Best line of the whole thing: "Frankly, it’s criminal." There's a whole bunch of f'kers that ought to die in jail for this.

Sean Malone is a fellow Nebraskan. Good guy. I've had the opportunity to work with him on a couple of things.

I watched the PBS Nova last night. www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=pbs+nova+decoding+covid+19It is such artfully done propaganda that I doubt anyone realized they were being duped. There wasn't a false statement in the whole hour (that I detected). An interesting question to ask is not "will populations develop herd immunity to this virus?" That's a fine question and worth asking. But the question is "Why, when herd immunity has been possible with every previous virus, did the experts tell us (and develop public policy on the presupposition) that populations will NOT develop herd immunity to this virus?"

Your entire premise is wrong. For instance, humans did not develop herd immunity to Polio. Jonas Salk developed a vaccine. Developing herd immunity is a lot more difficult when you are a species that does not gather in herds. Mike

This seems to keep happening. www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/eight-sailors-from-uss-theodore-roosevelt-who-previously-had-coronavirus-test-positive-again/ar-BB14bNuPEight sailors from USS Theodore Roosevelt who previously had coronavirus test positive again Eight additional sailors aboard the coronavirus-stricken carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt have now tested positive for the virus according to a defense official. These eight sailors had previously tested positive and were removed from the ship in order to self-quarantine. They had all tested negative twice before being allowed back on board before this latest incident of testing positive again for the virus. This latest development is in addition to five other sailors aboard the ship that CNN reported earlier this week who had also again tested positive after being thought to be clear of the virus. The carrier is heavily screening crew members for reports of symptoms. Some of the now 13 sailors who have retested positive in fact had reported symptoms to the medical crew, the official said. Politico was the first to report on the eight additional sailors. The official said it is not clear if sailors have somehow been re-infected or if very low levels of the virus have remained in their bodies and testing had not caught it. More than 1,000 of the aircraft carrier's nearly 4,900-member crew had tested positive for coronavirus following an outbreak aboard the ship. After evacuating some 4,000 sailors from the ship to Guam, the Navy had been retuning sailors to the ship following a period of quarantine and isolation in the hopes of getting the aircraft carrier to sea as soon as possible.

Guess there's no choice now other than to stay home until we're all old and dead.

Given the accuracy of the tests, it wouldn't be surprising that those 13 were false positives, either on the way off the ship or on the way back in.
Not every one of the 1000 sailors booted off the ship due to a positive test had the virus, that is a certainty. If the test gives a false positive 2% of the time, 20 of the sailors that left the ship probably didn't have the virus in the first place. Of the sailors testing positive coming back, same deal. Some have the virus for the first time (not having really had it when they left the ship, others are testing errors (false positives).
Out of a 1000 sailors tested going out and tested again coming back, 13 showing the virus on the return offers nothing to hang a hat on. If a virus test is 98% accurate on both sensitivity and specificity, it will offer a faulty reading 40 times out of a thousand.

I had no idea that the testing would involve seamen.
