Were they tested before June?

Yeah, about half of them. Plenty of other people I know have been symptomatic, gotten tested and cane back negative. The list of symptoms is pretty general, and yeah it’s definitely out there, but especially early on it just wasn’t super prevalent. Like 87 other things have the same symptoms, from the common cold to bad Indian food, I’m not a virologist but I think the vast majority of “I had it way back in Feb/March” people didn’t.

how soon after the infection / diagnosis were they tested? the study from spain i referenced (~61k participants, <5% seropositivity) was conducted with samples taken from the end of April to about mid May, at which point the number of new daily cases was already on the decline (interpreting this as after the worst of the outbreak in that region based, as # of recovered cases surpassed active cases as well), and based on the info 'woo posted, it's possible by the time they were tested for seroconversion that they had already lost a detectable amount of antibodies.
Unless something changed, antibody tests are blood tests.

The general population was sampled at random between july 13th and 18th.
Daily deaths in the region are back to pre-covid rates.


Covid run pretty much unobstructed in some places.

What, if any, covid precautions were implemented in Loreto?
Going by general death rates after covid vs before covid.

Most compliant cities peak at <20% increase in deaths and worst non-compliant cities reach 40-60% additional deaths until what appears to be herd inmunity is reached.

Yeah, we shouldn't talk about this stuff. Just listen to whatever authority aligns best with your desired state. Thankfully we have a wide variety to choose from.

I am certainly not an anti-vaxxer but I suspect people are putting their faith in what is essentially marketing from publicly traded company looking to bump stock prices.

A rushed vaccine will likely have sub-optimal side effects which will impact adoption rates. Currently less than 60% of Americans say they will get the vaccine. That is less than the supposed herd immunity, so if you want to be protected you must have the vaccine and hope it works for you.

That's vomit worthy.
more like my next internet purchase!


I gave up months ago thinking I could rely on the good judgement of others to just not walk right up to my face and start spraying. Time to rely on their creep mechanism for physical distancing


Actually some fatass white lady with a maga hat will probably come up and hug me.......nevermind.

Aren't you in France? No Le Monde, Libé, L'Express?! I find Le Monde pretty informative.
