This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I saw a related study and commentary earlier this week by 96_ND

There was a study released earlier this week that the article may be referring to. I read some commentary that had a few take aways.

First, this isn't necessarily positive or negative. All this means, with what we currently know, is that the virus many not be novel for some people. So while they may have had exposure to a similar virus at this point it isn't definitive as to whether this will help those people fight off infection.

Second, if this is true this could actually make it more difficult to develop and test a vaccine. To be honest some of the reasoning for this is above my expertise. Simply passing along what I read.
