Covid-19 Outbreak of new SARS-like coronavirus (Covid-19)

Yeah the flu became endemic, likely this will too. But as we get a vaccine and humanity develops more resistance over time, it will affect us similarly to how the flu does, ie, it sickens and kills people every year, sometimes you get it and it really sucks, but life goes on as normal.
 
Exactly, I can envision 5 years from now having flu shots for flu season and coronavirus shots for coronavirus season. I would hope, at least, with vaccines and herd immunity, there will be seasons at least similar to influenza, maybe in the fall or winter when it can transmit easier.

But if you have the vaccine, you shouldn't have to worry then. I guess that's not how it all works though. It seems it has to be all or none ! lol

peace ✌🏽

goin back to the safe haven lounge. 😎

You're actually right. The mitigation measures (lockdowns, masks, social distancing, etc.) are just a stop gap to prevent large amounts of human deaths until the vaccine is available. At that point, the vaccine will be the most effective mitigation measure, making the temporary stop gap mitigation measures no longer needed and bringing the overall risk of SARS-CoV-2 back into acceptable risk parameters, similar to the flu and any other viruses we are unable to eradicate.
 
Then it's not like the flu.

It seems to have more potency but seems to mutate like the actual flu which seems to be the only similarity.

Weird creepy shit. Lucky for me I like to stay indoors and social distance as a way of life. lol.

Been everywhere I have wanted to be even though I am perfectly happy to stay in one place and alone at a distance as much as possible and when able to do whatever. Yes, and whenever possible.

I will try to send a picture when I can figure stuff out too.

So, it's a flu fine. How bout the broken economy. Where's the balance or how much longer do we predict it will take. It's been six months already since the dense outbreaks and clusters of biological infestation of death and contagion along side.

Okay, this is weird. Seemed to have affected certain area's more than others. Was it intentional. I don't know but it was definitely spread through people in big fat giant painful clusters from being too close and around crowded environments.

How weird is that. Isn't it supposed to be called Earth. Okay Okay Okay I will just stay away.

Keep your distance away,
And you will be okay !

Is that it ?

Aren't vaccines a hit or miss anyway wether you gather in crowded conditions or not ?

I used to have allergies from dust. But I just stay in cleaner environments and rarely have allergies right now. Maybe not at all.

I don't know if there will ever be an answer.

Maybe just try to do the best of your ability and that will be all that can be done.

Stupid planet. Bye <3

thought you were Cap but hey anyway !

Correct. It is not the influenza family of viruses and never will be. Two seperate virus families. The only similarity they will ever share is their mitigation risk has been reduced to acceptable levels with a vaccine and eventual herd immunity, and possibly share seasons and yearly vaccinations to continue risk mitigation. Either that, or it will die off, although at this point it seems unlikely.

Well, I would like to know how it started to begin with. It's just that it makes me sick whenever I do research on it.
It seems that it has been tampered with since every so often it is mentioned that it accidentally escaped out of that bio lab.
There seems that there is no vaccine and the flu vaccination is just a hit or miss anyway. So maybe this will be more of a priority because of the severity of it.
The flu seems to be allot of suffering, however this covid seems to burn the lungs from the inside and leave allot of crippling damage for many and also burns the system out with fever.

I have only had a fever once in my life when I caught strep throat from strangers kids. Never caught anything again after.
Now I have to begin getting covid tests first
Tuesday of every month if I want to keep my job.

I haven't had a test yet. I asked for one about three months ago and my medical advice was that if I do not have any symptoms to not worry about it at all. Now I am being ordered to get tested.
Nothing new, just moooooove along now. K.
 
Viruses evolve and make the jump between species all the time, it has happened many, many times before in history. There are many viruses in the coronavirus family, some of which cause the common cold (which is actually not all the same sickness, it's a bunch of different ones that cause similar symptoms). This is probably just one that mutated and is now causing a lot of problems. It's possible also that it was a genetically modified virus being studied in a lab that got out somehow, though I think it's more likely it was natural. I think it's very unlikely someone released it on purpose. It's devastated the whole world equally, bioweapons, I would think, would be more targeted. And if it was just some insane person looking to kill people indiscriminately and cause destruction for the sake of destruction, they picked a pretty mild virus for it (compared to how deadly some viruses are). No, I think it's just a ntaural occurrence. 100 years ago, the Spanish flu was a similar sort of pandemic, except more deadly. Pandemics are inevitable, we were overdue for one.
 
My first cousin just got it. Luckily he's one of my few family members with some common sense and has been social distancing from my older relatives.

I keep wanting to realize this. But I keep getting debated and knocked down.
It just such bad attitudes going around. . .

What if's . . . .

It's not that bad here but when it is bad it sure is bad. The only patient that went into the hospital died with it. Sixty years old.

...looks like social distancing to me.

...also looks like a shot in the dark.

You might want to try to turn a light on, if you can find the switch.

I love the pictures of political figures and health officials lately with no mask on with no context. They just did that to our Democratic mayor here, someone had a smart phone and patiently waited until he pulled his mask down at a restaurant to eat his food, and the picture went viral that he wasn't wearing a mask when our city common council just voted mandatory masks. It's worth mentioning, I suppose, that there are conditions for when a mask needs to be worn and when not to. I have no idea if Fauci met those those conditions here - who are those people, have they all been tested, when was this picture taken, etc.

Sorry, I've heard a lot of it in the news lately. Bad assumption on my part that others had as well.

He's at the opening game for MLB where he threw the opening pitch for the Washington Nationals. There are jokes with it, how he went 'wildly left' for example (I didn't see the pitch).

You're probably right, he could have been wearing the mask all the time and someone waited for just the right moment, but it doesn't appear that way. I'm assuming he's with family, whom he's confident on their testing and exposure status? I mean, who else would sit with him?
 
For anyone questioning my theory that kids will be left orphaned due to covid-19, it has already happened.



Beyond tragic; two Iraqi refugees passed, their three kids now have no parents. That's not a situation which benefits the kids. Even if the kids "get this, get over it, don't die" their parents very well could - how are they going to fare? The schools should remain closed.

Makes me wish I could have been a fly on the wall when his advisors had to figure out how to convince him he was going to lose re-election without a doubt if he didn't change. What's even more disgusting, is that he chose his own misguided beliefs about what would be best for his re-election over what was best for our country. He is just a truly toxic individual, and I honestly hope our country has got smart to his manipulations and he'll be gone soon. When he makes comment like the whacko doctor on Fox News is his guide, you truly get little glimpses into his thought process and the type of people he surrounds himself with to guide his decisions (think: Peter Navarro)
