One big lesson out of Sweden is that the government policy means less than many assume: Swedish officials were optimistically talking about getting a majority infected, but individual Swedes, while mouthing support for the government, shied away.

Feels like a good time to mention that research going around (dunno how much truth, can’t evaluate) suggesting perhaps other coronavirus exposures do provide some sort of partial immunity to this one

Runs into the problem of Lombardi; maybe some % of people there *didn't* have COVID19 and had the protective infection first (which shows up on serum tests as COVID antibodies). All that means is that COVID is that much more deadly to those who do catch it.

Nope, looks like there's plenty of cross-reactive immunity from other coronaviruses, including those that cause common colds. That's probably part of why kids barely get it, don't progress to severe symptoms if they do and are very poor at spreading it.https://twitter.com/luigi_warren/status/1263243101931319296?s=20 …

Either it's 1% IFR or the serum antibody tests in NY and Lombardi are picking up immunity to other corona viruses and it's *much more* deadly than 1%. There's no good news to be found in "it infected fewer people in Lombardi"
