So what have we got?

Covid19 opics ..

1. Reinfection / immunity storm topics.
status: still open. more visibility will come from widespread testing - incl. antibody tests. probably much more data in the next 4 weeks. initial antibody test accuracy in uk too low.

2. Long term damage - esp. for asymptomatic carriers
status: still open

3. Airborne or not
status: established that the virus remains viable in the air for at least several hours. open question as to how significant a transmission vector this is. moves in the west observed towards wearing masks at all times in public.

4. Other organ damage + transmission vectors (blood?)
status: still open recent isolated reports of brain damage as well.

5. Endemic - becomes a permanent facet of life
status: open. reports that cats can catch this lending credence to the possibility of this becoming endemic

6. Mutation risk - variants L + S + ?.
status: still open.

7. Incubation period - various reports
status: still open. isolated reports of 49 days effectivity. 14 days generally being used for isolation purposes.
