    Similar to last few days. Slightly down. Will be interesting to see if they continue to climb or level off. They had to go back up at least some with such a huge case rise

    Vaccine by Pfizer showing promise in clinical trials. Saying early results showing it is producing antibodies equal to greater antibodies than the actual virus.

    An article I read said that two treatment options are showing promise. Chemical 11-A and monoclonal antibodies. 11A is an antiviral that attaches to the protease and essentially halts replication. Animal trials have proven to be encouraging, and human trials start soon. The monoclonal antibodies are more of a preventative treatment that stops the virus before it starts. 2,000 people will take part in these trials in the coming weeks. The good thing about these types of treatments are that the trial process goes by much quicker than the vaccine trials. Yeah, a vaccine that would nip this shit in the bud would be nice, but if we can figure out a way effectively treat this thing, the wait for a vaccine becomes less urgent.

    Agree. But that won't be the motto. And either way a ton to go and that's assuming immunity which Is probably not that likely.

    Sweden's case numbers look to be going down considerably. Is anyone following it closely enough to know if testing is remaining consistent? Have they changed policies? It would be a pretty good sign for us if they are starting to hit herd immunity.

    Seems to be getting better there. However, they still have had 12x as many deaths per capita as Norway and the impact on the economy is about the same.

    At this point, I'm more interested in why the cases are dropping. If they're hitting a herd immunity wall, this summer surge could end up not being such a bad thing for us.

    Yeah, I'm also interested in what's going on. I found this:

    Experts pointed to a host of reasons for the shifting numbers. They credited myriad factors, including the arrival of summer, with fewer people in offices creating more distance, and Sweden quietly taking steps to protect people in care homes. Johan Carlson, the director-general of Sweden's public health agency, credited the "effect of us keeping up the social distancing" for the decline.

    ...

    "The short answer is, that there is no short answer," Pekka Nuorti, an epidemiologist in Finland's Tampere University, told Business Insider, pointing to changes in testing, changes in behaviors, and more time spent outside.
    Some more tidbits in there: https://www.businessinsider.com/swed...-worked-2020-7

    It looks like their testing is about the same as it's been.

    I've had same thoughts. Could that explain New York also. They are having 1/10 the cases they had in April.
    That is why you make no decisions affecting sept and October right now.

    Just found out my cousin has it. Not hospitalized at this time. Said she always wears a mask but for whatever reason went to a wedding and funeral without it and that did it.

    Donny boy bent the knee to the crazies and put on the mask publicly.

    To quote Mr. Graham: "Better late than never, but never late is better."

    Deaths always are a lagging indicator. If you didn't see that coming you are stupid. It will get worse. Want it to eventually go down without a lockdown, wear a 17ing mask.

    Oh, it's only a severe flu season....a disease we have a vaccination for and several drugs that specifically treat it. Got any evidence to counteract those FACTS? I
