In the United States 38000 people die each year in car accidents.

I don't know if that is supposed to make us feel better?

The Corona virus is really starting to impact the USA now. Half a million cases is a lot of cases.

Once the hospital beds become full; then the death toll sky rockets. The reason is that everyone that has a health condition that requires a hospital bed is turned away also.

On the news this morning I read that, folk that had recovered from the Corona virus in South Korea, were catching the virus again. I hope that is not true as this has deep implications for everyone.

“At this point, this particular COVID-19 virus seems to be acting more like a stable, nonmutating virus,” says Dr. Katherine Dallow, vice president and medical director of clinical programs and strategy for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. If this assumption is confirmed, it means that when a vaccine is developed, you’ll likely only need to get it once – or once every five or 10 years – to maintain immunity, rather than annually like the flu shot.

But right now, Dallow says “it’s far too early” to be making assumptions about how long immunity will last after infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. But, “I think that the scientific and epidemiologic community are cautiously optimistic” that this virus may be less like the virus that causes the flu, which mutates frequently and can thus dodge the recognition abilities of the human immune system.

“The overwhelming feeling still at this point is that for the vast majority of people, reinfection risk is minimal,” Dallow says. There has been at least one widely reported case of suspected reinfection that impacted a tour guide in Japan. However, Dallow says it's still unclear whether that was a case of reinfection or whether the individual hadn’t fully cleared the original infection.

“It could also be the case that for certain individuals – and I’m not sure we have enough cases to say this for sure – but that certain individuals may not mount a sustainable viral response, depending on how severely they were infected in the first place," she says. This could mean that because the individual had a very mild case, they might not create enough antibodies to stave off reinfection in the future.

Dallow says that currently, there’s very little evidence to suggest this is the case with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but as with all things related to this coronavirus, more research is needed.
