It has made its triumphant return.
From the CDC, as of yesterday:
.80 of 1% of the population of the U.S. have contracted Covid 19
.04 of 1% of the population have died from it.
.98 to .99 of those infected have recovered.
I wonder if that's with, or without the books being cooked again. My concern is hysteria causing football to not be played because of this.
My concern about a vaccine is although it may produce antibodies, how long will they last to give immunity. There are studies showing antibodies lessening over a relatively brief period of time after contracting the virus. I would think whatever vaccine is developed it would need to be strong enough to produce lasting antibodies.
It's a good question. From my understanding, test subjects in studies like this one are provided the most up-to-date information available from the researchers. It's based on several ethical codes.
For instance, I asked what side effects I should expect after the first dosage, and the doctor replied, "I have to answer that question fully since you asked, but I'll preface it by saying it would be most helpful if we didn't provide that answer. I do not want you to look for certain side effects to report, while possibly ignoring others based on my response to your question." I cut in and told her not to worry about it, I will figure it out after I get the vaccine.
Just a guess ... I think he knows it will take some time for the vaccine to be distributed to everyone, perhaps a couple months. He may be laying the groundwork to say "we have the vaccine but please don't suddenly go back to normal." Just a guess though

There were no vaccines developed, or widely given, during our last 2 pandemics in '57 and '68, and we survived even though the death rates were higher back then.
Solely in my opinion, the vaccine gets approved in late September and begins being distributed sometime between October and December. Greater chance in December, but I firmly believe it's possible in October.

Theoretically, yes it means those persons are protected from getting Covid-19. It has not been proven yet, however. I was possibly exposed to Covid last week and I called Emory to let them know. They basically said it didn't matter because I was vaccinated 3 weeks prior and it only takes a week for the vaccine to work.
I want any Cv19 vaccine "tested" on about 200,000,000 before I get mine.
because political factions have sought to take advantage of it. Led to an abuse of he told power. In this country there is no issue which politicalLly active organizations and individuals will not try to exploit. Government officials, including fauci have r helped by changing their minds so often on this matter, including politically motivated statements from these officials. That’s why people are divided and done with all this garbage
we now have no escape, we cant go anywhere without virus talk, politics etc. I wish these posts would be taken to the chat
PFE to begin phase 3 trial in July, hoping for FDA approval by OCT. CEO, Dr Bourla, says they can make hundreds of millions doses in 2020 & billions next year if no issues
I am not sure success is being measured the way you think. They are looking at antibody production after the vaccine is introduced, but that does confirm immunity. It could mean quicker response to the real virus, lessened symptoms, shorter infectious time, etc. Or it could mean nothing although I doubt that. The release of results is because this is not a blinded study it is more of a surveillance where something is administered and response for each person is yes/no rather than percentage response.
Well they are not going to make people take a vaccine. So take the non mask wearers add in a dash of skepticism of the safety of a vaccine developed in 9 months and bam you have 30 or 40% of the population who won't get innoculated. I am a mask wearer and I am a little concerned about the potential long term effects of something produced 3 or 4 years faster than any vaccine in history. I will still probably get it but not without a few reservations.
The only good thing about the recent resurgence is it will allow for effective testing of the vaccine; that was a serious concern before because of the danger that it would die out before those participating in the trial, such as yourself, could get exposed to it. That seems to be less of a concern now.
Just read..... again why I am an independent as I think both far right and far left politics are crazy. We probably can find crazy things/ideas like this on the far right too. My point is I wouldn’t lump all Republicans together because of some radical far right thinking either which the poster did. There are a lot of Democrats against abortion and want to carry guns just like there are republicans that don’t align with all things considered republican. I truly believe “most” people fall closer to the middle on most things and I hate seeing everyone so divided and unable to see facts/data and ideas to discuss and come together.

There are tribal denizens of all political stripes that are comfortable with suffering as long as the other tribe can be blamed and so long as they aren’t snared in the net. It isn’t new to this Administration and it has been accelerating with the influence of social media which highlights transgressions—some real, many perceived, and a few utterly fabricated—and ensures they remain top of mind.
Remdesivir studies haven’t been a complete cluster fock. Several large multi-institute randomized placebo controlled studies. Same for plasma exchange studies. Now a large hydroxychloroquine study shows harm in hospitalized patients. The complete cluster has been the refusal to listen to medical experts, and the politicization of what should unite us.
Interesting thread and I love fresh info and different points of view. I am certainly concerned, but can we keep these COVID and weather posts for The Dawgchat? I bet those folks would love to see it 
I personally question the validity of a "vaccine" for a virus. I'm far from any kind of expert here, but isn't the very nature of a virus to adapt and mutate. I mean it supposedly mutated from a virus that only affected animals to inflict this damage onto humans. I mean the "so called flu vaccine" is always based on last year's flu and marginally successful at best.
Can you tell me anything that can quell my fears?
I believe your valid concerns are valid. Only thing I can say is the leading experts continue to state that if we get the vaccine, it will shut the door on the pandemic.
Makes sense. I will post future vaccine updates in the chat.
absolutely spot on. Sets up good for stage 2 and 3 for some vaccine candidates in ideal conditions
There is tons of vaccines for known viruses
Lol people who use the term sheeple ironically are sheepleFauci don’t know sh*t. How many times is he going to completely tell you the opposite thing than he told you a few weeks ago? Wake up sheeple
I’m at Lake Merritt. You have no idea what I’m doing but quoting the newest catch phrases that everyone tough guy is using is quite hilarious
Best take on the deal, for sure. Couldn't have expressed it better, myself. Post Of The Day, IMO.
Were you concerned about the protests?
CDC says the infection rate is actually 10x than the number they’re throwing around. This means the numbers are already out there. Increasing testing will illuminate those infections. Most kids don’t even know they have it. The players reporting to campus are required to be tested. This is political BS and everyone knows it.
They had a huge gay pride gathering today in Chicago.
The major hospital in Houston, TX put out an unprecedented statement to refute published reports that were stoking fear. They said their ICU is at normal capacity, and that it was NOT near full capacity due to COVID.
This is infuriating. Total BS.
The irony, as I’ve observed, is that the vocal anti mask crowd is largely pro life. Have been having a hard time reconciling that in my head.
