User ID: 76933812 Chile 05/27/2020 08:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I thank OP again for his clarity of thought and the analysis of information he shares with us. Most people fail to see an analysis for what it is: a reasoned deduction of possible outcomes from a certain situation. OP has given us a range of probable outcomes from a range of ongoing situations, and he has been consistently right within the constraints of the available information. The worst possible outcomes have not been anything but postponed, which has also been one of the constant points of OP’s line of reasoning. We missed the opportunity to stop this thing in its tracks before February 5th. Stopping all international and national travel then would have been the only scenario where this would have been avoided. Now the world is just managing the ongoing mess while trying to keep things going. And now we have other problem that is much more difficult to analyze and predict its exact impact in the outcome: There is so much people that can’t wrap their minds around the seriousness of the situation that prefer to grasp at any idea that gives them hope that there is no real pandemic or that it’s all a hoax. However, even if as few as one in 20 non lethal cases seem to become chronic, with periods of worsening and receding, I think anyone in its sound mind should be aware that we need to avoid being infected at all costs. In my own country we are achieving the saturation capacity of ICU beds, infection rate is soaring and deaths are steadily increasing daily. And we are just at the beginning of the normal worst respiratory disease season, things are only going to get worse, and many people can’t be bothered to take the minimal precautions. All great truths begin as Blasphemies. G.B.S. GLP is like a diamond mine of information, in the sense that you have to shovel mountains of crap to find the diamonds, but it's still worth the pain. |

Is this such a mutation? How many mutations have there been so far? Sorry for the ramble, but the ramifications of constant mutations are very unnerving. I think OP has not yet decided to discard the possibility of Herd immunity, as there is not yet any definitive evidence either against the possibility or in favor. For the moment one can err on the safe side to say that given the current evidence available for prevalence of antibodies to SARS CoV2, we are far from reaching the level of prevalence to think of herd immunity. On my part, I speculate that some evidence allows to think that at least a fraction of the population will not develop immunity, and even worse, a fraction within this fraction seems to have developed a chronic illness with recurrence of symptoms for over 3 months, that even if not fatal, is greatly detrimental for the sufferers. Under this consideration, herd immunity, in my opinion, is probably not going ever to be attained. I don’t think OP supports this stance, and I stated that is a speculation, subject to change when and if more evidence is produced to either confirm or discard this speculation. The bottom line is that, even if herd immunity is attainable, we are far from it just yet. If herd immunity is not attainable, may God help us, we are really screwed.
