Is there any evidence to the contrary. This joker Tedros is 2 faced liar. Can't trust his statement completely. He is trying to compel the world to stay locked down so that the world becomes even more dependent on China which is the only economy open now.

Herd immunity is a biological phenomenon that tends to happen to a group of people. It's not a Government welfare scheme where you can opt out of, if you don't like it! Corona is not the first pathogenic disease neither it will be the last where a certain set of recovered patients tend to get reinfected again with the same pathogen.But only a small percentage of recovered people tends to get reinfected. Moreover the severity of this reinfection is mostly mild to less as the certain individuals already have attained the immunity against that pathogen.

Tiruppur units eye $2-billion opportunity from PPE business

ET Bureau | Last Updated: Apr 21, 2020, 11.47 PM IST


Chennai: South India’s cotton knitwear capital, Tiruppur, is struggling to step up production as demand for personal protection equipment such as masks and bodysuits has thrown up a $2 billion worth business opportunity this fiscal year.

About 200 units in this in Tamil Nadu town currently make personal protective equipment (PPE), mostly to serve needs within India. Industry body Tiruppur Exporters Association has been pushing them to improvise on products to meet global standards.

“As of now, we are only supplying within India but once we get the technology and the export market opens up, there is a vast potential to scale up,” exporters association general secretary TR Vijaya Kumar told ET. He estimates this to be a Rs 10,000-15,000 crore revenue opportunity this year alone.

Meanwhile, the magnitude of the coronavirus outbreak in the US and Europe and its impact on the economies have left the exporters here worried, as those are their biggest markets. “We are yet to receive payment for many of our previous shipments,” Kumar said.

The garment cluster manufactures textiles worth Rs 60,000 crore a year for exports and domestic markets.
The knitwear industry here has provided jobs to about 8 lakh people, half of whom are migrants. Local executives said they were managing their units with just about three lakh people now, as the rest have gone home when the lockdown was clamped.

"We started manufacturing PPE in December, but ever since the Covid-19 outbreak in India, we shifted our entire focus on stepping up production of PPEs," Honeywell Creation founder S Ravichandran said. "As of now we manufacture masks and bodysuits, but in about 15-20 days we will be looking at manufacturing PPE kits that will include goggles, gloves and so on."

His unit can manufacture 2 lakh masks a day and once it receives the go-ahead for the kits, it has the capacity to produce around 10,000 kits per day, he added.

There are innovations underway to see how the masks can be made more user-friendly. Frequent usage of disposable masks is not viable as contamination is worrying. That the face masks that are mostly used contain polypropylene procured from China has added to concerns.

In order to address this, an incubation centre for textiles and apparels in Tiruppur is trying to develop a reusable, biodegradable, antibacterial facemask. “It will be a cotton, three-layered mask,” said S Periasamy, the chief executive of the centre that is supported by the Atal Innovation Mission.

"Unlike the existing three-layer mask, the reusable mask will be developed with the outermost layer being water repellent and anti-viral, the middle layer filtering the virus and the innermost layer will be finished in a way that provides comfort to the mask wearer," he said.

Nope Plasma therapy still is one of the few promising aspects to fight COVID-19 Antibodies will still be present in the plasma of the recovered individual even if he gets re-infected again(mostly mild to none severity).The only thing here is this testing of therapy will need a significant set of patients and time to show how effective is it which unfortunately we lack.

As per studies done until now. Virus traces can remain for upto 2 weeks in the recovered patients.

Lobby will use it to siphon off the money and suddenly we will see a spike in the cases of chinese virus on records...ya know the drill!!

Also going by what we have seen these kind will take the money and then they will infect others. ( so that others can also make money...just social service you see)

providing money is never a good incentive ..it actually ruins the behavior..
never bribe kids and citizens of a nation with money...both will blow back on the face.

Why should we give money..? If those who recovered want to live they better sit at home...and them catching another round of chinese virus is very high as their immunity is below par and still have weak viruses in them

ccp virus recovered patients cannot get re-infected i thought? they become immune to it, etc etc?

They do..but till they attain their peak immunity the condition can relapse...as in case of any infectious disease.
Once they leave the hospital after treatment... they need to really sit tight and boost their immunity in a major way.. also they will still be under medication for some time into the future too post they are send off from hospital.
