I'm not in the business of vaccine immunology or development, so it's hard to say. In general, I think cautious optimism is good policy.
IF the antibody test is accurate AND your immune response is adequate, you shouldn't be contagious long after antibodies are produced. There may be a small overlap in contagion as antibody production is ramped up, so it's probably wise to wait a bit after the positive result before assuming you can't infect others.
Ugh, hopefully it’s not because they got word of a spike coming. Pretty much everything in AZ has been given the green light to open, so it must be something internal.

Until then he'll be working from home.

Fair enough GB...I didn't mean to come over the top. I know you were just making a point, and if you can't do that on an anonymous msg board, where can you do it?Morton Muffley said:
No idea what you're saying, especially when you link to a story in a major newspaper while claiming there are no stories.
Read somewhere where the transmissibility is supposed to go down 1.7% for every degree over 77. No idea If that’s accurate or not. Might not be a lot for other areas of the country, but summer in zona could lower it by 50% if accurate.
This is a great example of low effort disingenuous posting by BeTheMatch.
Then good news, we won't have to worry about a resurgence in the fall/winter for the virus.
Speaking more to the heat aspect of it as Qatar has been between 95-106 degrees the past 15 days and it isn't slowing down there. Same with Saudi Arabia who's last 7 day high temps were 106, 104, 104, 99, 100, 99, 99
There is still a very grey area around antibody testing being reliable. Tread lightly.
I'm not disputing that. Nor do I know at all what testing or social distancing looks like. But again, if weather has no impact at all, then we don't have to worry about the virus itself getting worse. Now that would go against what many docs like Fauci say. I'm not sure who is right. But either things get better in warmer weather, of course aided by people being able to get outside and social distance, in which case, we should take advantage of the opportunity. Or the warmer weather doesn't help at all, in which case, we'll perfect the social distancing so we don't see an uptick in the fall.
In looking at the data more, looks like they predict the ICU beds to exceed capacity which is where things go off the rails (in terms of deaths). I would imagine if things get to that point they would find a way to expand ICU capacity somehow.
Nobody said warmer weather has no impact; rather, the impact appears small.
At least Communist States that are falsify reporting continue with stringent/even in-humane restrictions as they recognize the true reality of this. Florida's like F'It, under report and open 100%
This is true. If you stop the measures that have reduced the R0 you can have your surge in the summertime.
Did you live in a trailer with seven or more immigrants workers from India or Pakistan?
Negatory. A simple Google search will tell you that 63% of households have air-conditioning in Saudi Arabia. 4th highest in the world. Please ask your rhetorical questions of someone other than me in the the future.
Just make your argument if you want to make an argument. Rhetorical questions are disrespectful. You have consistently been disrespectful to people in this thread. And me saying, "If you're indoors with air conditioning, it's 70 degrees and dry" is not a sweeping generalization that negates discourse.
Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, Lubbock, Harlingen (gonna drive this one for now).
I have an appointment scheduled for Thursday. BYO Mask, stay in the car until a room is available and they call you.At the dentist.
It wasn't a rhetorical question. It was an argument to negate your implication that we should disconsider the evidence from warm countries vis a vis spread of the Covid-19 in hot climates because of aircondition (which anyway doesn't seem that strong considering airconditioning is used in hot areas in the US as well).
