Loading ...Covid in the Prison System
This is Eye Opening to say the least.
“After testing 2,300 inmates for the coronavirus, they were shocked. Of the 2,028 who tested positive, close to 95% had no symptoms.”
I am not as sure about the conclusions they are making
Is it not a good thing that 96% of cases are NOT symptomatic ?
This reduces the death rate by multiples.
Do you think “tracking” even makes sense if even a fraction of this many people are walking around in “free” society with the virus and no symptoms ?
As a doctor in a previous video explains …Asymptomatic cases are usually due to a less virulent strain and this is exactly the kind of strain you want to get if you have to get the virus.
More Data from more testing is going to be very interesting.
Again..I agree the response was necessary because of the unknown but if way more people have been infected than we knew ( by multiples) then can we not feel more confident that opening the economy is “safer” than we thought
I guess the big question is – if you catch the less virulent strain, does that protect you from the other strains?
Right
And I expect the answer to be yes.
IF no then why bother with vaccines
If your own immune system cannot produce effective protection by exposure to the actual pathogen then why would it do so in response to a vaccine ?
The flu shots we get each year are for only one strain. That’s why each year we have to be reinnoculated. Is COVID-19 the same? I would think so.
TBD
“That’s why each year we have to be reinnoculated.”
We? I never get them. First, they are guessing at which strain will come along next winter when they produce YOUR vaccine the summer before. Second, that’s for the flu. There are no vaccines for the common cold, and that is often caused by a coronavirus. Why no vaccine against the common cold? One year’s cold doesn’t innoculate you against next year’s. Third, vaccines interfere with the proper functioning of your immune systems. They might be an option for those who don’t eat right, or don’t exercise, or are otherwise immune deficient. Fourth — some vaccines contain disinfectants …. like formaldehyde and thimerosal …. which is probably why Trump set up the media with his recent remarks … in effect, casting a sarcastic volley back at the vaccine promoters. (Went over the heads of most people, I gather.)
