By the end of March, 1 in 7 New York adults had Covid-19 -- about 10 times higher than the official account, according to a new study sponsored by the New York State Department of Health.
This adds to a growing body of evidence that the virus was much more prevalent early on in the outbreak than health officials thought at the time.
"Every public health person and infectious disease person in the country is going to line up and say yes, for sure, there's no doubt about that," said Dr. William Schaffner, a longtime adviser to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
He added, however, that there's another side to this report: It shows that even in New York, which had already suffered a sizable outbreak by the end of March, the vast majority of residents were uninfected and therefore still not immune to the virus.
no one would have immunity?
Recently, two researchers measured the immune response in 20 Covid-19 patients and found some interesting results. They discovered that almost 100% of the patient’s immune system was activated and successfully made anti-bodies.
Moreover, the T-Cells, which provide core adaptive immunity, easily recognize the protein-peptide molecules of the Coronavirus in lab conditions. This indicates a healthy immunity in those who have successfully recovered from the Coronavirus.
The researchers, Dr. Biol. Sci. from the Center for Infectious Diseases and Vaccine research, along with Dr. Shane Crotty, from the Lo Jolla Institute for Immunology, published their findings in a new paper. ...
In their study, they found that in 100% of Covid-19 patients, the immune system fought back with antibodies and CD4 T-Cells.
what is the disease-induced herd immunity threshold for the COVID-19 coronavirus? Various epidemiologists offer different answers, depending upon their estimates for the disease's R0 and other variables, but most have converged on a threshold at around 60 to 70 percent.
But after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or fascist dictorship, or a parliament or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peace makers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

Everyone has had colds, and this thing is just a version of the virus that causes the common cold. So why did anything ever think no one would have immunity?
