Cluster of COVID-19 in northern France: A retrospective closed cohort study
Background The Oise department in France has been heavily affected by COVID-19 in early 2020. Methods Between 30 March and 4 April 2020, we conducted a retrospective closed cohort study among pupils, their parents and siblings, as well as teachers and non-teaching staff of a high-school located...

And his holier-than-thou brother, who claims to have been infected with COVID19, ignored the EO of his brother the NY Governor, and left quarantine to go visit his plot of land in the Hampton's around Easter. Talk about double standard. He eff'ed up when he got into a confrontation with a cyclist who dared call him out on being out of quarantine. Cyclist later filed a police complaint.
So have 75% been unexposed, leaving a pool for the inevitable Fall wave? Or does the virus just do nothing with them, not even triggering antibodies?
Friend of mine assumes he has it. All symptoms of everything, and he says it really, really sucks (but getting better now). Doc says he has it, although his test came back negative. He hasn't socially distanced from his family of wife and kids, and they have nothing. Go figure.
When I was tested I was told there is a 30-35% false negative rate. So even though I was negative, I was told to do 2 weeks of quarantine.
My daughter and her husband live just north of NYC in Westchester County which was where this started in NY (New Rochelle area). They have both had COVID-19 (late March / early April) and so have many of their friends and many of my daughter’s fellow dental students. All have recovered. None were ever tested by diagnosed by symptoms alone through NY’s hotline. Test were only given to medical personnel, first responders and those admitted to hospitals since test were in short supply. There is no doubt they had it but none are included in the official numbers as they were never tested.
Herd immunity isn’t something instantaneous that happens at 60 or 70%. In places like that future outbreaks would already be somewhat mitigated assuming antibodies for the right corona virus and durable immunity for it at least largely exists.
As for the UV thing, is there evidence of any virus not being destroyed by UV?
Just FYI for your own use. UV works, sunlight works, even if not tested directly on COVID-19, which is hard to do because of controls required. Negative pressure rooms just exhaust outside, letting sunlight neutralize the virus. Folks I work with are doing this...

@Treetop Flyer, to the best of my knowledge, no.
Lots of interpretations to be made. Out of everyone who had it (137?), fewer than a dozen were hospitalized, with no fatalities. So my takeaway is that it is not as deadly as initially suspected in otherwise “healthy” younger people. So much more widespread infection than initially suspected. Again, take away nursing home deaths and the numbers are even lower.
Also of note, smokers were much less likely to get infected, but had a higher death rate. Scientists are now studying the effects of nicotine in treating the virus.

Making logical misinterpretations of statements doesn't help.I literally googled “covid ultraviolet”.
“But to date she has "found no quality scientific studies showing that sunlight actually kills coronavirus," and there are no guidelines on how it might be used on various surfaces or in different settings and temperatures.”

'There are no scientific studies showing X affects Y' is not logically the same as 'X does not affect Y'
This kind of thing is why the world thinks that Trump asked people to inject bleach into their lungs.
It was an answer to someone needing proof that there was essentially bad gouge floating around the Internet.
I also think the world thinks that because the media is telling them that, rather than posting the full comments. You know, because Orange Man Bad. Here’s but one example below.
Sounds very similar to Florida. I watched an interview with their governor last night (not the one referenced below) that talked about their response and their plan. They targeted assisted living facilities and nursing homes, set up rapid response teams to respond to outbreaks there, and basically told everyone else to be responsible. Never banned outdoor recreational activities.
Both are very telling in light of articles I posted saying that nursing homes accounted something like 50% of the deaths, and the NYC subway was the biggest culprit in transmission; not to mention when you force people to stay inside together you’re essentially assuring transmitting the virus to everyone you’re with.
