I've spoken over the phone to most of my Republican, Democrat, and Independent friends, neighbors, associates, and family members.
We all agree on the following things right now:
Texas didn't mitigate soon enough-
Are upset with our governor for following Donald Trump's lead in the beginning-
Upset that the governor also took Donald Trumps advice and opened back up too soon-
All upset that after all the mitigation efforts and personal sacrifices we have made already, and now having to go back to square one and start over again.
Are all happy that our governor is no longer following Donald Trump's lead- and has shut us down again and making masks mandatory in the public.
And we all are worried about the virus running out of control in Texas.
But we seem to all be hopeful that the virus will be on a downward curve in the next few weeks if we knuckle down and let the mitigation take it's course.
BUT THOSE ARE ABOUT THE ONLY THINGS WE ALL AGREE ON! LOL! It's pretty much war on everything else!

Antibodies are only good for a few weeks, then you are at risk of catching it again.
Coronavirus antibodies can start to fade away within weeks, according to a new study which puts a 'nail in the coffin' in the idea of herd immunity

No herd immunity on this one, baby killer.
So we can add "herd immunity up there with:
- The warm weather will kill it
- It will disappear in the Spring
- Shining a light up your ass will kill it
- Drinking bleach will kill it
- Hydroxychloroquine will kill it
When I die, turn me into a brick and use me to cave in the skull of a fascist
Assuming, the reports are accurate herd immunity would be transient but it will knock down the virus and make future outbreaks more manageable.
Why do lefties. Always. Always find something dark to mull over with this thing? Will that change if Biden gets elected?

Herd immunity is not necessarily a forgone conclusion. Antibodies are disappearing in a few months.
And we're nowhere CLOSE to herd immunity, yet ICUs are full in some places.
Which human beings are you willing to sacrifice so we can reach a level of herd immunity that will last for a grand total of three months, fucknuts?

TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..

Apparently there will be no herd immunity, and possibly no vaccines either.
"A recent preprint study published in medRxiv, indicates that there is a rapid decline in the levels of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies during the weeks following initial infection. This raises questions over the potential for re-infection, the effectiveness that may be expected from vaccination and the viable window for antibody testing in disease surveillance.
"The study, led by Kings College London researchers, followed 65 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection that had been confirmed by RT-qPCR for 94 days following the first onset of symptoms. During this period, repeated serum samples were collected and SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody titers measured by ELISA and neutralization assay.
"This showed over 95% seroconversion and identified neutralizing antibodies beyond 8 days post onset of symptoms. Disease severity was correlated with peak antibody levels; however, this did not appear to impact antibody kinetics. During the ensuing observation period, a rapid decline of neutralizing antibody titers was observed, with some individuals approaching baseline levels by the end of the observation period.
“This is the first comprehensive study of the longevity of antibody responses in both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2. This is a well-performed analysis which provides a thorough examination of different antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2,” commented Lawrence Young, Professor of Molecular Oncology, University of Warwick."

Since you claim to be medically-knowledgeable, I'm sure you'll both understand what is being reported here, and find an obscure blog post to refute it, correct?

No, what will happen is you will encourage everyone to spread the virus, and then ICU's will be overrun and thousands will die.
The only way this is manageable is a vaccine. Until then, we are kidding ourselves thinking we can have a reasonable semblance of the shit economy we had before the lockdowns.
