These so-called memory cells are triggered when the pathogen reappears, and they can swiftly raise forces to fight it.

Long article but might interest some people in the wider picture and doesnt mention hydroxychloroquine or bleach...

Also makes me wonder how many of us here have had a very mild form of it & bugger all actual sickness?

There’s a reasonable suspicion that I had it in Feb last year (headache, mild fever, aches and pains) - but because it didn’t match the symptoms the DHHS was looking for they didn’t test, but I had a doctor tell me in April that had changed and with my symptoms I would have been tested.

And back in Feb they still thought that COVID-19 would be deadly for asthmatics, which it turns out that it isn’t, in fact it appears that asthmatics do better than the general populace.

Not sure where you heard that? "https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/asthma.html"

People with Moderate to Severe Asthma



Updated Jan. 20, 2021

This information is based on what we currently know about the spread and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Risk of Severe Illness from COVID-19

People with moderate to severe asthma may be at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19. COVID-19 can affect your nose, throat, lungs (respiratory tract); cause an asthma attack; and possibly lead to pneumonia and acute respiratory disease.




and all advise I can suggest it is a extra risk factor. I may have missed something of course.

The Poo pool test suggest otherwise[biggrin]

Environmental surveillance by testing of wastewater for evidence of pathogens has a long history of use in public health, particularly for poliovirus1 and more recently antimicrobial resistance (AMR).2 In the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is being used for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 shed into wastewater from the upper gastrointestinal and upper respiratory system and via faeces.
Detection of non-infective RNA fragments of SARS-CoV-2 in untreated wastewater and/or sludge has been reported in a number of settings, such as Milan, Italy;3 Murcia, Spain;4 Brisbane, Australia;5 multiple locations in the Netherlands;6 New Haven, Connecticut7 and eastern Massachusetts,8 United States of America; Paris, France;9 and existing poliovirus surveillance sites across Pakistan.1⁰ Researchers in the Netherlands,⁶ France⁹ and United States of America^7,8 demonstrated a correlation between wastewater SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations and COVID-19 clinical case reports; the latter two further suggesting that the RNA concentrations could provide a 4- to 7-day advanced notice ahead of COVID-19 confirmed case data. Efforts are also ongoing to analyse historical wastewater samples for evidence of past SARS-CoV-2 circulation.
Most of these detections have been in the context of research studies. However, at least one country, the Netherlands, plans to incorporate daily sewage surveillance into its national COVID-19 monitoring.11 A similar approach to using environmental surveillance as part of the routine COVID-19 surveillance package is being studied in Germany¹² and has been initiated in Australia and New Zealand.<sup>13

But no one has yet tested our Septic Tank & Soakage Trenches & we do have visitors from time to time.

Slim chance I realise, but.....................................?????

To further confuse the testing process, Mr B uses the ladies loo, when he is out. [bigwhistle]

Some Japanese reported to our embassy in China that they received anal swab tests, which caused a great psychological pain," Mr Kato told a news conference.
