COVID-19 will likely be with us forever. Here's how we'll live with it. (hormone, vitamin)

Per the bolded: Exactly. CD4 T cell response is correlated with covid severity. The more robust the response; the less risk from severe covid. That's why for the life of me; I can't understand why voluntarily blunting your CD4 T cell response during a covid pandemic would be considered a good thing.
India has been spared compared to the US. A population of 1.4 BILLION, with a death per million rate of 112, compared to the US with a population of 332 million with a dpm rate of over 1,400. India hasn't had a day with over 500 deaths since early December, while the US hasn't had a day with under 500 deaths a day since mid-November. India has never even had a day with over 1,500 deaths.
I don't think covid is raging in Africa; the consequences of covid raging in the developed countries they export to; is raging in Africa. "Blacks in the US die from covid at a higher rate than whites"; while in Africa, the "whiter" the country; the higher the deaths. The only country in Africa with a death rate higher than 500 per million is the country with the flu vaccine campaign; South Africa.
Well, Eswatini does but they barely even have one million people total. LDC's in Africa are more impacted by the covid in developed countries, due to difficulty exporting, than they are from the illness. Pick any less developed country in Africa & google it + news + covid & it's all about the economic hardships on farmers, not illness & deaths.
They have to scale it back anyway because you can't donate plasma after having the vaccine.
India has only had one wave before they went to lockdowns. It's now in the middle of summer. The US has had two waves where different regions experienced their waves at different times.
It just means vaccines aren't as effective for the elderly. It's not a matter of blunting. They don't have as much capacity to produce T-cells.
What he "put to rest" is the notion that it was a bio-weapon, which I agree with.
But it was still a lab-leak, which is why the CCP is obfuscating every attempt to prove (or disprove) it.
A lab leak, yes that's a distinct possibility. Engineered? Not likely.
Well north or not its 70 in Calcutta. Sounds like summer to me!
"Sounding like" is different to reality! Summer in India starts in March, lasts until May. Monsoon season follows that, June to September. Autumn is after that, October and November. Temps are milder in the South but the seasons are well defined.
The 1918 pandemic did just that. For whatever reason experts seem to think that is not happening this time.
Actually H1N1 never went away, it just became another circulating seasonal flu. Optimistically, after most people are vaccinated, COVID-19 will become "just another respiratory bug that goes around" rather than a serious crisis and a major disruption.

I know. I took geography and meteorology. It was mild humor.
