    - infection for virtually every virus confers immunity for some length of time. there's no reason to think this is different. - mafic May 19, 20:47 1
      - Some of the cases that have popped up as "re-infected" are actually just a result of tests detecting CoV2 RNA and not actual symptoms. -- nm - Beryllium May 19, 21:01
  - Hmm, I have to get my blood drawn next week - wonder if there's any chance they'll include that test in the package. -- nm - Meg May 19, 19:52

i think i have spent over an hour staring at this work project trying to figure out how to make it work. -- nm - tRuMaN May 19, 17:29 6
- That's the great lie: the work project does not do the work; it is you who does the work. -- nm - Beryllium May 19, 17:32 5
  - do not try to make sense of the work project. that's impossible. instead only try to realise the truth. - mafic May 19, 17:34 1
    - Heh - Beryllium May 19, 17:51
  - my brain doesnt understand what you are saying and wishes I could slap you with a fish. -- nm - tRuMaN May 19, 17:32 2
