    a couple of disturbing articles...

    people may be catching Covid a 2nd time and young people may be more vulnerable than older people. This may significantly complicate vaccine development:

    https://www.scmp.com/news/china/sci...rus-low-antibody-levels-raise-questions-about

    and, the feds are stealing medical orders from states and not saying where the supplies are going:

    https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-04-07/hospitals-washington-seize-coronavirus-supplies

    that added to the feds stopping funding for many testing sites....yeeeeeesh

    Why would the testing of friends and relatives of doctors skew the results to a lower rate of positives than the national average?

    Depends on how testing was done elsewhere. If states do testing using different protocols, then the results will not be comparable.

    I know a lot of people in portland that did as well, end of last year,but also January and February this year. With different ailments, the school I work at, we had half of our kids out at different stretches in february. Some were flu, some pneumonia, some other stuff. And a good friend had a nasty respiratory illness in January shes pretty sure was this. I have been wondering for a while if Oregon's low numbers are because it or something like it already came through here earlier?

    It's been here. My boss was so sick he said he thought he was going to die. I wouldn't go near him. He says he tested negative for the flu. 70-80 percent of my coworkers got it. I got a flue shot in September so figured that was why I didn't get sick.

    I remember in January getting mad at my wife for saying call out sick. She had multiple employees who skipped work for illness. I remember because I like call in sick instead of call out.

    I overheard her talking with her peers about how many people were missing work.

    With how much travel we get from around the world we should be leading the numbers of infected. I went to a Knights game on March 1st.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    My mom had one in December and even had the symptoms of loss of smell and taste. She was wondering if it could have been COVID-19, but I wasn't sure how that would fit the timeline. This, if true, would explain it.
