Coronavirus Thread: Worldwide Pandemic

Not saying it’s a good thing but isn’t Philly 50% black? Which would mean it’s hitting them at about same rate as the city overall?

I agree with you, Im just saying it went from black people cant get it to black people making up the highest percentage as of now.

I didn't even know you could drive a train off a track.

@radio rahiem @Higher Tech make sense of this for me.

Imagine being a doctor on that ship just trying to save people's lives and then you see a fukking train coming at you.

“[The 44-year-old suspect from] San Pedro, was charged with deliberately wrecking a train during the incident Tuesday, which lead to a derailment and fuel leak, according to charges,” The Los Angeles Times reported. “Prosecutors allege that [the suspect] derailed the train and deliberately crashed through barriers designed to stop engines before grinding to a halt 250 yards from the Mercy.”

The CHP officer reported seeing “the train smash into a concrete barrier at the end of the track, smash into a steel barrier, smash into a chain-link fence, slide through a parking lot, slide across another lot filled with gravel, and smash into a second chain-link fence.”

According to an affidavit, the suspect allegedly told a California Highway Patrol officer, “You only get this chance once. The whole world is watching. I had to. People don’t know what’s going on here. Now they will.”

This is where bullshyt trolls like @thekingsmen lead people.

 

[FooFighters]

The fact that Fox got to sit there and take it says a lot..

When that class action lawsuit it their asses for lying about this virus only being the flu and killing off their viewer shyt is going to be epic

They'll blame someone else

[JBoy]

my state has the dumbest governor in Kemp, if these white folk weren't going to vote for Abrams they could have at least voted for Cagle (Lt. governor at the time) in the primary

 

[jj23]

UK health minister just wrote off 3 billion pounds of NHS Trust debt..


Unprecedented times indeed. This shyt has to definitely be scarier than they imagined.

@thekingsmen just negged me for this and said "don't @ me unless you want to debate."

As if I haven't repeatedly called his ass out in the "things @thekingsmen believes are hoaxes" thread multiple times this week and he's still ghosting.

As if I haven't already debated him on this topic multiple times and owned him in each one. Times I've had to correct @thekingsmen on coronavirus already:

When he tried to downplay coronavirus and suggest it was no different than extremely immune-compromised people dying of fungal infections:

When he tried to claim that Zika was patented in 1947:

When he invented the "if the number 33 is anywhere in a coronavirus article that's a secret elite code that means...." nothing apparently:

That's not even all the times I've engaged his ass. I keep correcting his misinformation because misinformation and conspiracy theories are DANGEROUS. Typically they're dangerous in a less overt way, by encouraging people not to take practical medical advice like getting vaccines or praticing social distancing. But here we see them being dangerous in a far more sinister way, by actually leading a guy to try to hurt people.

@thekingsmen is either incapable of logically discerning facts from fiction, or he's a troll literally committed to evil. Either way he's putting people in danger.

 

[FrostBite]

The sheer stupidity, incompetence, and negligence by some of these government “leaders” is beyond horrifying and appalling, and quite frankly should be subject to criminal prosecution. How some of these people are in charge of ANYTHING is unfathomable.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp says he didn't know asymptomatic people could spread coronavirus. Beyond a joke.

Pittsburgh scientists develop possible coronavirus vaccine, hope FDA can fast-track it | TribLIVE.com

A potential vaccine against the novel coronavirus causing the covid-19 outbreak has been created in a University of Pittsburgh lab.

Researchers say the first phase of human clinical trials — which would include healthy volunteers in the Pittsburgh area — could start in the coming months.

Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine announced Thursday that the vaccine, when tested in mice, produces antibodies specific to the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that could be enough to fight off the virus. Testing the vaccine in mice doesn’t guarantee efficacy in humans.

“We’re ready to initiate clinical trials as soon as we are able to meet the necessary requirements,” Dr. Louis Falo, professor and chair of dermatology at Pitt’s School of Medicine and UPMC, said during a press briefing.

In making the announcement, Falo invoked Pitt’s own Jonas Salk — the medical pioneer whose team developed the world’s first effective polio vaccine in 1955.

The vaccine findings are part of the first peer-reviewed study describing a potential vaccine, according to the Pitt researchers. The paper appeared in EBioMedicine on Thursday, which is published by The Lancet, one of the oldest peer-reviewed medical journals.

While human testing typically requires at least a year, Falo said Pitt is working with federal agencies to speed the process.

“This particular situation is different from anything we’ve ever seen, so we don’t know how long the clinical development process will take. Recently announced revisions to the normal processes suggest we may be able to advance this faster,” said Falo, who is senior co-author of the research.

The researchers are applying for approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Pitt scientists were able to build on previous research related to two viruses — SARS-CoV, observed in 2003, and MERS-CoV, observed in 2014 — that are related to SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus that causes covid-19, as they were figuring out how do develop the vaccine.

They’re calling the new vaccine PittCoVacc, short for Pittsburgh Coronavirus Vaccine.

“These two viruses, which are closely related to SARS-CoV-2, teach us that a particular protein, called a spike protein, is important for inducing immunity against the virus,” said co-senior author Andrea Gambotto, M.D., associate professor of surgery at the Pitt School of Medicine. “We knew exactly where to fight this new virus.”

PittCoVacc is different from the first experimental vaccine for the new coronavirus, which started clinical trial testing in humans March 16 in Seattle.

That vaccine, developed by the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based biotechnology company Moderna and the U.S. National Institutes of Health, uses genetic material that prompts the body’s immune system to start preparing to fight the virus.
