As for you, you seem to think it's a matter of religious 'belief'. OK, if you want to make that your religion that's fine by me.
But your religion isn't going to convince my facts. And personally I'd rather live in the real world, instead of your fantasy 'if I believe it enough it'll be true' world.

You have no problems dismissing all of that, because that lets you keep your religion.

Explainer: Coronavirus reappears in discharged patients, raising questions in containment fight
SHANGHAI/LONDON (Reuters) - A growing number of discharged coronavirus patients in China and elsewhere are testing positive after recovering, sometimes weeks after being allowed to leave the hospital, which could make the epidemic harder to eradicate.
On Wednesday, the Osaka prefectural government in Japan said a woman working as a tour-bus guide had tested positive for the coronavirus for a second time. This followed reports in China that discharged patients throughout the country were testing positive after their release from the hospital.
An official at China’s National Health Commission said on Friday that such patients have not been found to be infectious.
Experts say there are several ways discharged patients could fall ill with the virus again. Convalescing patients might not build up enough antibodies to develop immunity to SARS-CoV-2, and are being infected again. The virus also could be “biphasic”, meaning it lies dormant before creating new symptoms.
But some of the first cases of “reinfection” in China have been attributed to testing discrepancies.
On Feb. 21, a discharged patient in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu was readmitted 10 days after being discharged when a follow-up test came back positive.
Lei Xuezhong, the deputy director of the infectious diseases center at the West China Hospital, told People’s Daily that hospitals were testing nose and throat samples when deciding whether patients should be discharged, but new tests were finding the virus in the lower respiratory tract.
Paul Hunter, a professor of medicine at Britain’s University of East Anglia who has been closely following the outbreak, told Reuters that although the patient in Osaka could have relapsed, it is also possible that the virus was still being released into her system from the initial infection, and she wasn’t tested properly before she was discharged.
The woman first tested positive in late January and was discharged from the hospital on Feb. 1, leading some experts to speculate that it was biphasic, like anthrax.
A Journal of the American Medical Association study of four infected medical personnel treated in Wuhan, the epicenter of the epidemic, said it was likely that some recovered patients would remain carriers even after meeting discharge criteria.
In China, for instance, patients must test negative, show no symptoms and have no abnormalities on X-rays before they are discharged.
Allen Cheng, professor of infectious diseases epidemiology at Monash University in Melbourne, said it wasn’t clear whether the patients were re-infected or had remained “persistently positive” after their symptoms disappeared. But he said the details of the Japan case suggested the patient had been reinfected.
Song Tie, vice director of the local disease control center in southern China’s Guangdong province, told a media briefing on Wednesday that as many as 14% of discharged patients in the province have tested positive again and had returned to hospitals for observation.
He said one good sign is that none of those patients appear to have infected anyone else.
“From this understanding ... after someone has been infected by this kind of virus, he will produce antibodies, and after these antibodies are produced, he won’t be contagious,” he said.
Normally, convalescing patients will develop specific antibodies that render them immune to the virus that infected them, but reinfection is not impossible, said Adam Kamradt-Scott, a specialist in infectious diseases at the University of Sydney.
“In most cases though, because their body has developed an immune response to the first infection, the second infection is usually less severe,” Kamradt-Scott said.
Other experts have also raised the possibility of “antibody-dependent enhancement”, which means exposure to

Happy New Year, WISHY. I edited out your psychopathic screed!
I've never done that in 40 years.
It is possible the Earth is round and travels around the sun. I willingly go along with that assumption because there is zero ROI to think otherwise or go down any of the Flat Earther rabbit holes.
I'm not convinced that we aren't in a simulation. And at the end of the day, whether we are or not is no matter.
My mind is one of the most open out there.
However, we have been lied to all of our lives by both the media and the Government likely thousands of times if not tens of thousands of times.
As a school child, we were made to fear sex because of AIDS in school. To this day, in my 40 years, I've never once met a single person who had it or even knew somebody who had it.
I think it's a lie and a manipulation.
Best (worst?) case scenario, it is something that nobody should have ever been afraid of because the chances that anybody would ever get it is next to NIL and they shouldn't have been terrifying 2nd graders that they were going to die of it if they had sex.

