Looks like a vaccine may be in the works.

No telling how good it will be. But the same problem has happened with other flu virus’’ none appear to be perfect. Much of what you describe in covid 19 appears to be a much stronger version of a “super-flu”. I don’t know. Can we stop it from coming to many parts of the world? Probably not. Once again we avoid panic with ordinary flu year after year even though thousands die every season and millions,40 million plus, caught it last season.

Admittedly covid19 appears stronger,harder to detect, and not that much is really known about it. But, is it worth destroying the economy of the world? I doubt it.”

That’s been the dirty little secret, babies and children do catch this thing....many of them don’t get very sick but they can infect granny and a whole household. Governments don’t dare emphasize this. Word gets out about kids getting sick and the whole world will change, at least for western nations. Pregnant moms have been getting sick, not much data yet about what happens to the babies is utero but we do have infants in their first months getting sick along with their moms, or their moms giving it to their infants.

That little Iranian girl gasping for breath in an Iranian ER from what was purportedly Covid was a striking image for me.

The vaccine referenced in post 992 will not use any part of the virus. Dead or alive.

“ The vaccine does not contain the virus that triggers COVID-19, called SARS-CoV-2, and cannot cause infection, according to a report by Kaiser Permanente. Unlike vaccines developed for other viruses, such as measles, this new vaccine does not utilize a weak or dead virus as its base. Instead, the vaccine contains a short segment of genetic material called messenger RNA, or mRNA, generated in a laboratory. In a typical cell, mRNA encodes instructions for building different proteins. ”

This will allow a fast track.

I agree. The numbers are too low to get good results from. When all countries get up to cases in the tens of thousands, the results will be more accurate. When it really hits the cities is when we’ll start seeing numbers. Spring break, concerts, festivals, tourist season opening in a month or two for a lot of areas. Where I am, we start getting people from the city coming down for the weekends or 1-2 weeks vacation in mid April.

GEORGIA

Floyd Medical Center’s patient, a 46-year-old woman, arrived Saturday at the hospital’s Emergency Care Center with flu-like symptoms, the hospital said. She was screened according to state health and CDC guidelines, treated and released.

She did not meet the testing criteria for COVID-19 or warrant hospitalization,” hospital officials said in the release.The woman returned Tuesday with worsening symptoms, and after further testing, the hospital notified the state’s Department of Public Health, which authorized her release. Floyd Medical Center clinicians made the determination to admit her to the hospital, despite not meeting COVID-19 screening criteria.

Good morning.

I am in dark humor mode.

As I saw all the fans in the stands last night in college basketball games I thought that the coronavirus was singing:

Singapore:

Anyone who catches COVID-19 in Singapore can expect to answer a lot of questions about ‘where they’ve been, and who they’ve met’ along the way. .....If they don’t comply, people can be put in jail for months or subject to thousands of dollars in fines. 6 months of jail or a fine of up to $10,000

Night Train lyrics:

All aboard for night train

Miami, Florida

Raleigh, North Carolina

Miami, Florida
Atlanta, Georgia
Raleigh, North Carolina
Washington D.C.
Oh, and Richmond, Virginia too

Baltimore, Maryland
Philadelphia
New York City
Take it home
And don’t forget New Orleans
The home of the blues

Oh, yeah, night train
Night train, night train
Night Train, carry me home...

Death rates make great headlines, but the important elements of this disease lie elsewhere.

If the consensus claims are accurate, the health care system will be overwhelmed by very sick people who will survive.

These people will be so sick they will wish they were dead.

The test kits are starting to get out there, and by this time next week we will get a hint how many cases are out there—15% or so of those folks will get very sick.

In a couple of more weeks the test kits will be humming at full capacity—and we will get much better numbers of how many US cases are out there.

Containment has been a total failure, so fasten your seat belt!
