I tend to agree with you. Who hasn't had a viral infection of some kind so the millions of people that have been infected by Covid, how does this explain them getting infected? |

Partial immunity due to antigen similarity. It's why flu vaccines are still helpful even if they don't completely prevent the illness.

I get that but everyone has had multiple colds so why wouldn't that slow down the infection rate if cross immunity existed? |

No. There is a diagnostic antigen test done with this...

There’s quite a few other explanations I suppose but again it would make sense why not every person on one of these cruise ships didn’t get it And as Hamas said, would explain so many mild and asymptomatic cases |

Because colds aren't caused just by coronaviruses. In fact, coronaviruses cause a decided minority of them. Adenoviruses and rhinoviruses are more common causes, and there are a litany of them.

FWIW, the science is not anywhere close to settled on this. There is theoretical evidence to support O. City's hypothesis, but we don't know enough to either confirm ideas or dismiss them out of hand, as Discuss Thrower is doing.

But it would explain why curves go down so quick once say, 20% serological positives are hit in some spots even with people out and about and not have flare ups . |

Looking at Stockholm and how quick it’s come down the curve or atleast last I looked is weird to me seeing as they haven’t done much. Definitely some overshoot with deaths and such if it gets into the elderly like in bergamo and New York |
