Annoymouse Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 So Amenity sites are back open, but there has been no announcement on non essential journeys yet. I would like to get rid of a few bigs of stuff I’ve sorted out over the last week, but I can’t see how this would be deemed essential, can I take my daily exercise at the amenity site?

Could testing a few weeks after they've recovered indicate an immunity level or how long acquired immunity lasts for? Pardon my ignorance...

Pardon my ignorance... Unless there’s a known immunodeficiency syndrome I think it’s assumed that people that definitely have covid and recover get antibodies. They wane from about 3 months. I’ve not seen anything relating antibody presence to continued immunity, although you would assume that’s the case. It doesn’t mean that you’re susceptible again once they’ve gone though because of T memory cells. I’m not aware of anywhere that tests recovered people routinely to give them immunity certificates or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid-19 immunity likely lasts for years - MIT Quote A new study shows immune cells primed to fight the coronavirus should persist for a long time after someone is vaccinated or recovers from infection.

Banker Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Ashie & Howie stated that one of reasons for lockdown was concerns over availability of beds at Nobles, turns out reason for low bed capacity is that ward 20 being used for vaccine roll out and private patients unit not being used as they plan to reopen. So it looks like there’s plenty of bed capacity & the usual BS to justify their decisions. https://gef.im/blog/nobles-capacity?fbclid=IwAR1qOO5qhuAlP6uqRMp4dF4GigHTWXrhTiENwvTBUEJs6ccBL6ecTyZnFeM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She sat (lay) outside in the ambulance for an hour. It seems the whole thing is a mess right now. No wonder they were worried.
