Seeing this pattern in Sweden really gives me hope |
Yep and seems to jibe with the article from yesterday from italian doctors claiming that the virus is weakening. |
I do also wonder if it may be a bit more seasonal than folks thought. Maybe not quite the flu, but a larger effect than folks have been talking about recently? I just think it's striking that the Southern hemisphere was strangely unaffected for the most part early on despite seemingly conducive conditions to the virus spreading and now it's the reverse. |
While reducing Covid-19 infection is everyone’s goal, falling patient numbers present a problem for scientists researching treatments and vaccines.

Where are you seeing this news? |
No new deaths in Spain yesterday. Over the last week, 15 out of 17 regions reported 0-2 deaths. |
We’re seeing this elsewhere, as well. My theory is that the virus isn’t “weakening” but rather there are a limited number of people who are susceptible to the worst illness it causes. See the article pp posted about T-cells — there are at least three studies showing that some % — perhaps as high as 50% in some areas — of people have T cells that recognize and attack COVID-19. They think these can be from SARS and other yet unidentified coronaviruses. Hence the high number of people who don’t get it when exposed and/or are asymptotic. |
Yep! I saw it posted on this thread a few weeks ago and it seems to be the case. Here's hoping it will continue to be the case |
YEY! |
Bump
(something REALLY good please... Not just some random tidbits like the last few pages) |
I think those drastically declining death rates in several countries is really good news. |
so no second wave? |
Nooo OP would rather hear about the gentleman who finally got rid of his hangnail (the troll post from a few pages back) That's REAL good news! |
After all this it’s almost tracking exactly like SARS 1 timing wise. SMDH! |
This thread is saving me from total despair. Thank you guys. |
