Re the article: Granted I’m well out of my depth here but the argument “we’ve got some immunity bc it’s related to SARS” isn’t one I find terribly convincing, bc as I recall, we didn’t have a heck of a lot of defense against SARS.

Still waiting for that “disappear in summer” thing too. The virus still seems pretty strong, even in the heat of the American summer. Granted, it’s better elsewhere...correlated strongly with mask use.

I think it’s likely true tho that many so-called “asymptomatic” folks actually DID have some mild symptom, which they dismissed, and subsequently forgot or denied. Who wants to admit “Yep, woke up with a slight sniffle last Wednesday. Clearly, I’m the one who killed Gramma.”

This article addresses the T-cell stuff quite well. Essentially those like Randy are looking to support their narrative that COVID19 is not that bad so they bend the research to fit that narrative.https://twitter.com/gidmk/status/1294390889947598848?s=21 …

And then, as Gideon explains, if you want to buy that the TCell Hypothesis grants immunity then you have to accept that R0 is much higher... and therefore nothing actually changes.. https://twitter.com/gidmk/status/1291236514324549632?s=21 …https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1291236514324549632 …

Okay I just need a snippet of clarification
@GidMK states “we know (it) kills ~0.65% of infected ppl. Napkin math ... US figures 5,310,000(infected)x 0.0065=34,515
Actual US excess deaths
200,000/5,310,000 = 3.8%
What am I missing?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
Replying to @seanpero @auscandoc and
If he’s correct on the 0.65% ( and I have no reason to doubt him then the true number of US cases is 31,000,000

Yes I'd say a reasonable ballpark is that 10% of the US has been infected by now

The basic reason is that testing misses a lot of mild/asymptomatic cases, so CFR is inflated in comparison with the 'true' IFR

Of course, low CFR is still devastating with high cases. Still leads to overwhelmed hospitals. And fatalities don’t account for long term damage and disability.
