Thanks. Just watched, but he didn't refute what I said either

He actually mentioned t-cell immunity as a theory and was inconclusive (i.e. unknown). Good conversation and interview actually, very fair in his observations of what is known and unknown. Not a lot of speculation, just safe comments.

The comments above about being a far way from herd immunity referenced national immunity. He also cited it going up, then down by region and on to make a new hotspot (specifically mentioned declines in the south)

COVID curves by state - Sure looks like immunity is in progress -- HokieHutch 08/18/2020 08:19AM

Yep. Herd suppression attenuates the bug. ** -- ColoVT82 08/18/2020 12:59PM

Every state will peak and the MSM will panic for every one of them -- fordham 08/18/2020 10:14AM

Your cavalier attitude to 170,000 dead and counting is insane to me. ** -- VTSnake 08/18/2020 10:35AM

That is totally false, it is sad but some of those 170k would still -- fordham 08/18/2020 1:09PM

You must be new here. ** -- Stork 08/18/2020 11:13AM

170,000 dead is tragic. To play devil's advocate for a moment though, -- hokiemas 08/18/2020 10:42AM

As long as meds and vaxes are being developed, delay is always good. -- 48zip 08/18/2020 10:56AM

How much financial ruin is enough though? Seen the suicide rates -- fordham 08/18/2020 1:12PM

I wasn't addressing a lock down. Some things can delay spread w/out a lock -- 48zip 08/19/2020 07:53AM

Like I said, lockdown was a good thing. ** -- hokiemas 08/18/2020 12:39PM

Probably a long way from herd immunity - Scott Gottlieb -- armyhokie88 08/18/2020 10:10AM

Dr. Gottlieb usually provides good info. I've seen sometimes a reporter -- Hokie360 08/18/2020 10:43AM

Story on Wuhan life getting back to normal -- lchoro 08/18/2020 09:32AM

Amazing what happens when people see what's going on and stay inside. It's -- 81_Hokie 08/18/2020 09:24AM

Not where I live in SC. Not sure about other places -- HokieHutch 08/18/2020 09:52AM

Funny how Vermont got to "herd immunity" at only 0.24%. Only 2400 cases -- 81_Hokie 08/18/2020 10:08AM

Just hasn't hit there yet. It will. Moved from NE to South. -- HokieHutch 08/18/2020 10:12AM

Exactly. NY, Sweden, etc are the places to watch. If they get a second -- hokiemas 08/18/2020 10:46AM

Also, are they getting cases or bad cases will be interesting -- HokieHutch 08/18/2020 10:53AM

Here is the question I want answered...and to me all that matters -- Vienna_Hokie 08/18/2020 08:39AM

The thing is if you wait until the answer to your question is "no" -- jmanatVT 08/18/2020 09:30AM

Did you mix up your percentages there? -- vthokieq 08/18/2020 08:27AM

Think he meant 20%. I’ve read articles speculating that between -- RoswellGAHokie 08/18/2020 08:53AM

See below. -- vthokieq 08/18/2020 08:58AM

I think he's saying that you don't need 70% to get it but rather only 20% -- hokiemas 08/18/2020 08:52AM

Correct. Sorry if unclear ** -- HokieHutch 08/18/2020 09:54AM

If that's what he meant, I'm familiar with t-cell theory and am hopeful. -- vthokieq 08/18/2020 08:55AM

I'm cautiously optimistic. Sweden never shut down, yet their curve dropped -- hokiemas 08/18/2020 09:09AM

Thanks. Just watched, but he didn't refute what I said either