In June 2017, the World Bank announced the creation of “specialized bonds” that would be used to fund the previously created Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility (PEF) in the event of an officially-recognized (i.e. WHO-recognized) pandemic.
They were essentially sold under the premise that those who invested in the bonds would lose their money if any of six deadly pandemics hit, including coronavirus. Yet, if a pandemic did not occur before the bonds mature on July 15, 2020, investors would receive what they had originally paid for the bonds back in addition to interest and premium payments on those bonds that they receive between the date of purchase and the bond’s maturation date.
July 15, 2020 ... so near, yet so far away!
How long can Tedros hold out and avoid calling it a pandemic?
(It's somewhat more complicated than that and tied directly to the stock market, so if you're interested in details, go to the linked article.)

With the new coronavirus, President Donald Trump has finally faced a crisis that’s not of his own making, and his response — dismissive, defensive, prevaricating, all politicized to the point of caricature — bodes ill for some other type of crisis that might embroil him, and us, before his term is up.
Earlier this month, Trump waved away reports of the virus as a blip that will “miraculously” vanish with warmer weather. This week, back home from his trip to India, watching the news of death tolls consume the morning talk shows, he tweeted:
"Low Ratings Fake News MSDNC (Comcast) & @CNN are doing everything possible to make the Coronavirus look as bad as possible, including panicking markets, if possible. Likewise their Do Nothing Democrat comrades…. USA in great shape!"
Trump had been touting the soaring stock market as a selling point in his reelection campaign; by that logic, he feared, a crashing market could spell his defeat. Presidential Medal of Freedom winner Rush Limbaugh piled on, calling the scare a deep state plot, noting that Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, is the sister of Rod Rosenstein, the former deputy attorney general who played a prominent role in the investigation into Trump’s Russia connections. (Limbaugh also informed his listeners that the coronavirus “is the common cold, folks.”)
Not even Trump took that carpet ride. Instead, he started to do what other presidents have done in these circumstances: He heard a briefing from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Afterward, he tweeted, “We have the best experts anywhere in the world and they are on top of it 24/7.” But then he held a news conference and returned to form, dropping his deference to experts, a pose he’d rarely taken, especially when their judgments run counter to his interests.
Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist and still his ideological guidepost, once said his goal was “the destruction of the administrative state.” Trump took that to mean destroying all centers of power and influence except for the Oval Office and the annexes loyal to it. That’s what he is in the process of doing. His Cabinet, his staff, and the Republicans in Congress are giving him free rein. But they’re slitting their own throats in the process, for in a crisis, especially this crisis, no one is immune from the ravages of incompetent authoritarianism.

Donald Trump Jr. just said something unreal about Democrats and the coronavirus:
Quote:The President's eldest son, who has made no secret of his interest in running for office and maybe even president in the future, is suggesting that Democrats are rooting for coronavirus to come to the United States and kill "millions of people" solely so that they might have a better chance of winning in November.
But for them to try to take a pandemic and seemingly hope that it comes here, and kills millions of people so that they could end Donald Trump's streak of winning, is a new level of sickness. You know, I don't know if this is coronavirus or Trump derangement syndrome, but these people are infected badly.

Oh, you think you're extra-crispy smart because you've entertained the notion that This could all be a dream? Well, sonny, I was asking that question whne I was EIGHT. and I didn't need to see The Matrix to prompt that thought. Furthermore, it's part of a long line of western philosophical discussion ... illusion versus reality. subjectivism versus objectivism ... so neither one of us can even claim to be particularly original.
And don't you think that it's just a little bit intellectually dishonest ... not to say hpocritical ... to be demanding evidence for some things, but then denying that evidence can even exist or that direct observation/exxperience can be probative when the argument doesn't go your way?
JUST BECAUSE AUTHORITIES OR EVEN ANTIAUTHORITIES TRY TO SPIN A PROBLEM DOESN'T MEAN THE PROBLEM DOESN'T EXIST.
You're a smart guy, but that's a blind spot!
