So I was talking with one of the staff at the Kirsten store in Seattle. Very helpful and friendly by the way. He shared some information about a problem they are having up in Washington, and I thought New Mexico had issues sometimes. Apparently there are people that are having Covid-19 parties, where they get together with an infected person so they can get infected. Apparently the belief is that if they get it out of the way they will then be immune. As hard as this is already, I am just completely blown away that people would do this. My son however said that he is not surprised. He said that at the least it will hopefully improve the gene pool by getting rid of stupid.

I've read online that the body isn't producing antibodies for it and it can be caught again. The herd immunity theory really isn't going to fly here and those parties are only going to expose more people to it.

If the body isn't producing antibodies, I'm assuming that'll make a vaccine difficult to make.

It's the constant mutation that renders vaccines partially useless. That's why every year the Flu shots are only 50-60% effective ... it's a guess which strain will spread.
