trump won’t quarantine NYC and asshole New Yorkers are driving out of the city spreading it. f**k his space force. Start the United States Police Force and mine the bridges. Has anybody posted Escape From NY yet? That’s what we need.

 

We don't need Snake trying to find the President after his fingers were cut off. We also need that 80s synth soundtrack at this time (even if I own the soundtrack on CD).

So...about that House bill that was passed with so much Pork? Yum, pork. I'm in my cigar shop right now doing my weekly cigar, having a Dry Pork Sandwich in the process. No one is doing social distancing.

 

Supposedly the world was warned about the corona virus mutating and a possible pandemic over 10 years ago. No one listens to the scientists, profit takes priority anyway.

It was weird earlier today to queue at the supermarket. One out one in. Still no eggs but finally hand soap.
