Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted May 28, 2020 Could have sworn I mentioned him in the salvage lot for 2020 thread but apparently not. He was apparently so fucked with dementia that he didn't know who Aston Villa were when his son came to visit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite a lot of people will have had it by now, or have strong reasons to believe that they have. They judge that they now have immunity, and that they are no longer infectious, and they are almost certainly right on both counts. So they feel confident to carry on as normal. I would too.

Gotta say doubtful about the immunity. I saw an article last week about Sweden, and even without a country wide lockdown, it looked like the overall infection rate (based on antibody presence) was 7.3%. Nowhere near enough for herd immunity. I don't think we're past this yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will feel that they are not running much risk compared to those who haven't had it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
