Although, there’s growing evidence that this virus was here much earlier than February and March. I don’t think we’ll really ever know how many people have had it.
Italy Drs are reporting viral loads are down significantly in new cases, and Coronavirus in Italy is no longer a threat. This would speak to the estimation I posted a few weeks ago saying 10-20% of the population infected is all that’s needed to acquire herd immunity. They’re even doubting the possibility of a second wave.
That’s great news! I hope we see the death of Covid as quickly as possible. I’m still wearing my mask until we hear otherwise. Best to be safe considering it is such a minor inconvenience.
There are questions regarding this and Dr. Fauci may know more about this than is currently known?
During a White House press briefing, a reporter claimed the Obama administration gave the virology lab in Wuhan $3.7 million in grant money in 2015. Various news reports, relying on the nonprofit White Coat Waste Project, also reported similar numbers. This is incorrect. The National Institutes of Health gave roughly $3.4 million to EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit research group, over the course of 6 years, including under the Trump administration. Of that $3.4 million, less than $600,000 was sent to the lab in Wuhan, EcoHealth Alliance spokesman Robert Kessler told PolitiFact.
There were people predicting numbers that IIRC were very close to these revised figures. Since they were likely made to defend their statements, this will be an opportunity for me to see their reasoning for said predictions so I can make better decisions the next time China infects the rest of the world with one of their various lung pow diseases. I’ll be practicing 1,000 ft social distancing in the meantime. Fortune favors the prepared after all.
