Even if your unproved assertion was true about sars immunity conferring immunito to covid, are you claiming that it's an ancient disease among humans? And you still haven't answered for the invalid use of that graph on the previous page.

i claim its a myriad of mutations, like cow pox and small pox, immunity to one variant can cover the others as the immune system recognize and adapt to protect,

some dont evolve but those are sorted out in sweden for the most part,

the cleansing is all but completed

Herd immunity to a virus that didn't exist in human populations until very recently? How does that work?

the corona share similarities with sars and other chinese cuisine we have tasted throughout eons, our immune system are conditioned to deal with it

like a thai boxer condition his shins,

he doesnt need to kick a skull to prepare for the impact,

he used sandbags that covered skulls impact too, like a cow pox conditioning

covers small pox impact too

you messed up your quotation, but anyway, asians and europeans has immunity

ever since the day of the mighty horde trading chinese goods, plagues and pandemics on the silk rode,

a few herd members didnt have adequate immunity but the herd as a whole did,

we are the proud legacy of the survivors of every last virus the chinese ever exported,

its literally inprinted in our dna

The research on the virus is still at the beginning. There WILL be reliable data available in future. And as long as we do not know how long an immunity lasts, speculating about herd immunity is baseless nonsense.

Your death by day-chart says absolutely nothing about immunity and less than nothing about herd immunity.

there IS reliable data, you just responded to it,

the data show the weak individuals died off and the herd that stood the test carry on.

in other data i saw nearly all individuals died off was either over 85 years or immigrants from africa, again confirming herd immunity theory

Which herd immunity?

It's not even clear yet how long the immunity lasts after you recovered from an infection. New studies show a fast decline of antibodies which suggests it could be just a short period of immunity

As long as there are no reliable data, "herd immunity" ist just BS.

this is as reliable data as you will ever get, and this is how herd immunity is expected to evolve,

data match theory

I don't think so.  They were being very strict with anyone who tried to jump in. Just sit on the chairs. There was an older ( but younger than me!) Chinese lady ahead of me in the queue.  I told her to leave the queue and just sit,  watch me and when I got near to the desk, come and retake her place.  Everyone around me seemed happy with that. 

It is bad. I can't stand there outside in the heat so long. Wanted to go tomorrow. Will try next Friday in the hope a miracle will happen until then. 

my plan is to try to get an confirmation from mot's services (LINE)

that i wont have to stand in a queue, i have no backup plan, sad to say

You tube clips uploaded by random people are not "data"

 

Actual data, based on random surveys of antibody levels,  clearly shows that neither Sweden, new York nor anywhere else is remotely near herd immunity. 20% is about the highest I have seen vs 60-80% needed.

the graphs displaying new cases is data

is there any way at all i can pay money to not stand in a queue ?

I’ve watched your YouTube vid and it has only reinforced my belief that it is promoting a narrative that is rooted in theories that are not based on facts, honest use of evidence or science. . 

they are rooted in data, as they correspond with the graphs,

the cnn and the narrative they reported on, otoh is in contradiction with the data graphs,

in that video.

for example the narrative that regions that was hit hard early on are reaching herd immunity

corresponds with the rate of new cases that has dropped off over 80%,

while the narratives that the rally didnt increase covid cases in houston

and that masks make or lockdown a significant difference contradict documented cases

as displaced in the graphs

Yet the research says different.

 

Either way it is false to claim CNN is making claims, when all it is doing is accurately reporting the facts and the news.  

more specifically, cnn are reporting the narrative that the rally didnt cause a spike,

its not fact, its a narrative, the graph in the video from 3 to 3.15 contradict the narrative

So that is a report on research saying the entirely legitimate BLM protests did not lead to a spike in COVID-19 cases. 
 

That is a report on facts, not CNN making claims.
 

Still, good to know the sensible and responsible actions of the BLM protestors helped prevent a spike in COVID-19 cases.

data indicate it did spike after the protest though, at 3 minute

     Ok. Once more unto the breach.  The post I responded to said that you would need $80,000 a year income to live reasonably well in Thailand.  Since the poster used US dollars in his example, I did as well.  It made more sense to say I can live nicely on $40,000--you have the comparison of $40,000 vs $80,000.  It would have been a bit awkward to write something like 'You say you need $80,000 but I can live nicely on 1,240,000 baht.'  The 'overall message' from my post--I can live nicely for half-- should have been easily clear with using the same currency--even without bothering to convert to baht.  . 

yeah, agree in that context your post was using the correct currency

for an apples to apples comparison, i didnt read the post you were responding to,

probably because i could see it had no relevant info for someone not using USD

on a regular basis

That link does not take you to anyone at CNN claiming protests won’t spread COVID-19 as the poster I quoted stated. 

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/24/us/coronavirus-cases-protests-black-lives-matter-trnd/index.html

Black Lives Matter protests have not led to a spike in coronavirus cases, research says

a bit odd that entire countries need to shut down economy,

stop working, stop going out drinking or eating, 

go to the beach, and survey the entire population with drones so none

put the quarantine at risk,

but its fine to gather in the thousands and throw bricks on others property

Noticed my interest in anything sexual has really fallen in the past year or so, but as I haven't had a GF for almost 5 years it hasn't really bothered me.   I was very sexually active previously though and it would be nice to get back there if possible.

a statistician i know made a convincing graph that sex drive falls off at the same rate as your

attraction on the meat market, look at it as a bonus that you arent interested in that which isnt interested in you, natures way of balance for an overall less frustrating end game

  Sorry this was such a challenge for you to convert dollars to baht.  Other than that, my entire post was about LOS.  

the point is, who wants to go to a currency converter site to get the overall message from your post,

chances are none does it and figure it was a post as pointless as if it was written in another language altogether.

for anyone living here or are even remotely interested in the subject the local currency is better,

i rather get the local currency then my home country even, since i count everything in baht,

and the only times i am reminded of my own currency is on those occasions i transfer

No where in the world has. Far from it.

data suggest regions that took a hit early on are now close to herd immunity
