    Good post AOC. My son was hysterical this a.m. He is a disabled veteran on oxygen 7/24. Seems Biden announced 'There are people in Europe killing Americans!' Took me a while to convince him this is an exploited elderly man. My son is a History Major (Suma Cum Laud).

    "Your humoral immune system can kick in if there’s cross-reactivity with another very similar pathogen. In the case of COVID-19, there’s evidence to suggest exposure to other coronaviruses that cause the common cold can confer immunity against SARS-CoV-2."
