This will be the forever thread.
When this thing first came out, and it looked like it was gonna be SARS-2, I searched for info on SARS Vaccines. I found a couple papers that specifically warned to use extreme caution before human testing due to high mortality in animals challenged by SARS after receiving vaccines. It seemed all the vaccines were failures. Hope they have that sorted out...
Depends on the binding affinity.
Low blood pressure is a concern in that case.
I’m just glad that I live in the good ol’ U.S. of A where that can’t happen here. /s
People, including some in my family, really need to pull their heads out of the sand.
I don’t quite follow the logic, it is as if some doctors riding skittle-shedding unicorns are somehow swoop down and save the day. They don’t get that while our healthcare is one of the best in the world, our health agencies aren’t necessarily the best. I believe the bureaucrats and the policy tie the hands of the healthcare professionals too much. Anyway, I keep telling everyone, our healthcare is only good if there is a bed for you. And this flu could have have 66 people vying for one ICU bed.
“For the 3rd time in eight days — & the 2nd time in 24 hours — Chinese public health officials made changes Friday to their criteria for cases,”
Yet again!
Yeah that’s what I tried to tell this person. 2% means nothing. It’s about how YOUR body would respond to the nastiness that is this virus, which has killed plenty of healthy folks in their 30s. Nobody should think “it won’t be a big deal even if I get it”. There’s been supposedly no cases of kids dying in China from this - but that does not mean it can’t kill children - we just don’t know. We must try and protect everybody from this, young and old alike.

Trying to move Travis infected to Costa Mesa... weird.
It’s normalcy bias.
Let’s hope normalcy bias wins the day this go around.
I have better things to do this summer than pandemic.
I’m not going out at all this week. I think this week is the yay or nay week of this situation. If we make it through this week, MAYBE we can breathe easier.
I’ve got a freezer full of stuff to last me for two months.
2% is huge.
In a country of 350M people that’s 7M dead.
Easily 100 times the number killed by the flu every year.
I think you’re right. This next week will determine if it’s here and we haven’t noticed it yet...or we’ve escaped mostly intact.
