If it works like other corona viruses circulating in humans, immunity is not long lasting. 1-2 years before reinfection. The hope is that reinfections will be much milder. There is speculation that common corona viruses infect people for the first time when they are very young, and that's the reason for their mildness in adults. That's a lot of ifs though.

I am very interested if there is any protective effect from being constantly exposed to the other human coronaviruses (virii?). I know when my son was born for the first 4-5 years he and I got sick every 6-8 weeks thanks to daycare. Curious after the dust settles if a large portion of mild/asymptomatic cases were parents with younger children.

President Trump on Wednesday said he’ll examine a request for a pardon from Joe “Exotic” Maldonado-Passage, the star of the hugely popular Netflix series “Tiger King.”

“I’ll take a look,” Trump told a Post reporter when asked about the case and his son’s support for a pardon during a White House briefing.

The president’s eldest son has joked about lobbying for his father to pardon Maldonado-Passage, a kooky former roadside zookeeper serving a 22-year prison sentence for orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot targeting animal rights activist Carole Baskin.
“Which son? Must be Don — what did he do?” Trump said of Donald Trump Jr., and then asked about Maldonado-Passage.

“I know nothing about it … he has 22 for what? What did he do?” Trump asked.

After the reporter explained what the “big cat” enthusiast was in for, Trump asked: “Do you think he didn’t do it?”

“Are you on his side? Are you recommending a pardon?”

He then polled the other journalists in the room, asking, “Would you recommend a pardon?”

My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

I asked my fiance and she had gone to Target, she said it was basically empty of people, and they still had stuff. I guess people just can't afford anything, because the stores still have food.

:smith:

it might have just been restocked, or not a major one? I've got two targets I go to and the large one is always utterly empty and ransacked, but it's by a residential suburban district. the one close to me is in the business district which is shutdown completely and if you hit it on the right day it's stacked full. there's a third one that's in area that's lower income but largely latino/asian and that one is pretty well stocked as well because people are terrified of going to places where they might get the "chinese virus".

i'm not sure what your particular targets situation is but hopefully it's not the worst for the people that go there.

the hope is pretty much what you're saying combined with a vaccine and a treatment that stops your body from killing you if it's a bad case

i'll have to ask my gf about that this weekend since she's a microbiologist/virologist

i do know that being in super indirect contact with very weak or incomplete strains of the virus is a legit good thing which is why we make it a point to go out on walks together

I had to cancel my psychiatrist appointment because they're billing telehealth as an outpatient procedure that counts against my deductible instead of a normal inpatient procedure I just have to pay a copayment for. I didn't realize this for my first appointment so I'm on the hook for a huge bill now glad I caught it before my second appointment that was supposed to be for today. lmao. gently caress everything

I lost my insurance and keeping it under COBRA would now cost $1500 a month that I can't afford. I was paying $600 before.

B. People here are being convinced by his posts.
C. He is somehow making money from being reposted here.

Mocking him here doesn't help him in any way. Its not platforming and poses no danger.
Now whether or not everyone just hates him and would prefer not to see it is a separate argument

The research, if replicated and confirmed elsewhere, would appear to scotch hopes of countries being remotely close to relying on “herd immunity” – where enough of the population is exposed to the virus to build up a combined immunity – as a viable policy option.

The study stands in contrast to controversial modelling by researchers at Oxford University who, in one scenario they examined, suggested most people in the UK might already have been infected with Covid-19.

So they're starting to relax the lockdown a bit here since the spread's been mostly under control (<6k cases, 120 dead out of 10m population). One of the changes is that now more retail is opened up, so hardware stores are now open. I went for some BEAN growing supplies and it was loving packed. Like way more people than I've ever seen, even bigger crowds than in groceries. Everyone is wearing masks but no "distancing" is taking place whatsoever so if there's any significant number of undiagnosed cases, this is probably not super helpful.

Haven't you heard idiot? The virus is over. We won.

Can't wait until America as a whole plows face first into the virus because they are restless.
