OK, finally some good news on the antibody front.

We report acute antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 in 285 patients with COVID-19. Within 19 days after symptom onset, 100% of patients tested positive for antiviral immunoglobulin-G (IgG). Seroconversion for IgG and IgM occurred simultaneously or sequentially. Both IgG and IgM titers plateaued within 6 days after seroconversion. Serological testing may be helpful for the diagnosis of suspected patients with negative RT–PCR results and for the identification of asymptomatic infections.​

Billy Jack is coming out of retirement to kick that governor in the head. While standing next to him.

My snark aside, the issue I think is access to state and US highways that run through the reservations. Not sure why the tribes still can't close exits and run checkpoints on the others when you come off the highway, but in any case.

 

"Billy Jack 2: Zombie Jack" would be a hell of a sequel.
A similar idea with Kangaroo Jack might be more terrifying, though.

 

Politico has an article up about other disasters the experts see coming, as they did a pandemic. Well worth a look. This link is to the segment on "Covid's next level impact", and it looks to be very bad indeed.
