I dont think less then 10% infection rate world wide and less then 1% death rate is devastating.... would losing 1% of your client base in a a buisness be devastating... now personal losses yes devastating, but in the big picture of society..1% is notIt is amazing you morons have enough brain power to generate a heartbeat. This has been a devastating disease to both persons and society.
So everyone should run out and catch Covid to prevent Covid?There were, actually, unprecedented restraints. Yet, mutated strains have arisen in other countries and have become prevalent here, spreading widely amongst both vaccinated and unvaccinated Americans.
Any guess as to who the segment of the population is that is not getting sick or spreading the virus?
When did I say that?So everyone should run out and catch Covid to prevent Covid?
Not true. Natural immunity induces protection against several different protein targets (perhaps most importantly, the nucleocapsid protein). To escape these antibodies, the virus has to have several mutations simultaneously. The chances of this occurring are much, much lower.Yup. Nothing is going to prevent variants.
When did I say that?
From the beginning, I've said that we should have immediately locked down nursing homes/skilled care facilities, told the older or at-risk population to stay home, while arranging for food/medication/ healthcare delivery, and let the younger folks, children, manufacturing, etc go about daily business.
Had we done so, the economy wouldn't be where it is, children wouldn't have taken the devastating hit, and there would be no Delta variant in the US.
So when do we expect natural immunity to kick in vs the flu.Not true. Natural immunity induces protection against several different protein targets (perhaps most importantly, the nucleocapsid protein). To escape these antibodies, the virus has to have several mutations simultaneously. The chances of this occurring are much, much lower.
Yeah. It's amazing that something with a 5% fatality rate, 25% paralysis, and more than double that for children, has a different reaction than something with a .8 fatality rate, average age of death within a year of life expectancy, no proven long term side effects, and even more/less negligible numbers for children.I don't know how many "some" were. There was no mandate needed for the Salk vaccine. People were eager to take it and polio quickly became almost unheard of.
So we use the 2002 vaccine?Seriously
Nobody take a flu shot ever again. Louder says theyâre unsafe because itâs a new vaccine never before used every year.
Go research how the Covid vaccine (not just 19) came into existence in 2002.
Do we use the flu vaccine vaccine from 2002 ?So we use the 2002 vaccine?
And I have not said they arent safe, stop throwing red herrings out because you have no arguement.
I am saying you cant directly link the current vaccines to when they first rolled off the shelf/lab table. Hopefully improvements have been made, which makes them different from 2002/1945.
Stop being obtuse, you are better than this.
Covid 19 is different in that it is extremely contagious. Thatâs why so many die even though the % is low. H1n1 didnât mutate as it didnât have the same opportunity/wasnât as contagious. Covid 19 is here to stay based on how contagious it is. It will mutate over and over regularly regardless of what we do. At some point people will take their yearly flu and Covid shots. It might even become the same shot.Flu is a totally different beast. The different strains are not new "variants"/mutations (except in rare instances like the appearance of H1N1 in 09). They are variable assortments of known hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins.
Gotcha. Because a coronavirus is a completely new kind of virus. And.... I mean, why test it in a relative lull time when you can wait for a pandemic to roll out something new?Public records are you friend.
In 2017 the application was withdrawn as there was no active Covid infections and therefore no need for a vaccine. They held on to everything in case another Covid outbreak ever occurred.
guess what happened in 19?
If you think they could produce a vaccine in 8 to 12 months then youâre a moron. Hell, the stability study on the finished vaccine takes 12 weeks.
Edit: next time I take the red women to the infectious disease Dr you can tag along. I will warm you if you ask stupid questions he will treat you like youâre stupid
Wasnât as contagious? They estimate there were up to 1.4B infections from the 2009 Swine Flu; 20-25% of the world.Covid 19 is different in that it is extremely contagious. Thatâs why so many die even though the % is low. H1n1 didnât mutate as it didnât have the same opportunity/wasnât as contagious. Covid 19 is here to stay based on how contagious it is.
