This is scary only because the media is making that way.
Just heard...some virus info

That’s what I keep hearing. Lord I hope it’s true.
Twitter, the worlds greatest supply of ********.
I'm guessing you could shut down twitter and solve global warming. Its worse than cow farts.

So still multiple months away and they can’t guarantee it’s effective yet until human trials.
According to the Washington Post yesterday, their worst case scenario is nowhere near 50 million. Their forecasts worst cases were hundreds of thousands to 1.635 million. 50 million was either heard wrong for the US or irresponsible journalism.
Here’s the article that also states it won’t be as bad at the 1917 Spanish flu either.

If true, manufacturer that stuff in the USA...period.
What would you think if say 4000 people a day was dying from it world wide. That would cause panic right? Well that many die each day from tuberculosis and you haven’t heard a peep and toilet paper was still on the shelves. Imagine that....
If the spread of the new coronavirus isn’t halted, it could infect 60 per cent of the world’s population and kill 1 in 100 of those infected – around 50 million people.
My bad, worldwide
WHO lists literally dozens of these drugs, all in the pre-clinical trials phase. None of them should be saying with any certainty that they will be effective but I'm sure all of them are quite hopeful.
Yeah and the world could end in 12 years due to climate change....but I’ll take my chances.
So the numbers update (since my thread got murdered with stupidity)....
USA has more than 370+ cases while yesterday reporting 307 cases. The good news is only 2 deaths so far, but the cases are growing exponentially.
For USA, theres been 30 people recovered and 40 death. other 1602 active cases. Usually start is much worse for death and it should temper down...
I also don't see any drastic measure taken like other country did to minimize this, so i don't see it subsiding all that much in the near future.

like canceling just about everything? Those types of measures?
Yeah, most certainly is.
Only slightly ahead of this board at times lol.
That’d the the difference between those waders and thigh highs.
^^^ THIS!
But, by watching CNN you'd think that all 127K that were infected are now dead or near death.
Is anyone knowledgeable about whether there is a vaccine for any coronavirus at all? SARS, MERS, and rhinovirus don’t have vaccines and those are other types of coronavirus. So, I feel like it would be kind of surprising if something were quickly developed here.
but I’d love to hear from someone with specialized knowledge.

I've read the virus best spreads and incubates at a lower temperature than expected (48 F). Hopefully, with precautions and the weather changing the virus will dissipate by mid May.
Maybe I should have written the peak hurricane season in the Caribbean is during the summer months. I've gone a Thanksgiving week cruise for the past four years, so I don't take any chances....
True.
Someone at work said how wrong the tv shows/movies are. The TP is GONE first. Lol
I'll never see TWD the same.
I suspect I’ll have all kinds of crap tossed my way.....but.....For the longest time We have been Soddum and Gomorrah. We’ve degenerated into a civilization that has decided the Bible was not worth following, sexual perversions, Violence and on. Our politicians support the killing of unborn children and all forms of sexual perversion, all in the name of their own self interest and some follow them.
Maybe this virus is God saying that this is his warning, and the worse is yet to come if we continue to fail him.
The good among us will not pay a price in death as will those that have not accepted him.
Before I ramble I’ll stop but it is worth giving thought to. And no I am not crazy and without my own failures. But I’ve thought this and felt saying it was worth the criticism.

except that
there was more violence in the past
there was more sexual perversions in the past
there was more drug abuse in the past
etc. etc. etc.
Agree with the abortion stuff, that's ****** up. Need to get that fixed.
TB is scary stuff. Back in 50s my Grandpa was bedridden for a year because of the disease.
We do? That’s not what I’ve heard. There are vaccines being tested. But that process takes time. I am in the industry.
What’s your guess? I hear 18 months for limited availability for those considered high risk.
You just said what I said.
There are vaccines being tested (there is a vaccine)
And that process takes time (I think in about 3 mns)
That doesn’t mean I think it will be offered worldwide in three months, but the start of getting it out.
No.
1- that some are being tested does not mean “there is a vaccine”, which implies it works. Most vaccines, drugs, and biologicals that are tested don’t work and fail or are shown to not be safe.
2- it takes much longer than 3 months!!! Average time for a drug is 7 years. Even for rare serious diseases with no treatment options (where the FDA will work with you more), it is still at least 2-3 years. Vaccines can probably be faster. But I don’t think 3 months, or even 6.
Even once you are ready for safety and efficacy studies in humans, you have to design the trial, enroll the subjects, collect and analyze the data, write the report, send to the FDA for their review and approval. And then you have to manufacture it. Each step takes time. Patient safety in trials is a big deal!
I don’t work in vaccines, but optimistically I would guess 12-18 months. I’m sure some started working on this as soon as reports came out of China. And caronavirus is not new, so not like starting from scratch.
It won’t be seven years... no way. Book it
and if you need something/someone to argue with/about to stay busy right now; I can give you my ex’s number, she is a pro.
I take it reading comprehension is not a strength of yours. I never said it would take 7 years.
You implied it may take 7 years. Basically the same thing. Spreading more fake news.
