    Good news! Looks like there is a strong cross-immunity with preexisting Covid-Viruses! This also could explain why some people have very mild or no symptoms. This could also explain why these RNA-Vaccination is so effective on most individuals with over 90%. It could act's like a booster.

    Undergone infection with "human" coronaviruses such as OC43 may protect against severe Covid19 course. Antibody test for OC43 shows results.

    A recent study by a team of researchers from Germany raises new hopes in the fight against corona. Patients who have been previously infected with the so-called human coronavirus have a lower risk of severe disease progression. Why the study may become so significant.

    Prior infection with 'human' coronavirus could mitigate covid 19 course
    Studies discover cross-immunity in coronaviruses
    Antibody testing could identify patients at high risk!
    Proximity to children as possible protection against severe course

    The findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Virology. A recent Charité (Berlin) study also reached the same conclusion. The study's findings suggest that Covid 19 patients who have been previously infected with human coronavirus "OC43" are less likely to need ventilation.

    • I've seen variations of this theory before, but how is it possible that people - especially older people - could have made it through lifemg33
    • without ever catching a coronavirus / covid type of cold?mg33
    • I'm 43 and I've definitely had "upper respirator infections" in my life. Used to get sinus issues terrible, and chest congestion, until I had surgery in 2018.mg33
    • @mg33 good guestion! Among the individuals with a mild course of covid, very many had contact with children under the age of ten...api
    • This lists the common coronaviruses, and I wonder which is the most common upper respiratory virus - https://www.cdc.gov/…mg33
    • @mg33 so in reverse, maybe they hate children? just kidding ;)api
    • @mg33 and you are right, theory is up since the start, but now studies confirm it.api
    • doesn't explain kids though_niko
    • I think the consensus is that younger children have incredibly robust immune systems which are more capable of fending off a virusmg33
    • . Our immune systems wane as we age; that's frequently been suggested as the cause for higher mortality amongst older people.mg33
    • makes sense_niko
    • well put me on the list for a new immune system. This old girl has been running hot for 40 years.bogue
    • it‘s groundbreaking, to know this is all connected and we learn how important it is to let children to come in contact with repirat viruses in kindergarden etc.api

    The second confirmation follows from the first and explains why, even given the power of vaccines, there are still some number of severe breakthrough cases and deaths. That 11-fold reduction of risk found in the national CDC study, for instance? Enormous, of course, but it is an average across the observed population as a whole and represents only the equivalent of the &shy;difference between an unvaccinated 86-year-old man and a 61-year-old one, all else being equal. According to an analysis of British data by the Financial Times, a vaccinated 80-year-old has about the same mortality risk as an unvaccinated 50-year-old, and an unvaccinated 30-year-old has a lower risk than a vaccinated 45-year-old. Even a 42-fold reduction, as was found in King County, would only be the rough equivalent of the difference between an unvaccinated 85-year-old woman and an unvaccinated 50-year-old — the sort of person who was very worried last year before the arrival of vaccines and who may this year be worrying many of those around them by not getting one.

    To be clear: They should get one since doing so reduces disease transmission significantly, thereby limiting the future course of the disease, and because it would reduce their own risk of death from COVID by such a dramatic degree that it doesn’t even make sense to call it a degree. But it’s a sign of just how large the age skew is to begin with that getting vaccinated doesn’t deliver you into an entirely new category of pandemic safety — safer and more protected than anyone who hasn’t gotten vaccinated — but simply pushes you down the slope of mortality risk by the equivalent of a few decades.

    On the other end of the age spectrum, the same skew is more comforting. Recent data from the U.K. illustrate the phenomenon neatly: unvaccinated children are safer from COVID-19 death than vaccinated adults of any age

