Reinfection in Mink in less than 3 months after first infection: yet more evidence that there is no long-term immunity to this virus:
The most plausible explanation is that infection with Sars Cov2 does not create long-term immunity in Mink. The authors go on to give examples of how this applies to other animals: including humans:
"We concluded that the initial round of infection in mink was insufficient to confer protection against re-infection."
The same is true in humans: as many are now finding out for the 3rd, 4th, 5th time etc.
Appears to be me as if the Mink were reinfected by the same variant, which was somehow being passed around their cage for 3 months undetected?
South Africa has now hit a true exponential in cases: a massive increase in just 3 weeks from less that 1% positivity to 30% as new variant with significant changes becomes dominant: the variant is thought to be more transmissible and may completely evade vaccine protection:
At an emergency press conference recently held leading South African scientists accounted that they have intensified a new variant of concern, amid a paid rise in cases: the variant has significant changes in spike:
This variant is thought to be more infectious as well as better at evading vaccines protection: the new variant has been named: B.1.1.529, and is soon to be named using the WHO Greek alphabet system:
This is what wishful thinking looks like: there's no reason to assume that the Mink has less symptoms or got less sick etc: just like humans they got reinfected shortly after infection: and probably had more severe disease if anything.
So let's just imagine this was true: they are reinfected and mainly asymptotic carriers now: what does that mean? well, it means they will pass the virus on undetected: sooner or later a new variant and or strain will arise from that...Possibilities are endless here.
I think what many Drs don't seem to understand is that viruses aren't going to start being nice one day: just like the heart disease they treat and cancers etc: they don't start getting less severe just because you have 60-70% effective drug you can give SOME people.
I like Sky News now says will you catch it again? Erm, yeah, you can get infected by the same variant multiple times idiots.
Many in the low IQ squad still think that getting infected makes you immune: just like being infected with colds, RSV, flu etc makes you immune🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
1/School in Cumbria has cases well above 10% with 1 in 3 of the class infected: as outbreak consumes the school
A school in Cumbria reports that 27% of one class has been diagnosed as having Covid over the last 5 days.
2/This includes teachers and pupils.
The school also has a 'smaller number' of cases in other classes: meaning that the outbreak will intensify.
3/ 27% is well over the 'trigger threshold' for PHE action which is now supposed to be 10%: though this 10% can seemingly be applied in any way they feel like: 10% of a class, 10% of a school, 10% of a year group?
1/A Vist from Ofsted Inspectors followed by a 'significant outbreak of Covid' In A Sussex Primary school
A school reports a reduction of 1/3rd in some classes due to a Covid outbreak following an Ofsted inspection after half term.
2/Unsurprisingly, the school reports being significantly down on staffing numbers as a result and then brags about keeping classes open: to those of us who live in the real world, we know that all that will happen is the outbreak will get worse.
3/British headteachers don't live in the real world, of course, they wait for miracles to happen and Covid to stop spreading through prayer alone it seems.
3/ 32 more have sadly died in England and Wales since then: death now happens at an increased rate from October and September which averaged around 10 a day or one every 3 days.
November there have already been 32 deaths: more than 1 every single day.
