Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with protection against symptomatic reinfection.
Please note for the poor readers (most people): the study says “at least” six months, meaning that was the resolution of the study period, not that immunity only lasts six months.
My estimate given how similar past viruses work is significant (in the colloquial sense) symptomatic reinfection immunity in ~90% of people for 2-3 years after initial infection.
China blocks entry to WHO team studying Covid’s origins.
That’s because it escaped from a lab. Why would any country want anyone to know that?
Trans women retain athletic edge after a year of hormone therapy, study finds.
My guess there is significant athletic advantage even post 20+ years of transitioning. Remember, high-level athletics often depend on very tiny (<1%) advantages. So this is a way to destroy sports for most women, if you wanted to do such a thing.
Did you choose tech because it pays well, or because you have a genuine interest?

Genuine interest, but it isn’t my first interest. The pay, though, means I went to tech, and I am good at it. Have been playing with computers since I was four.
But I’d rather be and I’d be better at being a:
1) Writer
2) Photographer
3) Sniper
4) Journalist
5) Script doctor
But unfortunately all those don’t pay well and one is extremely ethically questionable.
Think it is somewhat possible it was a dead spacecraft. If we’d had better space technology, we could’ve intercepted it and found out for sure. It just had so many unusual characteristics that would be hard to get naturally — though not impossible.
We should’ve been out there, looking at it, not cowering on this rock.
If the Senate does flip Dem — which looks likely — then prepare to hear millions upon millions of excuses about why poor wittle Baby Biden has no power, no power at all, and how he is still somehow blocked by Republicans at every turn despite his party having control of both chambers of Congress.
It’s guaranteed, and the “liberals” will be apologizing and excusing his multitudinous failures with no memory that just a few months before they were decrying the vast and singular sovereignty held by Trump.
