Reading the explanation, the idea in реки is that the information about the "softening" is contained in the е that follows. So it's replaces szcz-like rules with other rules, which admittedly follow the logic of some existing

I believe that can't explain the difference in the religious feelings in Poland and Czechia, both being in the same block during the same time after the WW II? I'd say Albania is not comparable, having completely different histori

According to Wikipedia, the majority of Czechs are atheists . Only 10% are Catholics (1) and there is a reason for that: "Ever since the 1620 Battle of White Mountain, the Czech people have been historically characterised as " to

Which could mean that such asymptomatic people could still infect somebody vulnerable, if they shed enough virus at some point of their reinfection. The open question is, again, what will be the percentage of such cases.

The article certainly doesn’t say anything about “people” at all. It demonstrates immune response in the serum, but not at all the effect of the said response, especially not if any person is actually “immune.”

No honest scientist would say what you wrote as your “nutshell.” Specifically, T cell response is not equivalent at all to “you can’t catch it.” Still all scenarios are possible: 1) you can still catch it, and still get more sick 2) you ca
