Now it's in the news that the anti-bodies may cease to be effective after 90 days. If that's the case, why waste money on a vaccine that needs boosters every few weeks?
 
.... if that is the case, the 'strategy' will have to be re-tweaked, but a 90 day vaccine would have a role for protecting health care workers or selective target populations, IMO
 
While I think people should be wearing masks and there's clearly a serious problem: I'm curious if the criteria they're using for classifying cases is overly nebulous. It's one thing when you lack adequate testing and list some cases under some kind of criteria like "pending", or even "pending, assumed positive" until tests are done -- if proved negative, by test, they should be classified as negative.

Otherwise, it'll undermine all the statistical data.
 
That is some what hopeful. Only time will tell if the "experts" are right. In the meantime I am going to do all that I can to avoid even the slightest contact with an infected person.
 
Minnesota report, current overall totals as of July 23
cases 48,721, recovered 42,524, hospitalized 4,818(282)*, deaths 1,561, tested 905,315
fatality rate 3.2%
mortality rate 273.8 per million
test rate 158.8 per thousand

Minnesota 8 day amalgamated report, for July 16-23
new cases 4,377
new hospitalizations 292
new deaths 35**

*The number in parenthesis is Minnesota's currently hospitalized COVID-19 cases. This number has varied between 227 and 283 over the last 23 days.
**There were 5 deaths that were probably due to COVID-19 which are not included in the total deaths or new deaths. This is due to no test having been performed.
 
Exactly. It's far too new a human pathogen to be able to ascertain exactly what I'll happen with immunity. Still lots to be learnt.

I'm not gay but I won't even let you kiss me. Infected females, maybe. That depends on whether I really wish to die or not and if she's really super desirable. :););)
