This is a Glass Half Empty Good story about COVID-19.
« on: May 25, 2020, 05:25:19 PM »
This looks like good news because the virus is going away naturally and people around the world will be safe and can get on with their lives. The UK recorded only 141 deaths today, the US 454 and the World 2416. I feel sad for the vaccine testing but, the human race on planet earth needs some good news.
-------------------------

London: An Oxford University vaccine trial has only a 50 per cent chance of success because coronavirus is fading so rapidly in Britain, a project co-leader has warned.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Prolly have a better chance to find a treatment that works then a vaccine.

Still no vaccine for HIV and the flu shot is hit or miss depending on the year so our vaccine vs virus is not the greatest.

If the reopening does not create a surge in new deaths I think many will be concerned if not disappointed.

Way too soon for all of this to dry up and go away.

The Big event is still 6 months away....

I think we will still need a vaccine, I anticipate covid coming back next winter. Same as flu.

Rush just shared a staggering statistic.

1.8% of the population are in Nursing homes.

42% of deaths were from nursing homes. Mostly in NY and NJ.

Not sure who thought it was smart to put covid patients back in nursing homes.... I guess if you want to push an agenda it makes sense.

Glad this crap is coming to an end. Hopefully millions will be able to reopen their business and didn't lose everything.

Screw waiting for a vaccine. If I were to get this, I'd go straight to hydroxycloriquine with Zinc. I'll trust a drug that's been used for 60 years and for other diseases today rather a new vaccine that no one knows anything about. Unless it makes you immune to covid or any other corona virus for ever, (like Polio) than to me there is no point in putting God knows what in your body every year to potentially avoid getting it.

Take the old folks and NY out of the equation and the actions taken to this point seem criminal to me.

Isolate the vunerable and let the rest of the world go forward.

Wow that puts a lot into perspective. Amazing. Many people just don't understand how big this country is.

Or maybe to affect its economy negatively for as long as possible and then to pass the blame from the state to the federal level

Dont kid yourself, we have criminals in power who will do anything they can to stay there and to increase it

As I said, anyone who turns a virus thread political will get a time out.
