New study into sereprevelance in New York City has come back at 40%.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a strain of coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) and has been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. Total cases of SARS-CoV-2 worldwide exceed 10.2 million, with over 503,000 deaths recorded. Little is known about the body's immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this paper, we describe SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody responses in 28,523 patients from the New York City metropolitan area and report a SARS-CoV-2 IgG positivity rate of 44%, indicating the widespread nature of the pandemic in the city and state of New York. Additionally, for a subset of patients, we report on the correlation between SARS-CoV-2 patient symptom severity and level of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody found in the patient sample.

Experts have advised that we lockdown to lock out the deadly virus, I am with the experts, esteemed experts, full time experts with thousands of years of expertise under their belts . Lemsip, hot toddy’s and chicken soup won’t save you amigo, got it? comprende?

And locking in the virus and importing contaminated tourists from hotspot areas will not protect us either

Interesting to note that all countries that have gone through widespread cases/deaths related to covid haven't had any significant resurgence.

Interesting to see what happens here - has the super effective lockdown with zero community spread simply kicked the can down the road for 102 days?

Are they going to vaccinate every citizen and visitor

Only way out now

Anti-Lockdown, Anti-Mask Protesters Are Getting Arrested in Australia

Two men who organized an anti-mask and anti-lockdown protest in Australia were arrested on Thursday by the Victoria Police Department.

According to an email sent to Newsweek, the department arrested the two men as the protest they organized was "in breach of the Chief Health Officer's directions."

The two men arrested were not named, but the department identified them as a "41-year-old male from Mooroolbark" and a "41-year-old male from Chirnside Park." According to the email sent to Newsweek, the man from Mooroolbark was charged with incitement but was let out on bail and is expected to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on January 21, 2021. The man from Chirnside Park was released "with intent to summons," and, pending investigation, is expected to be charged later today with the same offenses.

Police also seized mobile phones and a computer, while conducting search warrants on both of the men.

The two men organized a protest on Facebook, called the "Freedom Day Celebration" according to 9News in Australia.

The main contribution to reducing hospitalisations and ultimately deaths are the actions taken to stop the virus spreading.

If there was some weaker strain circulating it would be picked up in our Covid testing.

Then how do you explain an increase in cases with no corresponding increase in hospitalisations. And I'm not just referring to Ireland.

Could be 350+ cases today

Also, if they contain this one, surely they'll be last in line for a vaccine. The last place in the world to 'need' it, but at the same time, constrained within their country.

We're managing the spread to vulnerable people, using more effective treatment, and reducing viral load. You're just using supposition.

So are people bringing it home to granny or not?

The numbers that need hospital treatment are low and steady.

And what treatment is being used now that is more effective?

Nashville city council member advocates charging people who don’t wear masks with murder, attempted murder

The Tennessee Star is reporting that At-Large Council Member Sharon Hurt last Wednesday was speaking during a virtual meeting of the Joint Public Safety and Health Committee and said that she apparently works for an organization which says “If they pass the virus, then they are tried for murder or attempted murder.”

There really shouldn't be at this stage

The day we got 174 cases an extra 50 cases was added in from some other day.

They are able to delve into the genetics of the virus, they know when it changes. Something to do with lipid profiles but it's over my head. It's amazing though.

Yes, but as I said it is a painstaking process that usually lags behind what is happening on the ground. It will have changed and the effects will have been felt before that changed is measured by scientists.

Wonderful if true. And could explain a lot of recent occurrences if true for other parts of the world.

I don't think it is painstaking, they've already noted thousands of mutations.

There will be plenty to go round

US wont need any vaccines, they'll have reached herd immunity by the time it comes :-)

3937 tests over the last 24 hours and no change in the positive rate. So probably looking at 50-70 cases again today unless there are more carrying over from previous days.

People add news stories to the megathread without commentary all the time.


You choose to sulk at the implication that deporting, arresting or charging people with murder for not social distancing or wearing a mask is a bad thing. At the same time as people support this stuff they also want to ridicule the notion that there's anything authoritarian about it.

I don't do agendas Betty. If we get more than 53 cases this evening it means those positive cases didn't come in the last 24hrs.

Nineteenth-century judges who sentenced petty thieves to be transported to Australia acted with more probity than many figures of authority, and their supporters on this thread, now do.
