What's this?

Glad you are still around

I thought you said you were gonna stop replying to me. Yet you keep doing it. Now you are threatening me. Is their some statue of limitations on the number of times I'm allowed to respond to someone on here? You keep insulting me by calling me a stalker and now claim I'm somehow harassing you. I've posted over 2,500 times here over the course of 20 years and am pretty sure I've responded to you directly maybe 1% of those times. Kinda hard to make the claim of stalking believable with those numbers. It may seem like it recently, but you have gone out of your way to make yourself a seemingly self-proclaimed expert on COVID19 recently, so you should expect to see frequent responses. Furthermore, I'm not on here as obsessively as some folks are so its not unusual for an interesting topic to scroll off the first page by the time I get back to following up. Don't think Will has ever said we are not allowed to respond to a post once its scrolled off the first page. Anyway, probably best you are taking a break as it seems to have been taking a toll on you. Hopefully not because you have some loved ones suffering from COVID19. Take care.

If true, I would expect a vaccine would be all but useless -- HokieForever 07/07/2020 08:39AM

Smiles and nods head. ** -- ColoVT82 07/07/2020 1:00PM

No, this is not bad news for a vaccine, per se. ** -- Gobbler-100 07/07/2020 10:20AM

We should just quit trying now, this is getting nutty -- fordham 07/07/2020 09:34AM

So what do you suggest? Everyone just go about their normal lives and let -- AbsolutVT03 07/07/2020 11:06AM

Yes, most of america can go about their lives, there is a certain segment -- fordham 07/07/2020 12:02PM

Now this is "nutty". Glad you are not in charge of anything. Keep that -- AbsolutVT03 07/07/2020 12:13PM

You are the only one qualified to post on this subject, my apoligies -- fordham 07/07/2020 12:33PM

Anyone can post. And I can comment on how "nutty" that post is. The idea -- AbsolutVT03 07/07/2020 12:49PM

We would prefer you not be so condescending, but that's not gonna happen ** -- Teewinot 07/07/2020 1:43PM

I give the respect I'm given. Thanks for chiming in stalker!** -- AbsolutVT03 07/07/2020 1:47PM

Did you get banned?? -- Teewinot 07/11/2020 2:19PM

Nope. Taking a break thanks to stalkers like you. Never been warned let -- AbsolutVT03 07/11/2020 3:01PM

OK, see the death rates from other issues and keep in mind that -- fordham 07/07/2020 10:40AM

Google excess deaths ** -- 81_Hokie 07/07/2020 11:50AM

It's bad for way more than just the elderly. For reference, heart disease -- AbsolutVT03 07/07/2020 11:09AM

The death rate won’t stay at that rate all year. -- GreenvilleVT 07/07/2020 5:02PM

Again unless you think the number of COVID deaths is going to somehow -- AbsolutVT03 07/07/2020 5:31PM

The mortality rates for under 60 is extremely small, just a fact -- fordham 07/07/2020 12:00PM

I provide numbers that show how serious the virus is and your only response -- AbsolutVT03 07/07/2020 12:12PM

You referenced heart disease, the mortality rates for this particular virus -- fordham 07/07/2020 12:32PM

I referenced the deaths per year from heart diseases and the deaths so far -- AbsolutVT03 07/07/2020 12:38PM

I am not attacking you at all, giving you your due as the most -- fordham 07/07/2020 1:44PM

@fordham still waiting. It’s almost as if you’re avoiding having to prove -- AbsolutVT03 07/07/2020 11:48PM

I’ve seen other articles indicating 3 months of antibodies being present -- BG Hokie 07/07/2020 09:30AM

Not free to me, sigh ** -- HokieForever 07/07/2020 09:52AM

That story in the journal is very consistent with -- GreenvilleVT 07/07/2020 09:51AM

Do you might as well live ** -- Hokie1992 07/07/2020 09:24AM

Herd immunity possible, but not from vaccine -- HokieHutch 07/07/2020 09:14AM

It's far too early to tell if infection results in lasting immunity -- VTSnake 07/07/2020 09:22AM

Virus also appears to be weakening significantly ... death rates globally -- vt90 07/07/2020 09:17AM

There is no evidence that the virus has weakened. -- TJ Hokie 07/07/2020 09:56AM

TBD. Here is some evidence by a simple search -- HokieHutch 07/07/2020 10:01AM

Had not seen some of this. Thanks. ** -- TJ Hokie 07/07/2020 11:05AM

Agree, it’s not settled science by any means but there is certainly some -- BG Hokie 07/07/2020 10:42AM

See below. ** -- vt90 07/07/2020 09:59AM

I don't understand this. I understand the virus can mutate over time, but -- Hokie360 07/07/2020 09:35AM

Logically, it makes sense that a virus would tend to something less lethal -- VTSnake 07/07/2020 09:43AM

Reminds me of an old game on my kids phone -- HokieHutch 07/07/2020 10:03AM

Plague Inc. Fantastic game. ** -- VTSnake 07/07/2020 10:30AM

The thought is the weaker strand/mutation is the most contagious one that -- BG Hokie 07/07/2020 09:41AM

It’s the potential long term effects of this crap that’s scary .... -- OXVT 07/07/2020 09:34AM

Agree, but count me as dubious -- HokieHutch 07/07/2020 10:14AM

That’s fair but I still think that’s correlative with the same factors as -- BG Hokie 07/07/2020 09:42AM

I'm kinda fascinated by the factoid they never developed a SARs vaccine... -- `lag 07/07/2020 09:29AM

I don't think there is any real evidence that the virus is weakening -- VTSnake 07/07/2020 09:24AM

There were many articles about a study in Italy that indicated that, at ... -- vt90 07/07/2020 09:28AM

I read some articles that pointed to some gene deletion -- VTSnake 07/07/2020 09:38AM

Here is one article - there are many if you do a search ... -- vt90 07/07/2020 09:42AM

That's encouraging, but very anecdotal. ** -- VTSnake 07/07/2020 09:46AM

Most things still are at this point... ** -- BG Hokie 07/07/2020 09:52AM

How long will it be before we find out all we didn't know about C-19? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 07/07/2020 09:20AM

I think by November ** -- Hokie1992 07/07/2020 09:27AM

Hopefully before C-20 hits us. ** -- MP4VT2004 07/07/2020 09:25AM

Ugh. Antibodies are just one part of the bodies immune defense -- VTSnake 07/07/2020 09:12AM

But your body fighting a virus sans vaccine should do the same -- HokieForever 07/07/2020 09:20AM

You don’t think a vaccine give T cells Memory to fight that virus in the -- BG Hokie 07/07/2020 09:33AM

No, saying whether you get a vaccine OR get the virus -- HokieForever 07/07/2020 09:49AM

Probably different because of viral load, which can likely be bigger in a -- BG Hokie 07/07/2020 09:50AM

Why are you saying no T-cells? -- VTSnake 07/07/2020 09:27AM

This is kinda what it seems like is happening. If so, we will just have -- HokieSignGuy 07/07/2020 09:00AM
