Coronavirus Coronavirus: In-Iowa General Discussion (Not Limited)

[CycloneVet]

Gonna see what happens in places like Italy, Germany, and France over the next several weeks. All of their cases have gone way down but they've been on hard core lock down I think (although did Germany open schools?).

I suppose Georgia and Florida will be included in that.

Otherwise I've not seen much that it's slowing down all that much to feel confident in.

Sounds like China has it completely under control...

If things go right is a HUGE if in vaccine development

If things go right does not sound like HUGE to me. I will continue to follow Dr. Fauci and other scientists

Spain opened school too I thought. It’s going down over there because many people have had it over there.

It’s a whole hell of a lot more than getting a haircut. Tell you what take your vitamins, wear PPE in public, eat right, get plenty of sleep, get some fresh air, and I bet you will be ok

So much technical jargon, at least you remembered hulkamania epidemiology?

Lol ok, you have no clue what it takes to develop a vaccine for a novel virus do you, especially one that can mutate

They weren't even letting kids out to play until recently.

Just 'poof', nothing to see here.

Poor babies

What you say makes no sense. It's starting to go down because of strict measures and not because many people got infected there.

Yeah but if you say it enough times it just makes too much sense to some.

Guess we can expect it to pick back up over there then.

Boy, I just can't wait for the day when all of our hospitals are completely overwhelmed, all our doctors and nurses are dying from the virus, and people literally start dying in the streets. That will be so awesome, because well..... you know..... the young healthy people will be developing an immunity to it!!

That's the exact thought process of some on here.... and unbelievably Bill Maher too I guess. They might not be aware that they are promoting that, but they in fact are.

I certainly do have a clue what it takes. But companies are working on this like NEVER, ever before. And, by no means am I categorically saying we will have a vaccine by the end of the this year.

I have also read that it's not necessarily so that one vaccine cannot work for all mutations. This is stated toward the end of this article from Science Magazine.

Possibly, yes. But this is a great unknown. With effective therapeutic drugs and eventually a vaccine, a second wave may not be real bad.

CycloneVet finds the above statement funny..... that's all that needs to be said. I can't fathom anyone thinking that's funny.

Here's another very informative article from the NYT on vaccines.

*our* fear. Fear of hundreds of thousand or millions of people dying because we didn’t take common sense measures. We’re all in this together - you don’t get to opt out of society.

Well, not with that attitude.

60 Minutes doing a segment on rural Texas hospitals struggling to keep up with PPE and staff and room.

I thought that I wasn't a problem?

Because it isn't going to happen. The hospitals are empty, most of em need something to do.
