Singapore closed up like China. Reopened and had a problem. Added restriction after restriction. Opened up, had cases. Now they have an assembly rule of 4 people. It seems that no matter what they did, it did not eliminate the problem. Hong Kong is similar.

35 degrees every day here in the Philippines and we have a stricter lockdown (no online sales) and there's still a lot of cases, only reason there's not a lot more is because they're not testing much

6 deaths and 1300 total cases isn't exactly what I'd call a problem. Unless they aren't reporting correctly.

So they managed to have a .5% death rate? What's their secret.

British PM has been moved to intensive care. Seems to be escalating quickly for him.

You're smart enough to know that that's not NEARLY enough people to apply an average to.

Maybe no old folks caught it... phuck if I know. Too small of a pool...

The solution has been announced by Bill already, he said the crisis won't end until we have a vaccine.

They are now prepping vaccine passports along with digital identification. In the future, you won't be able to go back to normal life if you're not vaccinated.

Or everyone gets it and gets over it or dies.

Hey, as long as no one allows anyone from China to come to their countries, more power to them.

Pretty much. Now that's of course assuming you can't get it twice. If that happens, we are ****ed.

Looking more and more each day like this is something that just sits dormant inside you and periodically flares back up. Like the herps.

But who the hell knows.

When Spanish Flu hit 100 years ago there were the same comments made as are being made now - this will, eventually, pass and a vacination will be developed

I'm guessing the anti-vaxers will just carry on without it

It's scientifically impossible to vaccinate against coronaviruses. Period. Not something science is capable of doing, in 2020.

Woman treated for coronavirus again tests positive

The first confirmed #COVID19 case in #Jiangsu's #Xuzhou again tested positive after his discharge from hospital two weeks prior.

And your qualification, and the source of information for making this ridiculous statement is what exactly?

[phaz0rz]

Yeah, yeah, I'm not a doctor. But I've been studying since this started taking off in December and I've learned a few things.



(last sentence)

I'm dumb, but I'll try to explain my reasoning for that statement. Countries have been trying (without success) to develop a vaccine for SARS-CoV since 2003. Why would we all of a sudden have the capability of developing a vaccine for SARS' older brother, SARS-CoV-2? Another good example would be MERS. It has a ~30% fatality rate, so there would definitely be incentive to develop a vaccine for it if it were possible, but that's not something we've been able to do, as of yet.

Another thing is the mutation rate. There are already dozens of mutations after a few months of circulation, with 2 known strains. With it mutating so quickly it would be impossible to predict which mutation would need to be vaccinated against for the next season. But that's irrelevant anyway, because the very nature of coronaviruses makes them impossible to vaccinate against.

EDIT: Correction - there are already thousands of mutations going around https://nextstrain.org/ncov

Many studies suggest this will never go away and it is a new “flu” that will be here on earth forever and ever. Who knows right? Time will tell

[Bigblackdog]

When I was a child diptheria and polio were something to be scared of, they had been around on earth for ever - when do we hear of these now. We dont because of vacination - this virus will be beaten in the same way
