Is this just a coincidence that each "event" is producing 10+ cases or is this part of another wave coming around? Not that I thought COVID was going away, but these major spikes were fewer and farther between until this past week...just damn frustrating.

Are these actually "spikes" or just people of note testing positive for COVID-19?

Everyone will eventually get exposed. Immunity seems to be strong and long lasting.

As we go inside more due to cold the non immune people will be exposed and covid slowly goes away by end of the year if not faster. No big second wave will happen. Only cities and countries who locked down will see another wave.

100,000's of college kids have been infected and are now immune with almost no hospitalizations.

There are some populated areas of the Midwest and Pacific Northwest that are concerning.

The sunbelt, atlantic coast, northeast, and southern California look to be stable.

I know you follow this a lot. What are your theories on why these areas are becoming concerning? For instance, Washington state was one of the first hard hit areas and I would have thought they would have a greater number of previously infected people and therefore hopefully a greater level of immunity. Did these states reduce contact at a higher level than I may have realized or is something else at play?

As another note to watch, New York is starting to see a rise in daily new cases. While I am sure they would like to say their social distancing measures worked effectively to reduce their cases, it doesn't appear they are having the same success now. My hope is this just the result of schools starting and will not result in any kind of serious uptick.

A few things...

1) Starting to see an uptick in CLI and hospitalizations in those regions.

2) Those regions have not been hit hard as yet. Any part of the country where deaths are well under 600 per million is suspect, especially if it includes major metro areas.

Where do you see immunity is strong and long lasting in minor or asymptomatic cases?

it's not in terms of antibodies still being present in the system

but that's not the full spectrum of immune system capabilities

we're all going to get this, likely multiple times in our lives

Based on graphs in all those areas having a pretty predictable pattern

if the body is able to fight off the virus once, don't you think it should do well fighting it off again and again?

I don't think he's saying the opposite (that immunity is weak and short lasting), but rather that there's little data that shows that it necessarily is strong and long lasting -- it's conjecture at best.

For one thing there have been millions of cases around the world. Millions.

There are practically zero reported reinfections or insignificant "PROVEN" reinfection cases from Sweden or other places basically over covid.

How any people around the globe have to die from starvation and poverty before some realize the damage that is being caused for a virus that will have a death rate of 0.2% to 0.3%?
