| It now appears that you can contract this evil plpague MORE than once. I feel sorry for those NHS workers and clinicians who have survived this terrible illness and are now having to go back and treat it. Especially without enough or appropriate PPE. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/26/world/coronavirus-newsletter-04-26-20-intl/index.html (CNN)You can catch it more than once. The World Health Organization has warned against the idea that coronavirus immunity passports can provide a safe way out of lockdown. Many countries were hoping to start issuing risk-free certificates to people who have had the disease, allowing them to return to work, travel and go about their business. The plan was based on the assumption that Covid-19 survivors develop immunity. But yesterday the WHO said no evidence exists that people who have recovered from the disease and developed antibodies are protected from catching it again. The organization went further, warning that the use of immunity passports could lead to a spike in new infections. That's because people who assume they are immune are more likely to ignore public health advice. In the wake of the WHO's alert, it becomes apparent that global efforts must focus on the only other way to gain protection: a vaccine. |
