In years to come, people will just get their flu+covid shots every winter.

New I hope you're right. But 140+ "re-infections" is not promising for a vaccine.

New There may be some minor differences between the viruses that re-infect.
I recall reading once a long time ago that there were some 300 different "colds". Once you have a particular one you won't get it again. However, you will get a different one. Not sure if that is still thought to be true.

However, I have read Corvid-19 that came to the US from Europe, which is what NY has, is slightly different from the Corvid-19 that came directly from China. So obviously it is evolving. Anyway, it may be the reason for re-infections.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

New I read somewhere there were three known strains today.
But having just finished an article of the CDC's test kit debacle, I'm not sure I trust the tests!

New Got a Linky for that discussion?
It's particularly SAD when: actual-Scientists (seem to have..) Fucked-up so crucial a matter. 'Time-constraint' is no alibi, on This Scale.

New Thanks; such terrible timing for CDC to make ~first? Mega-fatal-blunder.
Still unclear: whether a hastily-sent Bulletin, Do Not USE Part III would have saved a whole MONTH.
ie, the exponential-growing of the RNA/DNA conversion process seemed to be: extra info on expected variants;
nice but not Al-Punte. (Yet..)
