This all depends on no treatments or vaccines occurring. People are stupid to think things will not change. We do not live in a static world.

These are drugs already on the market and showing progress: Favilavir, Actemra, REGN3048-3051, blood transfusions from survivors, hydrochloroquine, chloroquine, remdesivir, lopinavir, ritonavir, kaletra and aluvia.

The vaccine will take a little longer but the H1N1 vaccine went from Initial Phase I human testing to 65 million doses being administered in less than six months.

How about some good news?

The media wont report it so here is some.

-China has closed down its last coronavirus hospital. Not enough new cases to support them.

-China Death Rate Is Plummeting. .4 -.7

-Shipping And Factories Are Near Back To Normal.

“Shipping And Factories Are Near Back To Normal.”

I think it will take three weeks to see the shipping come back to normal. That is where companies start receiving their supplies in hand again to start producing.

I wonder if there is a delay for restart of American factories waiting supplies. The virus arriving here could add to that restart time.

Speaking of good news, I heard on CBS News this morning that there is one new case of the virus in Wuhan. One.

So if that’s true, it’s very good news.
