There's people out and about all over bruvva

"Essential workers" packed on the subways etc

The "lockdown" is just closing down businesses and wrecking people's finances really. Not preventing transmission.

P.S. A. Cuomo allegedly has nipple rings and likes getting choked

Same in Toronto.

Essential workers all live in the core and are generally packed onto public transit. Pictures of the subway and busses were showing everyone nose to nose with no masks for the first 3+ weeks of isolation measures.
 
20% of NYC having antibodies is huge. Assuming the new R0 is correct (4-5), they're 60% away from herd immunity.
That is for the current strand of COVID-19. When winter comes, the virus will have changed into a new strand. You will need different antibodies. Plus, New York city population is in constant flux. They will never achieve herd immunity. Hence the vaccine problem. It needs to be updated every year just like the flu vaccine for the year's flu virus. So, scientists are currently playing a catch up game with COVID-19. The virus is about two steps ahead. It could morph into a weaker virus or a stronger virus. It is an RNA sequence, not DNA.

RNA viruses generally have very high mutation rates compared to DNA viruses, because viral RNA polymerases lack the proofreading ability of DNA polymerases. This is one reason why it is difficult to make effective vaccines to prevent diseases caused by RNA viruses - diversity is their strength. The flu virus is also RNA.

So according to you looking for a vaccine is useless.... where did this info come from?
 
Only if you’re 70 or have health issues and even then it’s still not a 5 percent chance of it being serious.

I heard there are now only 172 people left alive in Sweden
 
Wow. Gonna be 100 here in SoCal tomorrow

COVID taking it in da arse
 
Trump looking into injecting disinfectant to clean the lungs and using UV rays inside of the body. LOL. How are people still acting like this is OK??

Unfortunately, this wasn't taken out of context. MSNBC actually reported this one accurately.

We were so selfish and stupid that we voted in dementia dudes that are dangerous for the country just because they support our politics. Willing to hurt the country just for your own political agendas. Both parties did this. Man these debates this year between him and dementia Biden.. are gonna be sad.

Yes it is. The quarantine is 100% preventing transmission. That mixed with smart public health measures is how you try and keep transmissions low.
