No. I mean six people. Not six million, but six people, have been confirmed as having had it twice.

Which would prove there is a considerable level of immunity for at least 6 months, probably at least a year or so, a season, like with the flu.

Yeah people visiting on holiday from other infected countries really hit them hard. Unsurprisingly. But, you know, motherfuckers gotta tan. 

You can't really have a go at people for visiting a country if it was legal at the time, it's not like people parachuted in from a B52. Spain loves the gringo dollar, Portugal were freaking out when the UK kept them on the quarantine list.

That's what the rule was in Spain when I was there. Obviously that's why their covid situation is so good right now.

And of course you wore a mask everywhere you went.

Hmm I can to be fair. I still personally think it's selfish. The borders were opened for financial reasons, not because there was no threat of further transmissions. They weight up the economic impact versus the potential loss of life and voted with greed. I could have gone away, I didn't. I'd love to have fucked off on holiday as much as anyone but not during a global pandemic. I don't think its much to ask for people to sit back and chill for a bit during it.

Yes, I was obliged to.

 

Not really sure what your point is.

SD, why when complaing9ng that you are struggling to breath and over-heating in wallasey in the evening at the end of October when its relatively cold and fresh for 10 minutes would you choose to go to a Spain in the middle of summer knowing full well you had to wear a mask outside all the time?

It spread equally in emitting as in destination markets all over Europe.

Well, in the context of headlines screaming no antibodies, no immunity, aaaaa!, at least it makes you say, hey, wait a minute.

The problem with that is there's lots of stuff you need to line up in order to confirm a true reinfection. Two positive tests in whatever time period the person was sick twice and the confirmation of seroprevalence they had had it once before and there's some different strain stuff involved in that too. How many people actually get all these tests, who knows. It's pretty possible that reinfections fall under the radar.

Well firstly, it's a dry heat in Spain, nowhere near as humid as it is here, and it's humidity which is the issue for me.

 

Secondly, I chose to go to Spain. It was my choice, I knew the rules, and I was a guest in their country. I don't get the choice to consent in the UK. It is forced upon me whether I like it or not.

Baffled:

 

As India's active #COVID19 cases drop for the 23rd day in a row, top epidemiologist Dr. Jayaprakash Muliyil @ICMRDELHI tells @ShereenBhan, 'Only explanation is that more regions of the country are now showing signs of herd immunity.'

 

The only explanation? Good grief, it's like he hasn't listened to a word Fluter from Dakota and Mudface have been saying.

Could be, but there were a lot of health care workers infected the first time around in various countries and you'd expect at least them (if most of general population isn't) to be in some kind of register. I doubt that a significant reinfection would go unnoticed there. And I would be surprised to learn that countries like Germany don't have a full list of all cases, with addresses, occupation etc down to the favourite colour.

Is it really 

Croatia and Slovenia were at zero cases for days late spring early summer, so were Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, there or thereabouts. They like to vacation on the Croatian coast. All countries are now completely overrun, Czechs are the worst in Europe, after Belgium. Slovakia was constantly mentioned as an example of success, with various theories, early lockdown, masks, authoritarian communist heritage bla bla bla. Now they are worse off than UK.
