WuFlu may be weakening

[dukkha]

That's true w/ normal viral activity. They don't think that's the case w/ COVID.

ROFL.. ridiculous.
"novel" doesn't mean COVID-19 is any different in replication then any other coronavirus
it just means it's never been around before.

The body's responses with antibodies and T-cells are the same -how effective they act might be different because its novel
But we are finding out the T-cells are adaptive, and the antibodies do work, even if antibodies "fade" thre are still memory cells that activate if reinfected

absolutely none of the bodily responses are effected by the amount of virus that causes the infection to begin with
think of it like a on/off switch. the virus either infects or does not with exposure -after that the internal mechanisms determine the course of the disease ( long with the virulence of the strain)

Non sequiturs can be ironic, yeah lol.

How do masks and lockdowns ‘make a virus weaker’?

Maybe its going away.

DETROIT, Mich. — While some health experts warn of a possible second wave in the coronavirus pandemic, a new study is pointing to signs that COVID-19’s severity may be fading. Researchers at Wayne State University say viral loads from patients are continuing to decrease as the pandemic progresses. This is also showing a connection to a lowering death rate.

“Rapid implementation of social distancing measures, lockdown and widespread use of facemasks may have contributed to a decrease in the exposure to the virus.”

Interesting study.

The COVID death rate has dropped since early in the epidemic and the virus weakening would explain it. Arguably, the most plausible explanation, actually.

Though it’s interesting [and perhaps predictable] how they concluded it was likely due to man’s actions and not a natural consequence. If people are carrying a lower viral load—that has nothing to do with the rate of transmission; rather, it means the virus is less able to propagate itself within the host *after* the host has been infected.

Hence, the lower death rate.

And if the virus is showing a decreased ability to propagate it’s either weakening or something is going on with the populations immune systems. Most likely, it’s just weakening. Not like it’s never happened before.

At any rate, if this study reflects reality then this is good news. We have likely seen the worst of it.

Another post that didn't age well.

Only in your dreams.

Half a million dead Americans later...

The Biden Vaccine gives us some hope. The cases are going down. The varients do not seem to have taken root. There is a chance that we are working out of trumps mess.
