Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

So we don't build immunity to common cold viruses? I thought we did. Problem is, there are so many of them.

I thought that we did build immunity from other corona viruses
We do, to an extent. Prob is that viruses have a lot of variability and are capable of shifting "strains" quickly. Fortunately, our natural immunity provides increased protection after infection with different bugs.

From UpToDate:

Most of the respiratory viruses that cause colds are capable of reinfection after reexposure [1]. However, subsequent infections with the same or similar agents are generally milder and of shorter duration [8]. The molecular and genetic basis for incomplete cross-protection following infection with one strain is not fully understood. However, data from rhinoviruses suggest that this may be due in part to a remarkable degree of structural and molecular variability, both within serotypes and between the divergent field strains that frequently arise from a given reference virus
 
Seeing more and more people on flights back to wearing masks. That’s fine, their choice. You can almost feel the hysteria building again. I’m afraid we’re going to take a trip back to stupidville before it’s done.
Frankly those are likely people who tested positive on an at home test. I think wearing a mask in those instances is a responsible thing to do. What I don't want are any more gov't mandates

Off topic here but want to ask you this It looks like there will be no baby formula around here for awhile would a 6 month old be able to drink milk until the scam is over ?

Breastmilk or formula are recommended until 12 months. Cow's milk (and goat milk) are a little more difficult to digest and are deficient in iron, some vitamins, and folic acid (goat milk only). In a pinch, and preferably only after 6 months, most babies can thrive on whole milk, daily multivitamin drops containing iron, and a good variety of baby/soft foods and iron fortified cereal.

Here's a good resource:
With the baby formula shortage, what should I do if I can't find any?

Thanks will forward to my daughter -- she says everytime someplace stocks it a blabbermouth on Facebook posts it and in seconds its sold out
 
At this point it's obvious to anybody with a little common sense that this is nothing more then a money grab by Big Pharma and its investors. I would love to see how many politicians are investing in these pharmaceutical companies
I think it’s more that the pharmaceutical companies invest in politicians.

Obviously, she should check with her child's pediatrician, as my advice is only in general terms and without knowing his or her medical history.

Although, I'm thinking that if not even the Branch Covidians were able to take my license over the past two years, I'm pretty safe.

Even the idiot RINO from Utah sometimes seems to grasp the fact that you can't trust ONE WORD out of this socialist administration.

Congressional covid funding deal appears doomed after GOP criticism
IMHO, the people of (supposedly conservative Utah... which is a bold faced LIE) are as responsible for continuing to elect this douchebag as the people of Delaware are for continuing to reelect the current moron in the WH.

So thanks for nothing, morons.
