The issue is, as it stands 50% who get Covid have no or beachbumbob Jul 2020 #1

R0 is a moving target. denem Jul 2020 #11

Looks like they're were figuring for median Ro vs relative Ro that the median Ro is still sky high.. uponit7771 Jul 2020 #18

Problem is nothing points to any permanent immunity, matter of beachbumbob Jul 2020 #5

+1, this is what I'm seeing too. There are way too many studies showing immunity doesn't last uponit7771 Jul 2020 #7

No. There are people who have recovered, tested negative, become ill again Ms. Toad Jul 2020 #16

That link proves my point- 1 patient, small number of other patients in inconclusive research Fiendish Thingy Jul 2020 #19

No it disproves your point. Ms. Toad Jul 2020 #22

50% effectiveness doesn't mean the same no. of people get it but it contains their symptoms halfway gollygee Jul 2020 #49

I disagree 100%, Abbot labs lack of accuracy in CV19 test has most likely not been a net positive uponit7771 Jul 2020 #33

That's not the median Ro that's a relative one. The median Ro is 6 is from the CDC and not 2.5 uponit7771 Jul 2020 #50
