So my antibody test was positive. I think I had it in December. Though certainly I could have been asymptomatic or had a false positive. Including myself 6 family members were tested who were sick in December or January. We all came back positive. We used the Abbott test which is FDA authorized.

Wife’s and I were quite sick in late Dec and all of Jan.
Wouldn’t at all be surprised if we both test positive.

That fits our time frame King. We are all now donating blood to an antigen therapy study.

So the Speyside family started this whole hot mess.

Prolly, now quit spreading that ugly rumor. I have a list you just moved up on.

Remember, I know Drafter, Frank, and the Clintons!

That's actually good news Spey.
I was concerned that you're in a high risk category.

Vampire bats?
You Patient Zero???

On the ancidotal side I do take Pepcid AC and Xarelto. And I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. IZON, the being retired is boring me to death, but with being in 4 high risk groups it was the correct choice. Right now it might be harder to get to me than Mr. Jones.

Interesting... Any travel? Community spread?

Spey's years and years of making out with goth chicks pretending to be vampires has given him antibodies to COVID

It's prolly in the black lipstick

probably in their shampoo too, huh?

Racist![-(

As I said... we're finding out way more people have had it than they previously stated. WAY more... and that brings the fatality rate way down. There are other studies showing the lockdowns do nada.

Lets get back to bidness.

That's a lot of poorly thought out reaches in a row there MACS.

I have nothing wrong with your final conclusion. but you didn't really use great logic to get there.

It made me laugh.

be better for business if we take more measured approaches to re-open...just declaring the lock-down is over and we're open for business won't convince folks to go back to work...

test people coming back to work, isolate those who test positive, quarantine positive peeps, track their contacts and test them, leave at risk people at home, implement safety measures in the workplace to protect workers from getting infected...



by the way: COVID 19 is much more deadly than the flu...over the last 10 years, the number of deaths annually in the US from the flu ranged from 12,000 to 61,000 - for ENTIRE years..

average about 38,000 people dying from the flu in the US each year....

COVID 19 has killed about 60,000 (and counting) in 3 MONTHS...

and the number of infected people who have severe medical issues after "recovering" is much higher than with the flu...people have severely damaged lungs, neurological problems, susceptible to strokes, kidney failure. organ damage, weakened hearts and will need lifetime medical treatment at great cost to everyone, including an on-going burden on our medical care infrastructure

Poorly worded on my part. I edited. I didn't mean that the antibody tests showed the lockdowns did nothing. There were other tests done in the US and abroad.

Either way, when it's all said and done, we literally gave up rights for the illusion of safety.

Don’t worry...the government will give you those rights back!

Still made me laugh. Not the political open or close part but the assumptions. I am amazed at the hold misinformation can take.

I mean... that was one problem you fixed... there's still a few more.

.... one being you're still (and have consistently been) selective with where you want to pull your undercounting from. We have examples of contained spaces to be able to get close approximations of what the undercounting is. Your belief that it brings the fatality rate "way down" is simply wrong.

I've seen no study showing that lockdowns do nothing.... in fact that makes little sense that someone would do a "study" of lockdowns.... It isn't something that needs to be studied.

I don't care if people want to open sh$t up and get down to business. But don't pretend you're doing it because of some intellectual assessment of available data.
