    I've had it and only spent about 1 day getting through it. As of yesterday with my second test (school employment testing required this year) came back clean. I am good to go, but only because I was exposed early on and developed my own immunity. That is the theory behind herd immunity.
    Any vaccine they develop will be a vaccine issued behind the curve..
    God....I love how people like you are already announcing that this is an ELE..............if it is, there is no stopping it.
    Good for you that you got a mild case. Some were not so lucky.

    Me, I'm not "crawling out" of wherever I'm living (thanks for the personal attack; I won't respond in kind because I don't do those), because I go to work every day, and you'd be surprised if I were to tell you, doing what. I'll just tell you this: its a *very* essential activity, and it gets me pretty exposed - still, I soldier on. That's the problem with making assumptions about people... you don't know me and you don't know what I do, and you assume that I'm under some rock and one day will crawl out of it...

    As for my talking about LEL, I never said that. It's in my very signature: "don't panic." The thing is, you have a stereotypical view of what I'm standing for, and if I don't fit in it, you'll force me in it anyway. Like saying that I'm a fearmonger after I spent the entire time posting about how minimal the risk for children is... Well, a fearmonger would be saying OH MY GOD IT'S TOO DANGEROUS DON'T REOPEN THE SCHOOLS!!! Me, I was saying in these very words, "the risk is infinitesimally small." Kind of a weird thing to say, for a fearmonger... So I don't fit your stereotype, but that won't be a reason for you to abandon it... you'll just double up and talk about "people like me." Great.

    Seems like you don't understand how herd immunity works, and what the role of vaccines in herd immunity is. I've given you the information but you want to ignore it. Be my guest. There's just so much I can do and if you don't want to listen. The country that tried the hardest to get herd immunity ended up with just 7% of the population with antibodies.... With the SARS-CoV-2 basic reproduction number (that's the R0 you may have heard of) variable between 2.0 and 5.7, heard immunity for this disease would need two things: 50 to 82.5% of the population exposed (as it is calculated as the reverse of the R0 number), and lasting antibodies.

    Any epidemiologist will tell you that there is a better way to achieve herd immunity than exposing 82.5% of the population to a virus that steadily kills at least 1%, with the odds being that herd immunity won't even be achievable anyway: it's called a vaccine. To think that someone who is optimistic about one is a fearmonger is preposterous.

    But whatever. I'm done trying to explain it to you. Good bye and have a nice life. You won't get more answers or comments from me. Over and out.

    So far, all of the so-called experts have gotten it wrong.
    I suspect most of those deniers are well vested in the mask market................this also comes from the same group that uses defunct climate models as their predictions. They have failed at that as well.
    In other words, your reports are based on speculation because it's too early in the game to come up with anything concrete.
