The rhesus monkeys were successfully infected, as measured by weight loss, viral replication mainly in the nose, pharynx, lung, and gut, as well as moderate interstitial pneumonia.
Two of the three remaining monkeys were rechallenged at 29 days post-infection with the same dose of the SARS-CoV-2 strain. One monkey was untreated and monitored as a control.
The team measured the amount of virus in the monkeys at five days post-reinfection. The viral loads in 96 nasopharyngeal and anal swabs tested negative.
One of the two reexposed monkeys was euthanized to analyze the viral replication and histological changes. No viral replication in all tissues was observed.
Further, these data suggest that primary SARS-CoV-2 infection could protect from subsequent exposures

I wonder if chicken (COVID) pox parties will be all the rage in 2020.
All we need is some genius like Gwyneth Patrow to get this thing moving.
But seriously, allowing it to spread in the healthy population, while protecting those who are at a heightened risk for an extended period of time might be a sensable alternative to crushing the world economy.
Problem is, big pharma would missout on all that sweet, sweet vaccine moolah, and the news goons would miss out on that sweet, sweet fear and division that makes them salivate
Wating for the new Goop toothpaste/enema fortified with avacado and COVID-19.

There are 60,000,000 Americans over 65. That's the entirety of what you'd be quarantining...
That leaves 305,000,000 Americans to get infected. If 70% of those get infected, that's 213,500,000 positive cases.
20% of people 18-45 need medical attention. That's 42,000,000 hospital visits. 10% of those will need intubation...
That's 4,200,000 icu patients.
It isn't just about the direct mortality rates.

Pretty sure there is a formula for all the tested VS all the infected that you could extrapolate the numbers of those already infected but not feeling or showing symptoms since you are so good with the calculations LOL.

Where t= time
DSDT:
D: (t,S,I,R)= -A·S·I
I: (t,S,I,R)= +A·S·I - RR·I
R: (t,S,I,R)= RR·I
Where:
N =1
I = currently estimated infected
S = never-infected
R = Recovered
A = transmission rate (thought now to be 2.8-3.4)
RR = Recovery Rate
I'm sure you've got it from here?...
