Yes we need a vaccine, but have we found a treatment yet? It seems most people recover on their own but we also need a treatment for at risk groups.

The main issue ..since its dead how does it survive without a host?
A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism.

When not inside an infected cell or in the process of infecting a cell, viruses exist in the form of independent particles, or virions, consisting of: (i) the genetic material, i.e. long molecules of DNA or RNA that encode the structure of the proteins by which the virus acts; (ii) a protein coat, the capsid, which surrounds and protects the genetic material; and in some cases (iii) an outside envelope of lipids. The shapes of these virus particles range from simple helical and icosahedral forms to more complex structures

The origins of viruses in the evolutionary history of life are unclear: some may have evolved from plasmids—pieces of DNA that can move between cells—while others may have evolved from bacteria. In evolution, viruses are an important means of horizontal gene transfer, which increases genetic diversity in a way analogous to sexual reproduction.[7] Viruses are considered by some biologists to be a life form, because they carry genetic material, reproduce, and evolve through natural selection, although they lack key characteristics (such as cell structure) that are generally considered necessary to count as life. Because they possess some but not all such qualities, viruses have been described as "organisms at the edge of life",[8] and as replicators.[9]

Virus can only be placed in the body like a poison, it's not a matter in the air waiting to be inhaled.

So anyone that's immune will get treated differently than everyone else?
:lupe:

Fauci: Coronavirus immunity cards for Americans are 'being discussed'

Fauci: Coronavirus immunity cards for Americans are 'being discussed'
The proposal is already being implemented by researchers in Germany.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, acknowledged Friday the federal government is considering issuing Americans certificates of immunity from the coronavirus, as the Trump administration works to better identify those who have been infected and restart the U.S. economy in the coming weeks.

"You know, that's possible," Fauci told CNN's "New Day," when asked whether whether he could imagine a time when people across the country carry such forms of identification.

I say cut all ties with China. If every nation did they would end the practice of wet markets tomorrow once it starts hurting their pockets. Anyone in the US doing business with them should be arrested for Treason.

The entire world is losing Trillions of dollars because some Chinese want to eat wild animals. Think about that life as we know it has turned completely upside down. Because of the arrogance and stupidity of one country. And it's not like they didn't know this could happen since they experienced SARS.
thats not even possible the world needs china it would take years for the rest of the world to have all those factories up

Exactly. That orange piece of shyt fukked us over.

America has let the idiots take the wheel and are not holding them accountable. That fakkit bytch probably will get re-elected because people are proud to be ignorant and stupid.

When this is over, China's going to have to answer for this idc.

And the CDC needs to be burned to the ground and replaced with something that won't tell people not to wear masks and then say the opposite just a few weeks later.
the cdc said that because medical workers themselves couldn't get enough masks and they were working with covid patients as well as non-covid patients, causing cross-contamination

The best thing to do is social distancing, when they found out people were still out and about they then said should wear a mask to essential places

I wouldn’t be surprised if some promising treatment is discovered before the vaccine

if it's gonna take that long to make a vaccine, we will achieve herd immunity much faster. look how many cases that there are that we know of. not to mention all the ones we don't know of.

No point in opening the country without a vaccine and unable to test EVERYBODY!

fukk around, have everybody go back to work and the cases/death rate goes back up.

Back to square one.

Like Dr Fauci said, life before this coronavirus ain't happening until a vaccine is available.

Sad reality but y'all gotta accept it.

Dumb ass Trump fukk it up for everybody!

:snoop:

u are crazy if u think the world's economy will be shut down til 2021.

people aren't gonna just sit by idly while the gov't tells them to stay in the crib while they cannot make money to feed their families. :camby:

I'm not surprised...it takes 10-15 to develop a vaccine that's SAFE. :sadbron:

Let's hope the 1 year to year and half goal is met. :sadcam:

That was good shyt.. But something in this passage resonates with me..


Revelations 9:

20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Im not even here to debate the realness of a God, but to focus on the message..

No matter what befalls man kind..

Once the plagues are lifted, they will return to their wicked ways..

I’ll an atheist but :wow:
