Herd immunity strategies called into question after coronavirus antibody study in Spain – CNBC

Customers sit at tables socially distanced from each other at the outdoor terrace of a bar, operating at reduced capacity in Plaza Mayor in Madrid, Spain. NurPhoto Covid-19 antibodies in Spain's population "are insufficient to provide herd immunity," a new study has claimed, despite the country being one of the worst-affected by the pandemic. In a peer-reviewed paper published in the Lancet medical journal Monday, researchers from Harvard, MIT and several Spanish institutions analyzed findings from a widescale study on antibody prevalence in Spain. More than 251,700 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Spain, while the virus has killed 28,388 people in the country to date, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

Patient Is Reported Free of H.I.V., but Scientists Urge Caution – The New York Times

A 35-year-old man in Brazil may be the first to experience long-term remission from H.I.V. after treatment with only a specially designed cocktail of antiviral drugs, researchers said on Tuesday. Just two people have been confirmed cured of H.I.V. so far, both after risky treatments involving bone-marrow transplants for their cancers. The Brazilian patient, who was not identified, has not shown signs of lingering H.I.V. infection in blood tests that detect the virus, according to investigators at the Federal University of Sao Paulo, a prestigious research institution. He also does not seem to have detectable antibodies to the virus. “Although still an isolated case, this might represent the first long-term H.I.V. remission” without a bone-marrow transplant, the scientists said. They pres...

Illinois’ rate, at 11.5 beds occupied per 100,000 residents, is not much lower than those in other states in the headlines now, such as California at 17, though it is still far less than Arizona’s 40. One caveat: Three states haven’t consistently reported hospitalization data, including Florida, which is seeing a major surge in reported cases.

Napa County may be next in line to close restaurants, bars – San Francisco Chronicle
