NON_POLITICAL China Coronavirus THREAD

[ch33zw1z]

I didn't call anyone any name or used insult in my original post as he attacked me for no reason.

CZero and Wilco had different opinions (see above in this page) but you don't see either of them called the other as "idiot", right? That's how to debate IMO.

If he quoted my post and said something like "hey Svnla, you are wrong about what you just said because.... a)....b)...and/or c)" then I would not have any problem with it.

You want people to spoon feed you why you're an idiot? lol

You guys are both the turds in the punch bowl that is this thread.

lol, come on in, the water's fine.

 

[Svnla]

You want people to spoon feed you why you're an idiot? lol

So nothing but name calling from you. LOL. Still waiting for you to point out what I said/my link from my original post as wrong/invalid. Take you time, cupcake.

Burden of proof is on the accuser - eskimo.

Again, this is how an idiot would reply.

My coworker's wife's family has been crushed by COVID19. Her aunt died, then her grandmother and now her father is in the hospital with it. All of them live in Miami area.

Let get back on topic, MN is in trouble with the virus.

Minnesota breaks daily record for virus cases and deaths

Several NFL teams are having issues. Hopefully it won't spread to other teams.

Dolphins, Falcons, Bengals announce positive COVID-19 tests; Packers rookie tests positive

Toilet paper and paper towels could be out again ,especially during the holiday season?

13 Items That Will Sell Out Fast This Christmas

Well 120K cases today. Real infections are probably 4 to 5 times that.

Keep hearing stories about people contracting at family gatherings. I think that's driving the spread now far more than anything so reclosings are likely of limited value in places the high spread venues are already shut or dramatically limited in capacity. Closing down retail or stuff like that isn't going to help a lot. People need to mask up, stop gathering, and take the recommended precautions.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I sure hope we don't end up having tons of restrictions on Christmas and not even being able to see family. People need to start thinking about that and reduce going out as much as possible.

Yep, already started stocking the shelves with essentials, they got me on the bidet tho, not buying one of those

Meh, I think we need to tone down our tradition obsessed culture anyways, not exactly thrilled about it being this way. But, I think people should just accept that the norms won't be happening in many places. My family and wife's have been, because we want each to survive. It's all about biding time to the vaccine.

Honestly, I'm more than happy to have a good excuse not to be around certain members of my family especially this year. I have to work Turkey Day, X-mas/eve, and NYE/NYD as well, so I get paid to have a good excuse not to deal with that shit!

 

[Ajay]

I’ll miss our family gatherings. I get along very my family and my in-laws. Plus my nephew is in a serious relationship with a nice young woman who I haven’t met yet. Not seeing my nieces and nephews has been the hardest part of COVID.

 

[ponyo]

I used Covid as convenient excuse not to host family/relative annual Christmas party this year. It was our turn to host and I rather not deal with the headache or the potential virus risk. So I recommended we cancel this year and retry next year. Everyone agreed, but I'm wondering if people were secretly glad the party was canceled because they didn't want to come anyway.

Anyone wanna vape their vaccine?

Nasal spray might prevent COVID-19 infections

Early tests have shown that a nasal spray prevents COVID-19 infections, potentially offering a more accessible defense against the virus.

Looks like we hit a milestone in my area, we are at 100 total cases now.

Porcupine Health Unit reports 100th COVID case Friday

Someone in Timmins has tested positive for COVID-19, marking the 100th case in the coverage area of the Porcupine Health Unit.

Heh... they're probably tired of listening to you gloat about your Tesla stock gains anyway

Here in Connecticut, visiting relatives for Thanksgiving and Christmas is basically cancelled. They aren't letting people travel outside the state without having to quarantine for two weeks or taking a COVID test after you get back.

MA is the same. Probably just gonna ask relatives to either forego gifts, or do gift cards this year. Foregone gifts is fine with me

This is good news, although Trump fans are probably wondering why they didn't announce preliminary results two weeks earlier:

Dr. Albert Bourla, chairman and CEO of Pfizer, hailed the development as a "great day for science and humanity."

Interesting tho, 2 dose schedule and 28 days to effectiveness. Can I assume it's like any other vaccine and you should be symptom free while going thru inoculation? I'm not "poo poo-ing" it at all, just curious what to expect

 

[K1052]

What an extraordinary achievement by BioNTech/Pfizer.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

As above but different link. This is good news. Appears it is based upon two shots. Second shot seems to give near immediate results

Pfizer says early analysis shows its Covid-19 vaccine is more than 90% effective | CNN

Drugmaker Pfizer said Monday an early look at data from its coronavirus vaccine shows it is more than 90% effective -- a much better than expected efficacy if the trend continues.

www.cnn.com

Apparently 90% effectiveness is virtually unheard of.

DSMB told the company Sunday afternoon. Nothing nefarious going on.

Though I see they (campaign) are trying to take credit now. Pfizer didn't take any R&D money from the government, did it all themselves. The government just wrote a contract for doses if it worked.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Wow. That's incredibly good news.

 

[ponyo]

Oh YES! Hallelujah! I woke up at 4 am this morning to check the stock premarket and then went back to sleep. I just woke up now to check the news and saw the awesome news about the Pfizer vaccine! YES! YES! YES!

There's a light at the end of this tunnel. Biden wins and Trump is kicked out and we get an highly effective vaccine! What a glorious day for America and the world! I might be able to travel again.

 

[Ajay]

Thank God! I know this is preliminary, partially unblinded data, but damn, this is awesome news! 90% is a game changer. More people will likely receive the vaccine given the efficacy (rather than waiting for something better). This is high enough too limit the community spread by anti-vaxxers. I have so much more hope that we can cripple this virus over the next 12-18 months. We won’t eliminate it, but we will be able to return to a largely normal life and get our economy moving again.

I really appreciate the talent and hard work of the medical doctors and scientists who lead the charge here!
