Coronavirus Thread: Worldwide Pandemic

[PoorAndDangerous]

My sister coworker got Covid

She tested positive two days ago

Last I was with her was Wednesday so I just got tested today. My mom and brothers got tested yesterday.

got a headache just off anxiety

I got exposed recently as well, and it was a few days after my mom came into town to stay at my house I tested negative though and so did both of my friends. You probably will as well. It was definitely stressful though.

Doesn't the vaccine have to be 99 percent before it can be approved? I'm glad it's 90 percent, but seems they still need to perfect it. Also, even with this news, it seems a vaccine won't be available until June 2021 at earliest for mass distribution.

90% effectiveness is very good and should and will be approved with that level of effectiveness. Governments around the world were willing to accept 50-60% effectiveness

The reason being 90% is so good is that even if for 10% that it doesn't work, the fact 9/10 people are immune means that it is very very difficult for COVID-19 to spread.as the train of transmission keeps being blocked and the disease fizzles out

This is when herd immunity works. the 90% being immune stops it spreading to the other 10%. There will of course still be some deaths in a country that has done mass vaccinations but this is the case with everything but it would be very very very minimal. A virus depends and thrives on having loads of people to pass it onwards but it can't if 90% protected

Thanks for that detailed info and insight, homie. Makes sense.

Um.....

'Mutant coronavirus' seen before on mink farms, say scientists

New strain. It doesn't appear to be any more virulent than the current strain, they are trying to get it under control because I think they would have to develop a vaccine for this one as well.

The wording suggests that mink mutation 'mutation 5' is harder for human antibodies to detect.

"the mutated strain from mink was less susceptible to antibodies because of the changes in the spike"

So it is not quite "round 2 with more of the same"

I'm glad that Rick Bright is back in the mix. He was trying to contain this shyt since January but was silenced.

Have there been any peer reviews of the potential vaccine or is it just Pfizer puffing their chests? No side effects at all and going way beyond the expected threshold? Seems to good to be true.

i mean it hasnt been tested on humans yet

Yeah, there's no way that 90% number holds up. The annual flu vaccines are usually between something like 40-65% and Pfizer just came out of the blue with a 90% rate for a pandemic that's swept the globe?
