This isn't big enough news!
Let's ONLY post news about leadership shakeup and countdowns until trump is finally out of office! I like that much better than these insignificant tidbits

No no no. Only teeny tiny positive updates.

I didn’t have a fever today. OMG! Great news!

This Alaskan man is making a 14-hour boat trip to Costco every week to supply his small city with groceries amid the pandemic

(hope it's ok to post this here)

I don't find most things on here to be "insignificant tidbits"

Agreed 10000%
If you're looking for only massive pieces of news (and a leadership shakeup) then you can just open any major news outlet. Won't be hard to find when that news happens.


Here we specifically look for (and find) small pieces of uplifting news. Any good news is nice to hear

Oh. Only “small” pieces of news?

ALL hopeful and uplifting news, please!

If I'm understanding this correctly, this study of non-hospitalized mild cases indicates that despite low levels of antibodies, these patients had immune responses that indicate further immunity and promising news for a vaccine.

Carl T. Bergstrom
@CT_Bergstrom
In-depth molecular work on plasma from individuals who recovered from COVID-19 without hospitalization reveals that despite relatively low antibody titres, antibodies against the receptor binding domain of the spike protein can have powerful activity.

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.13.092619v1.full.pdf

"Antibodies are essential elements of most vaccines and will likely be crucial component of an effective vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 . The observation that plasma neutralizing activity is low in most convalescent individuals, but that recurrent anti-SARS-CoV-2 RBD antibodies with potent neutralizing activity can be found in individuals with unexceptional plasma neutralizing activity suggests that humans are intrinsically capable of generating anti-RBD antibodies that potently neutralize SARS-CoV-2. Thus, vaccines that specifically and efficiently induce antibodies targeting the SARS-CoV-2 RBD may be especially effective."

yeah, opening with a huge sanctimonious lecture doesn't exactly invite cheers / congratulations. Lol.

Not sure what the problem with OP'S post was.
And not sure why you can't be happy for the fact that his grandmother is doing well

You don't have to be sure, that's fine. Obviously some of us disagreed. Not sure why you felt the need to pick out my post to attack either, but please stop. Thank you.

Not meant to "attack"! I'm sorry it was taken that way...

Just wondering when this thread became so bitter.

Why can't we all just be happy when someone shares their piece of good news?

Sorry. Been having a really hard time this weekend.

I'm so sorry to hear.
Sending lots of hugs your way!!

When one of hundreds of possible vaccines/treatments starts clinical trials? Meh.

When we have a change in leadership to actually come up with a plan and execute it? That’s huge.
