  1. Just the opposite, probably. The virus has to get inside to reproduce. Any virus that can't get into the cell will die and degrade.

  2. takes a long time to build from 1 to 1 million, even with a doubling rate of 5 days or less.

  3. And if they don't, because 1) like you say, not on the list, and 2) they had the virus and are now immune, then they get called names. Horrible names. Names like "Trump."

  4. Beers to our friend s in the united kegdom!

  5. Some colleges seem to have done very will, with very good plans. Some of them even did their own diagnostic testing and random sample monitoring. . They are doing far better than the national plan/ lack of plan. . So I am wondering what is a grad school?

  6. 1. at least 2 months 2. at least 8 months

  7. I think there are other mutations in the strain that do not match. Interested to know more details...

  8. It appears to offer a high degree of immunity for at least 8 months or more, for the vast majority of people.

  9. Yes. And vice-versa also. Being rude really doesn't convince anyone, and often makes things worse. Thanks for your comment!

  11.  @OceanFrontVilla3  Ok yes! That does make sense. I wasn't trying to be obtuse it just comes naturally.

  12. Thanks for the update. No marsupials got it I hope?

  13. Perhaps he discovered the rate of reversal was higher than expected? Reversibility itself would be expected in standard theory from the 1930s (Fisher etc). Inevitable, in fact.

  14. Areas of the country with the strain showed 40-70% faster growth of test cases. . This is being poorly reported. It is only a clue that it MIGHT be more transmissible, and the "news" stations are only repeating the high end. Our Surgeon General got it right on an interview -- he is now being considered for deportation to Mars Base, probably.

  15. There was no Thanksgiving surge, so Xmas probably not either.

  16. ... and they do so so you can eat. . Or has the UK outlawed alimentary activities until this is over?

  17. Thank you for that. First hand reports are much appreciated, for obvious reasons.

  18. The UK health folks would agree. They said it was possibly 40-70%, and then the news says "It's 70%!!!!!!"

  19. Not accurate. It ruled against mandating quarantine based on the test alone. Also people who tested negative were forced into quarantine! Good case to reign in out of control government. But the test is great.

  20. To be fair, it's not like the public is being provided with regular, relevant information. E.g., total active cases today in your city/ county/ state/ country.

  21. The most deadly wave of the Spanish Flu was due to disease evolution. Wartime conditions selected for the most deadly mutations. . This evolution rapidly reversed as the flu reached non-war areas.

  22. Certainly, there is no hard evidence. There is a correlation, perhaps, from post-hoc observation.

  23. There is excess mortality in the USA. Only in some months of the year, however.

  24. Not really, because the 2m cases is not an estimate of the total number of cases in the country.

  25. what do the N and Y stand for?

  26. Yes! That is probably the most detailed, bias-free number to assess the total impact. . Of course, many of the deaths are due to lockdowns, as well as many due to Covid.

  27. What was the question?

  28. Twice a month on average https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-science/2020/09/16/coronavirus-pandemic-diseasee-mutating-arizona-covid-19-research/5811997002/

  29. correct, it does not mean it will be here forever
