Explain how immunity works if people can get proven reinfections every 3-4 months? The reinfections can be severe enough to end up in the hospital.

well it’s not confirmed what the percentages of people who are susceptible to the virus at all either the first time or in subsequent exposures. it could be that the later one is a lower percentage. it’s not 100% in either case so it is a factor.

A lot of what ifs. Theoretically, with multiple exposures= better for host- T-Cell rec, if H is weak/ exhaust from 1st exp, then it could be killed at 2nd infection. Over T, it should be assimilated into the society. At what T and how many deaths before this happens?

i’m not saying it’s a good idea I’m saying it’s a bad idea to rely on immunity alone but the existence of some immunity to some degree or at least resistance is a fact and it is one of the things that is helping / Will help. alone it does not work that’s the largest mistake

Sweden did a lot of things including stopping in person school banning public gatherings above 50, people worked from home if they can, travel limitations contact tracing, and they had enough PPE within the health system. they weren’t hit as bad early & weren’t as overwhelmed

they still had to take it very seriously. it’s not an option in the United States because having already been overwhelmed contact tracing won’t work. also compliance in the social safety net just isn’t in the same ballpark

Over 15x's worse. This isn't the worst part. Higher saturation levels translates to a much worse 2nd wave. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

yeah it seems likely that things are going to be really tough in the winter. People seem to have forgotten that everyone was anticipating a seasonality effect. the fact that we still had an increase in cases after lockdowns are lifted seems to have caused people to forget.

The worst part is that I believe a considerable amount of the spread happens when people are assymptomatic, so before hospitals are at capacity and when everything looks safe.

yeah it varies but it’s probably the majority!

If they feel that bad, they may have T-Cell exhaustion. Many reported 2nd infections were classified severe.