    • Also don’t forget that it’s not just about deaths. We all would prefer to not get a serious casenb
    • blasting the horn about relative risk based on age is finally getting through to some people...pr2
    • "Vaccinated 95-year-old is still over a thousand times more at risk of death than an unvaccinated 15-year-old."...pr2
    • "Which means we probably shouldn’t be giving those two groups the same advice about masks or social distancing or boosters."pr2
    • Amen to that.pr2
    • ^ no one is arguing that older people aren't more vulnerable. though have fun living in your imaginary victimhood of being surrounded by "dummies".inteliboy
    • vaxxed 95yo vs un-unxxed 15 is still 1000x more vulnerable. your statement is a GROSS oversimplification.pr2
    • "cloth masks of the kind typically worn by children offer very little protection, and the strongest effects of surgical masks were observed among the elderly."pr2
    • lol @ pr2 marveling at the age differences. This is not new, we've known all along that it is far more dangerous for old people, and when I see people in theiryuekit
    • 50s or older talk about the situation they have a different perspective on it.yuekit
    • But if you're so focused on age then you can't ignore this part: the vaccine "pushes you down the slope of mortality risk by the equivalent of a few decades."yuekit
    • So vaccine is very effective based on your own metric and seems like the best way out of the current shitshow.yuekit
    • Using 95+ year-olds as your argument is ridiculous.nb
    • I just keep wondering what is the takeaway from all this? There are almost a billion people over 60 in the world, 75 million in the USA alone...yuekit
    • Unless you have a plan to "sandbox" them somewhere (maybe we can put them on an island?) what would you suggest doing differently?yuekit
    • your 70yo mom has 1 in 20 chance of dying; you at 40yo 1 in 3000; your 5yo kid 1 in 100,000 and yet you use the same sled hammer approach to all.pr2
    • repeating the same mantra "wear mask and get vaxxed" as if this solution was appropriate or working for all.pr2
    • so the ball is really in your court. start concentrating on solutions that work for this landscape rather then repeating trite non-scientific slogans.pr2
    • when you stop using sledgehammer, you might even get guys like me on your side.pr2
    • lol...seriously though, what's the downside of this approach? Explain something that would end the pandemic faster than everyone getting vaccinated (if thatyuekit
    • was possible). Reduce deaths, reduce transmission. reduce hospitalizations (which is not only old people). How is this bad?yuekit
    • most covid hospitalizations in Israel are vaxxed older people. your vax-all approach gives a false sense of security.pr2
    • you are reducing death and transmission only withing the first 6 months.pr2
    • its not worth arguing with pr2. I would really like to discuss the merits of various approaches, however it doesn't seem he is interested in having a sane convorobotinc
    • Insults aside, he cherry picks his science, and ignores all points that don't fit his point of view. For instance, he wont talk about the non lethal affectsrobotinc
    • I said reduce, not eliminate. And USA is already giving booster shots, I'm sure other countries will follow.yuekit
    • go ahead robo, argue with the article.pr2
    • Let's say you only vaccinated old people and no one else. You will have hospitals filling up with middle aged and young people, the health system getsyuekit
    • overwhelmed, even more people die, and then government will be forced to do lockdown again. I'm not really seeing a better alternative here...yuekit
    • He doesn’t understand. Too stupid.monospaced
    • Thanks for all the research!palimpsest
    • 0-17 = 1% ends up in hospital;
      18-49 = 3%; 50-64 = 9%;
      65+ = 28%
      pr2
    • it's the old people clogging up the system not everyone else.pr2
    • Take a look here...
      https://covid.cdc.go…
      yuekit
    • The age disparity has actually changed a lot at different points in the pandemic. Currently it's more like a three times difference between 65+ and 18-49.yuekit
    • But what you're failing to take into account is that the vast majority of the population aren't senior citizens. So even if the hospitalization rate is lower..yuekit
    • You're talking about a lower percentage of hundreds of millions of people as opposed to tens of millions. You're still going to have a huge number of patientsyuekit
    • ...especially once they start taking your advice not to get vaccinated or take any precautions.yuekit
    • specifically because "the vast majority of the population aren't senior citizens" we shouldn't use blanker approach. If you are old you might...pr2
    • ...you might end up in hospital (clogging the system) or die, but if you are not - the chances of either happening are slim.pr2
    • The data is in the link you've posted.pr2
    • Haha OK I'm starting to think you're just trolling now, you just repeat the same thing again and again.yuekit
    • que? you are the one posting links that prove everything i say.pr2

    My Mom's battling COVID... she's vaccinated which is frustrating cuz it's got ahold of her pretty good (however probably the reason she's not as bad as she could be).

    She's heading to the ER for a monoclonal antibody IV... her breathing is rough and she's battling a number of other shitty expected symptoms... sucks I can't be with her right now.

    She's 70 and sufferers from heart disease and asthma... you'd think her 58 yr old husband out of love would have gotten vaccinated w/her... except he refused and continued to go to his work site, sharing vehicles / tight spaces w/fellow dickheads unwilling to get vaccinated. He brought it home to Mom... not sure how i feel about it all (yes... one might consider him a standard anti-vaxxer redneck). :/

    "America is a now a nation of warring media faiths, with Fox/OAN/Newsmax preaching a heretic Savanarola-style gospel of corrupt elites lying about everything from election results to vaccine efficacy, while the rival Church of the Mainstream, which describes itself as the (literally) true faith and exclusive arbiter of such things as “fact” and “science,” preaches a coming fascist apocalypse. Its pundits openly rejoice in Covid-19 as an instrument of vengeance against “denialism” and those who don’t “believe science,” and it’s not an accident that people who watch them too much do things like wear masks alone in cars."

    Portugal has nearly run out of people to vaccinate. What comes next?

    Portugal’s feat has turned the country into a cutting-edge pandemic laboratory — a place where otherwise-hypothetical questions about the coronavirus endgame can begin to play out.
