Remember when I said they were mascots for truthers Rambo John J @Inside Job ? You guys thought I was just making things up. Well, there you go. That's their entire story. There's a video or two as well

Not my mascots, and the label truther is pretty silly IMO

Have you done research on them? or just watched that one video.

They seem interesting, but beyond that I don't know or believe anything about them that I cannot confirm myself.

I don't think they are in on the joke. I think they're just mascots.

Unlikely because of the way it enters cells. We all have the entry protein. Theoretically we should all be able to catch it.
But things I don't know...
With normal cold viruses like Coronavirus, some people develop very strong post-infection immunity. They tend to not get common colds very often after they get them when they're younger. Other people do not generate this immunity.
Sooooo... If you're somebody who has generated heavy immunity to previous Coronavirus exposure, Will you get more mild symptoms from this one? Dunno.
Way too earlier to tell if we can find anything beyond age and health in general that leads to more mild disease. But that's definitely possible. But I doubt immunity naturally since we don't see that in other similar viruses.

We all have the same entry protein for HIV don't we?

Pneumonia deaths YTD: 23,252
Influenza deaths YTD: 2695

United States stats only. Source: CDC
7 weeks of data.

If you extrapolate that to current totals, something like 33,360 total deaths in the US.

But the media has everyone in a tizzy over 2 US coronavirus deaths. TWO.

The media should be ashamed of themselves. They should be preaching best practices and truth. Not causing panic.

How many of those pneumonia deaths were from COVID-19?

Seeing as how none of them were tested for COVID-19, hard to know, eh?

Nope. Now I'm stepping a little bit outside of my area but HIV specifically has a famous receptor called CCR5 that some people carry a mutation and they seem to have HIV resistance naturally. Famously there was a celebrity that had HIV and her husband never called it despite years of unprotected sex. He had that mutation.

Dr. George Pardos mentioned that genetic blocker of the HIV virus on the podcast I posted earlier in thread.

Isn't female to male HIV transmission extremely rare anyways?

You forgot to add the very important word, "incorrectly".

exactly. My wife and I both worked in Class 1 clean rooms for years.
Preventing contamination is a matter of knowing the correct procedure, and doing it so much that it's automatic.

Just bought the last two bags of basmati rice in my grocery store. I don't even live in an Asian neighbourhood but all the rice was looking really low.

Bought a load of water and canned goods but it hasn't really hit San Jose just yet.

Why is that?
We have closed schools here for the flu every season for the last 3 years. I don't know if we study things afterwards to know if it's effective, but it makes sense that it would be

sparkuri @sparkuri said 70 And that nursing home have been reported infected. Initially half of those were staff and half were the patients.

That's probably going to be 20-30 deaths. Like literally the worst place I could think of for this infection to start.
