If, for instance, uni students were permitted to mix freely, they would be immune by end of term and then serve as a protective buffer for their elderly rellies.

Better look to care home policy if you want to save oldies - nothing to do with loony lockdowns

 

[Mr. Tea]

In this article, the dynamics of the pandemic due to SARS-CoV-2 in Bangladesh are analyzed with the SIRD model. We demonstrate that the herd immunity threshold can be reduced to 31% than that of 60% by considering age group cluster analysis - Bangladesh has relaxed restrictions and spread among young adults is set to reach herd immunity more quickly, as they mix far more than older people.

Coronavirus antibody prevalence falling in England, REACT study shows | Imperial News | Imperial College London

Tests on more than 365,000 people in England have shown that the antibody response to the virus that causes COVID-19 wanes over time.

So you wanted students (of any age?) segregated off from the rest of the population from the get go? What about staff? Filler answers to real questions?

What about staff interaction and PPE shortages in the entire sector from the get go?

 

[mixed_biscuits]

@Mr. Tea If immunity depended on extant antibodies we should be seeing increasing rates of reinfection but no.

Staff should hide if vulnerable.

Yeah, agree re that stuff

Isn’t segregation lockdown of a kind?

 

[mixed_biscuits]

Universal lockdown is the dumb, indiscriminate policy with no precedent; targeted segregation voluntarily entered into is very different.

PS. Let's not get hung up on semantics.

What a missed opportunity!

What does immunity depend on, if not antibodies?

 

[mixed_biscuits]

What does immunity depend on, if not antibodies?

So if the antibodies are waning, why aren't there lots of reinfections now?

Do some research!

So, has the Queen been vaccinated on live TV? Seems like she'd be top of the list. Maybe they've got her stored in a literal bubble and it's a moot point.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

I think she's a bit too sensible for any of that nonsense.

 

[Leo]

the vaccination or the live on TV part?

It'll be a saline injection, just for show. Reptiles are naturally immune.

Science bro hasn't heard of t cells?

 

[HMGovt’s Glorious Return!]

And there's the complement system too, which is GCSE biology iirc

 

[Mr. Tea]

I don't have a master's degree in All Of Science, do I, you sarky twat.

Anyway, Dr Justine Alford, of Imperial College, sez

These findings suggest that there may be a decline in the level of immunity in the population in the months following the first wave of the epidemic.

But obviously you're right and she's wrong and probably doesn't even have GCSE biology.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

Great, but why isn't there a tidal wave of reinfections then?
