COVID-19 Pandemic (Coronavirus)

[BigMoneyGrip]

Honestly the worst part of this self isolation thing is seeing famous rich people on social media talk about their self isolation woes from their big ass backyards with basketball courts and pools overlooking the ocean

Getting all that fresh air and shyt

If the strain is different then the vaccine would be useless right?

Are antibodies of a Virus specific strain ?

What entirely depends on the epitopes your antibodies recognize and the sequence difference between the strains. A polyclonal antiserum usually contains antibodies against various epitopes and is therefore more likely to show crossreaction between strains than a monoclonal that recognizes only one particular epitop. Of course, there is evolutionary pressure on the viruses to accumulate sequence changes in epitopes recognized by neutralizing antibodies , which may drive the differentiation of strains


I’m studying biochemistry in college. I graduate with my BS in the fall.

Basically; it’s complicated haha.

I’m not nearly credentialed enough to answer this question. Biochemistry is a blossoming field in science and highly information dense. It takes many years of studying in this field to become well adept.

Italy gotta get this under control, this is beyond alarming what they going through right now.

I've seen a lot of madness in my life but I get the feeling nothing will top this. This is the major event of our lives. I don't think anything will top this. Some future generation will have a collapse due to global warming that will though. I can't imagine what going through that will be like knowing you can do nothing at that point.

Looks like the southern states numbers are leveling off and the Northeast are rising

I hope you're right about the leveling off part.

Keep a close eye on Spain brehs, it's about to be next Italy.

Our "leaders" completely failed us and human selfishness somehow overcame human self-preservation

This is what the climate change catastrophe is going to look like x100

POLL ANSWER that SHOULD be there...

"The virus is whatever, but it's the response to it and the master plan behind it that's a huge concern"

This is why I checked "none of the above".

Oh and 5 different versions of "serious" was a mistake too.

Here's a site that's been tracking the COVID-19 genome. You can see the timeline of the spread. Very interesting stuff.
