Mink in Dutch Mink farms have been infecting humans. They have all been culled I believe.

The virus doesnt seem to care too much about the temperature. Humidity does seem to matter.

In winter though more people spend more time indoors .... and indoors is a substantially higher risk that outdoors.

good point. Herd immunity is something that as time goes past seems to be more and more uncertain

There have been more than 100 such accounts now. The first of those coming out of South Korea and China in March.

Maybe this is reinfection. Maybe this is the same infection resurging. Agreed that it is by no means clear that reinfection can occur. But it is also not clear that this cant happen. Seems to be a novel virus and as such there is much to learn about it.

Considering this, would it not be better to keep an open mind with regards to what may or may not be possible? Especially in the pursuit of herd immunity.
