Hmmm. Donald told me a few weeks ago what was happening here was a disaster, our second wave was happening, words to that effect anyway. Maybe I shouldn't listen to him anymore.
He's probably concerned that America isn't the #1 on the list. With his rallies and other ego stroking events he's certainly doing his part to get them there!

@dogmeat interesting to see how Sweden's strategy is panning out.... I wonder if the infection rates are dropping there?
Looks like infection rates on the up

@Kiwiwomble yeah alot of Europe seem to be climbing again, which doesnt bode well if it is a cold winter.
I think our lockdown coinciding with summer conditions in Autumn helped alot, and most places had a mild winter.

That is actually not bad, the current positive numbers in their second wave, compared to others. Who are recording numbers already twice as big as March/April peak (because of broader testing of course).

Yeah going to be a rough old winter.
The people are rebelling big time as well. So many simply wonβt listen to government rules.

Always awkward when your facts are trumped by other facts.

Herd immunity alone was never going to halt COVID-19.
Interesting way of studying it.
Why not just test people who have had the disease and see if they still have antibodies?
I think that may be what they did. Just isnt spelled out clearly in article

I read it as a random sample of the population and finding the number that had antibodies. This dropped from one study to the next, thus their conclusion being that antibodies reduce with time.
