[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Australia is in the equivalent of our November. No second wave.[/quote]

As they identify people in the US earlier and earlier, it becomes apparent that the virus may have been circulating here, under the radar, longer than we think.  I have seen some speculation -- pure speculation at this point -- that this is effectively the second wave.

I don't know how to ask this without sounding rude/combative but I swear that's not where I'm coming from! Can someone explain how it's potentially good news? I think I'm just missing something. [/quote]

Because not everyone with COVID is in the hospital dying. Many have had COVID and are now well. [/quote]

It also means that they have built immunity which means they are likely not going to be in danger if we see more spikes [/quote]

They have identified two persons in Washington State who have tested positive for Coronavirus antibodies who were sick in December. Maybe some of those people who thought they had it in December were right?  It would mean that the virus has been here percolating for some time, and it just wasn't noticed as being out of the norm until it hit large populations of vulnerable people, like the nursing home near Seattle.

Already, studies in other nations have poked holes in what previously were thought to be starting points for the virus. Researchers in France recently found a COVID-19 case dating to Dec. 27 — nearly a month before that nation’s first previously confirmed case on Jan. 24. A genetic study published by researchers in Britain this month also found evidence to support “extensive worldwide transmission of COVID-19” likely infecting people in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere weeks or possibly months before some of the first reported cases in January and February.[/quote]

That would be amazing. My parents went to Italy in the fall and my mom got really sick a couple weeks after they were back (in October). Fever for 2 weeks, chest heaviness, never ending cough. It seems too early, but at the same time it was too early for true cold/flu season here. I really want her to get an antibody test once they are more accurate. My dad never got sick but maybe he was asymptomatic. Who knows.[/quote]
