First it was they are testing more, then it was hospital numbers are most important, now it's look at the mortality rate. 14 minute shopping trips must be the key to not becoming mortally ill. Smfh
Studies Point To Big Drop In COVID-19 Death Rates
More hospitalized patients are surviving than early in the pandemic. Improved treatments make a big difference, but so does flattening the curve to keep hospitals from overfilling, researchers say.www.npr.org
I think it also is that the most vulnerable, ie...the really sick in nursing homes, are being much better protected now versus in March/April/May. So the people going to the hospital with Covid don't have the same level of pre-existing conditions and age. Couple that with just 6 months of knowledge on how to better treat and there we are.

Cannot be true. Our Big Ten President overlords would not have cancelled the season if this was true. And they are our intellectual superiors and are only protecting us. So I cannot believe this article to be valid as the Big Ten Presidents are never wrong and we must do whatever they say as we are mere peasants and could not hope to understand their brilliance, we can only realize that they are geniuses.
FDA approves Gilead's remdesivir as coronavirus treatment

FDA is holding AstraZeneca hostage. The trials have continued in the UK and Japan, but the FDA won't let them restart in the USA. It's likely they do the same with J&J
As AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine trial remains on hold in U.S., participants waiting on a second dose are in limbo
For participants who received an initial shot — but haven't yet received a second dose — the continued hold on AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine trial in the U.S. has become a waiting game.www.statnews.com

Not entirely true. Sickle cell anemia is caused by a single genetic miscode in the massive human genome. A single error in a virus can make a huge difference. Fortunately, the vast majority of errors in the code actually make the virus less contagious or deadly. Most will actually destroy the virus.
Reinfection is most likely because the testing procedures are so sensitive they are picking up fragments of the virus still in circulation of the bloodstream. It’s also possible that some of these people were never fully cured from the initial infection.
There may be a few reinfections. Some people may have weak immune systems. It’s even possible a genetic variation caused a new infection. If so that could be problematic.
