Definitely helps the theory that the virus has been around in the U.S longer than originally estimated. or perhaps Covid is no longer satisfied with the living, it's going for our dead now as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From reports I've read, if you get it, you've built up some antibodies against it after it passes (like a cold/flu). So you have a much better time fighting it a 2nd time around. However, you are not immune it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, how many people have had two positive tests at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also in the middle of an outdoor mall, and i suspect that the mall owners or whatever just shut the whole place down. So they may not have been given much choice. They're also the best place to get pizza near me and have ruined me to all other bad pizza. So no pizza for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a slower mutation than the flu, so the chances of designing a vaccine that isn't an educated guess (like the flu vaccine is) is something that is possible.

Those are the guidelines I totally appreciate the concern with the George situation but someone is going to have to be first and whoever it is is going to be criticized no matter what, Georgia is not in a worse spot right now than many areas in Europe that are opening similar things back up. Maybe they could've held off on movie theaters and massage parlors Man I know people there. I get that someone needs to be the test subject. But it's harder to be rational when you have personal stake in your friends not dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard on news animal shelters are getting emptied out by people needing new companions to keep company. Great idea! I have the same plan only it’s all outdoors so I’m waiting to put in an order for pea gravel, ground cover, mulch and stain. Its awesome that animals are getting adopted. Hopefully people don’t have a change of heart later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of possibilities why, and they are investigating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
