Best Posts in Thread: VERY URGENT WARNING

From what I have read, immunity after recovering from Covid-19 is not well understood yet.
There has been some research done on antibodies prevalence in former patients and the results don't look promising (hardly anyone with antibodies still present 6 months after recovery).
However, that's only part of the immunity story. The human body also has T-cells, which serve as a sort of "memory bank" against previously encountered viruses. These T-cells can quickly mount a defense in case of renewed infection.
The very very few cases where people have twice gotten sick with Covid-19 are too insignificant.

Significant continued mutation of the SARS-COV2 virus similar to the flu virus, would obviously pose a serious problem for bringing it under control with vaccines.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert, so I may have understood some of this wrong.

 

Your posts on Covid-19 are actually extremely good.

And am I correct that a few months ago you posted that, not having English as a first language, you could not compete with others here? If I remember this correctly, then clearly you very much under-estimated yourself.

 

You may be aware, the problem is usually 'antigenic drift', but it may 'drift' (or shift) only a little - thus the body may have some immunity to new strains because of a percentage of similarity to past ones (via passive or acquired immunity). With some viruses immunity may be short-lived (and it is looking that way in Covid-19) or very long-term (even a lifetime).

Covid-19 could become another 'seasonal flu' like illness and is always with us and changing.

 

The problem with the flu is that the vaccine protects against the 3 or 4 most prevalent flu-virus strains from last year. However, since it is by no means certain that those same 3 or 4 strains will cause most flu infections this year, the vaccine doesn't guarantee that you won't catch the flu even after getting a vaccination.
Washing hands and wearing a mask might even offer just as much protection (but getting a flu-jab seems like a good idea anyway if you're at risk of complications).

Let's just hope the vaccine against Covid doesn't end up like the flu vaccine, offering only partial protection.

 

Okay, I dramatised the headline!

Most members are not gullible - but often the gullible don't know they are gullible!

So PLEASE ignore the postings here and elsewhere describing preventions and cures for Covid-19. This pandemic is so serious to the World economy that as soon as something is PROVED to work, we will know about it. There is NO magic bullet.

Until then, wear a mask, keep your distance, stay as healthy as you can be.

Trying any of these 'remedies' might put you at risk due to complacency or actually damage your own body. They might even make you more vulnerable to this virus!

Wait until the top scientists tell us what the solution is - don't listen to those who know as much about this as I do about chatting up women!

 

Just a thought here, are they really looking for a cure for something not totally understood or are they or should they be looking for a means to stop it happening as with the Flu jab? I mean the Flu jab is not there to Cure Flu but aid the immune system to help fight off the virus is it not?

 

The

There are discussions in other groups that the vaccines may only offer partial protections and for limited periods of time. We have to wait and see. There's also new advice out that old folks need a stronger dose of the current flu vaccines, so in the future there may be different dosages of flu shots.

 

Very crafty you are. The topic "very urgent warning" could be a topic about anything. It is vague enough that anything can be said as long as it sounds urgent. You have made a place for yourself. A place where you can be off topic while using exclamation points, bold fonts and all caps.

 

Quackery killed Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple Computer.

" the Apple mastermind eventually came to regret the decision he had made years earlier to reject potentially life-saving surgery in favor of alternative treatments like acupuncture, dietary supplements and juices. "
