Car crap is all taken care of but, as predicted, my enthusiasm for a ride has dwindled. The service was going to take a little than I'd initially expected, so I decided to walk home (3.5 miles) and then I took the bus back when it was finished. The walk didn't tire me out or anything, but it did take the edge off of that I-need-to-expend-some-energy-or-I'm-going-to-lose-my-mind feeling. Maybe I'll take care of a few things around the house and then see if the stir-crazies bubble up again.

Santa Clara. There were 50 positives in a sample of >3000 asymptomatic responders to a FB ad. Also interesting was a >13% positive rate in women admitted to a labor and delivery service at a Manhattan hospital. Both of these are likely overestimates of the prevalence of antibodies in the population. The NIAID has a 10,000 person serosurvey underway too. We'll have a better understanding soon. All that said, there is major concern about the specificity of the existing antibody tests, all of which may cross-react with other coronaviruses, thereby inflating the estimates.

So here's a sequence of dumb questions for you and MoAlpha and any other docs in the house.
1) If getting the disease does not confer immunity, can a vaccine confer immunity?
2) If getting the disease only confers temporary immunity, can a vaccine also only confer temporary immunity?
3) If all of the above is true, is it likely that subsequent infections are less likely to cause the severe symptoms? Obviously this will be an extrapolation.
Because if this can be reacquired, a vaccine can't stop it, and it continues to play Russian roulette with your lungs... we're just done.

I can't see myself ever owning a folding bike or a mini-velo. That VO one is the best I've ever seen, but when frames start to get as big as I need the "mini" part kind of starts to go away...

2. Maybe, see above
3. Maybe
Obviously there is much we don’t know. I spoke briefly to our county health commissioner yesterday and asked if there is any sense on how long acquired immunity lasts, and she said they think “months” but we don’t really know.
I also expressed my disappointment that the health dept is not offering mass testing and does not seem to even be planning for it (which IMO they should), she agreed it should be done but said the barriers are all coming from the federal authorities. Sad.

I did not enjoy a single bit of it.
I don't think I've ever enjoyed a run, but I always wished I could.
Just curious - years ago in college I lived with a runner who also worked at a shoe store, I went in and she watched the way I walked and fitted me to a pair of shoes that supposedly would help with whatever anatomical weirdness was going on in my feet. How necessary is going through something like that for someone who would maybe want to get into trail running? I have zero interest in pounding pavement, but trail/off-road running vaguely interests me. I know that I'm much fussier about my road bike fit than I am with a MTB, is there a parallel there in the running world? Could you get away with a "worse" fitting shoe if the terrain varies a lot more?
