Now there's a conspiracy theory in the making. Nobody mention it to Trump!I guess that little Greta Thunberg brat is getting her way this year.

A vaccine isn't going to be available for at least June/July, and that is early estimates. In actuality, it will probably be at least 1 year.
Sadly both my parents passed away in the last few years but my MIL is still around and I'm concerned for her.
Also I have a couple drivers fighting cancer who are no doubt at elevated risk.
The CDC sent a NYC man without testing: Link.
Here's his story on Reddit too.
I don't know what's more scary at this point, the virus itself or the inability of our higher ups to handle this or cover things up. They could at least admit being backlogged on test kits and saving them for more extreme cases, but yet across the country it seems like there are people such as those in WA confirmed with minor symptoms...
There's no help for this really. Making a one or two hundred million tests kits is not feasible.
Erm, most virii and bacteria don't live very long outside of their normal environment. You can have a virus in a particulate of water/snot/whatever in the air, but it's not gonna live long when its temperature changes (read: drops), or when it dries out, or whatever.I don't recall if it was this thread or somewhere else I read, but the actual air in Wohan has the virus in it now, like it's high enough to register. That's scary as it means it can spread just from the wind at this point. Not sure how high it can go but if it happens to get to the jetstream it could literally go global. That's without people. Even a full stop on international air travel would not stop it at that point.
Wonder how they will go about cleaning up the air, and every surface in the city as even once all the actual people are cured, if the virus is still around people are just going to keep getting it. Do you just water bomb the whole city with Purel? lol. I guess it won't be as big of a deal once a vaccine is out though but they could still be a while before it's massively available.
Don't they continuously reproduce though? So while older ones might die off there will always be newer ones and they'll still multiply. Or would that process be hindered as well?
Definitely be hindered, considering virii need living cells to reproduce (that's a thing i remember from biology, right?)Don't they continuously reproduce though? So while older ones might die off there will always be newer ones and they'll still multiply. Or would that process be hindered as well?
the best one, in my opinion, would be the one claiming that it's somehow caused by 5G phone networks
But I read on the internet this one drives a suspicious looking rape van.Viruses can't reproduce without host cells.

Even so, you can't reproduce fast enough to outpace like, a drop in temperature from ~100f to ambient air (much lower). Everything in those droplets dies in minutes at most.
Trump is going to hold rallies despite Coronavirus scare. Wow. I would not be going to anywhere that has a lot of people.
Trump defends holding campaign rallies even as coronavirus spreads
President Donald Trump said Monday he thinks it's "very safe" to continue hosting crowded campaign rallies around the country even as his administration contends with a growing outbreak of coronavirus in the United States.www.cnn.com
My favorite conspiracy theory so far is out of China (I believe) and is disturbingly plausible in a tinfoil hat kind of way.
Supposedly underpaid techs in the Wuhan lab sold animals used in Corona-virus experiments to the local "wet-market" leading to the outbreak.
Cunningly combines 'conspiracy' with 'screw-up'! Best of both worlds.
Let Trump's people buy into his "nothing to see here". Since they believe everything he says by all means let's encourage them.Trump is going to hold rallies despite Coronavirus scare. Wow. I would not be going to anywhere that has a lot of people.

If we have a zombie outbreak I'm going to my basement!
