One new case of Covid-19 in NZ as new arrival in quarantine tests positive

New Zealand has one new case of Covid-19 after a man in his 60s in quarantine after arriving from Pakistan tested positive.

Imported 2 cases from UK and one from Pakistan.

Borders aren't 100% sealed, still only a trickle.

Turns out quarantine rules weren't followed either.

Social distancing collapsed a few weeks ago including in the quarantine facilities.

Couple went awol from them. Another couple had permission on compassionate grounds but they both had Covid.

They revoked the compassionate grounds thing.

That's all it takes I suppose.

France found some in late December, Italy has pushed back the date to mid December.

Coronavirus was already in Italy by December, waste water study finds

Scientists say samples from Milan and Turin showed virus traces long before cases were confirmed.

If you can trace it in sewage water odds are it's been around even longer.

Brazil is getting hit hard now. On another forum one if the posters from Argentina said things are falling apart in Peru our and two other countries in the region.

So early transmission and 3 months later things explode?

Well, it’s a small study that only looks at a part of the human immune response, but this isn’t exactly great news:

Coronavirus antibodies may disappear 2 to 3 months after people recover, a new study found

Asymptomatic people had "weaker" immune responses to COVID-19, and 40% of them had no detectable antibodies after a couple of months.
