Other countries also wore masks and knocked down the transmission. We can't even handle that simple task So when I say "no easy answers" , I'm referring to implementation in our exceptional country filled with exceptional citizens, exceptional politicians and exceptional lobbyists. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far it's pretty mild, and the worst thing is just having no energy, and the inconvenience of lockdown quarantine. If it's the Rona, the symptoms themselves aren't that bad for us yet. Just inconvenience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, that doesn't sound good. Really hoping you guys get through it with hardly any issues. I guess social distancing doesn't work all that well. Damn it...

Shanedorf Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 comprehensive update on vaccines in development, a little light reading... https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2020/06/29/coronavirus-vaccine-update-june-29 This one below is an interesting approach because they use an intranasal route, which is the same route the virus uses to enter humans and it induces both an IgG and an IgA response Altimmune: Here’s another adenovirus vector, but administered via a different route. They’re going intranasal, and thus hoping to bring in a mucosal immune response as well. Since this seems to be the same platform as their earlier Nasovax influenza vaccine program, I will assume that this is also an Ad5 vector. This one is still listed as “preclinical” on the company’s web site, with such studies taking place partly at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. It’s good to see another technique being applied here; we’re going to need all the shots on goal that we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just inconvenience. This is literally what I went through the week prior to Memorial Day. I remember b/c I was pumped to have a few days off and I didn't even have a drop of booze one day that weekend lol. I was counting down the hours until I could go to bed b/c that's how tired I was and would sleep for roughly 10-11 hours when I usually only get 6-7 a night and am fine. I never got tested b/c I never got a fever but I had chills and sweats. Wife never got sick either. Was like a body flu. Chills, aches all over every joint, and extremely tired all day. Went away after a week. Had two strange illnesses since this all happened. Kinda wish I had gotten tested at the time so I could know. Oh well.... Hope it stays as mild as it is even if they're not the same cause! Edited June 30, 2020 by JTagg7754 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenos Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 In case some people were still blaming the surge of cases on the recent and ongoing protests: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/covid-outbreaks-being-traced-back-063004115.html Quote In Minnesota, where protests are still ongoing over the death of George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer, state officials have yet to see a marked rise in coronavirus cases as a result of those protests. The results are “very encouraging,” a health official told ABC News. The official attributed the low infection rate to “the fact that many or most protesters were wearing masks, the events were outside, people were often able to maintain a 6-foot distance, and any exposures were of relatively shorter duration, not several hours to the same people in the same place.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Red Cross who's offering it b/c apparently there's always a summer shortage? Thought that was their reasoning. I'm really indifferent about doing it for a lot of reasons. Sometimes I need to just get out of my head and go do things lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the sole reason? Absolutely not. But only an idiot would actually believe it's not a contributing factor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
