If a changing environment/ ecology is the trigger for dormant viruses we're in the ****.

I find it difficult to believe that the virus has been dormant in waste water across the world and then by chance it was all activated across the world at the same time. More like the virus was deposited into waste water by carriers of the virus.
I've got no problem accepting the virus may have been around longer than we first thought though.

Interesting article in The Brussels Times LINK, there was an article about this in the Telegraph but that's behind a paywall, this gives you the gist though

If it was so prevalent around the world it should be being picked up in the antibody testing.
I read an article the other day that Tokyo has had 0.038% positive antibody results, 0.02% in Osaka. Spain under 5%. Germany has battered the testing and 200k positive out of 84 million people.

There have been more than a few suggestions that this was the mystery virus that decimated the touring England squad in South Africa at the start of the year.
When you see mentions that 80 odd percent of cases have no symptoms, and for a long time only the most serious cases were actually being tested, should we multiply the mid April numbers by 10 to have a better idea of the real scale?

Both my aged parents (92 and 87) had severe flu symptoms in December, they both described it as the worse 3 weeks of illness they both have ever had and my mother when younger spent 6 weeks in hospital with rheumatic fever.
My father 6 weeks into the lockdown had 2 stays in hospital with heart failure. In total he had 6 CV tests and was negative every time. This was in QE2 hospital which had loads of CV patients and has since had numerous nurse/carer visits at home although they are now over. They are both convinced they had it in December, Hacking/severe coughing fits, temperature swings, exhaustion and my father still has a loss of smell and taste since December, though this is gradually coming back now. It was suggested by 1 nurse that he have the antibody test whilst he was in Hospital but this didn't happen.
So draw your own conclusions as this will never be proved one way or another!

There’s been some cases where patients DONT produce antibodies. Or if they do they only last a month or so.

It's still 'could' 'would' and 'maybe'.
I personally think it appears to have spread around the World so quickly because it's actually been around a lot longer than they make out and went unchecked and only became a recognised thing earlier this year, imagine all that World travel going on during that period!. I'm convinced I picked it up in the US in January and know a few people who went to the Docs before Xmas showing all the signs but they didn't know what it was at the time. Andy Gill (from Gang of Four) and his tour manager became ill after touring China in November, unfortunately Gill later died LINK

You can test positive for Covid19 but not have antibodies yet. Antibodies often not present until the patient has recovered.

If only there was an appetite for a form of QE that could go directly to people who would spend the money and help create jobs. Fairer taxation of unearned income would be a good idea if they want to avoid unemployment but that’s not going to happen either, so there will be millions of unemployed just as we head towards the no-deal disaster and a climate crisis.
