At what point did you / will you take the coronavirus epidemic seriously?

Some pretty encouraging vaccine news out today. Oxford's vaccine induces both humoral and cellular immunity against SARS-CoV-2.

Ah, I see you are trying to shed the title of vaccine skeptic...

And some more good news from CDC. Updated epidemiologic findings:

-14 day quarantine can probably be reduced to 10 days. Infectious virus isn't found in nasal passages after 10 days of onset of symptoms.
-High-risk household and other contact exposure doesn't seem to lead to infection if contact happened 6 days after onset of symptoms. This is because the concentration of virus in nasal passages rapidly decreases after onset of symptoms.
-Reinfection still hasn't bee documented.

Did Trump vet these numbers? Or is the CDC going rogue again?

The last paragraph from this WSJ article pretty much hits the nail on the head:

“When I look at Europe, there is no single, best way: There are lots of ways,” he adds. “There is no magic formula, but they all begin with taking the virus seriously and not having debates about inane things.”

Basically Europe has somewhat reopened without having a huge surge in cases and every country has done it a bit differently. But what they have in common is taking the virus seriously and not arguing over wearing masks.

Yeah, why all that debate and confusion? People should have been listening to djt all along.

Plus, sounds like djt is going to start doing those task force briefings again, so that should finally get us back on track.

Yeah, SU burned me pretty badly when he dug up an old post where I was wrong about testing. It burned me badly enough that I’m jumping on the hopeful bandwagon!

I found this little tussle between moms on my local school district site to be pretty funny.

so basically, don't worry about what your dr says about the virus since random lady on the internet knows better.

What kind of idiot is he, anyway? "The Invisible China Virus?" Why not say Covid or The Coronavirus, like EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE PLANET? And it took him seriously 6 months to publicly endorse wearing a mask, even though he's been downplaying it this whole time? Every dumb ass we've ever talked to in the last 4 months who refuses to wear a mask is more than likely taking the lead of their 'favorite' president, who has managed to politicize our national response to a medical/scientific issue.

Don't leave home without your mask.... and your tape measure.

Im sorry, but if they're not measuring the virus in the butt, I am still for 14 days. How hard is it to do two swabs?

I really love how both sides use "the science is clear" as a mic drop moment. "Masks help, the science is clear!"; "Masks are worthless, the science is clear!"; "Asymptomatic people are not contagious, the science is clear!"; "If you are outside you won't catch it, the science is clear!"

Don't leave home without your mask.... and your tape measure.

OK - I was doing well up until the end when she shouted that - then I actually laughed out loud and got the woman in the office down the hall to come ask me what was so funny.

Good news everyone... Covid-19 vaccines are showing promise:

Oxford's Covid-19 vaccine appears safe and induces immune response, early results suggest, but more research is needed

Results from trials involving three different coronavirus vaccines released Monday, all showing positive results, with evidence the vaccines can produce immune responses that would be expected to protect people against infection.

They all also appeared to be safe, although it will take studies with more people to show how safe they really are and whether they can prevent infection.

Early results of a closely watched Phase 1/2 trial published in The Lancet suggest a coronavirus vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca is safe and induces an immune response. However, researchers stressed more study is needed to know whether the vaccine protects people against the virus.

Phase 2 results for one vaccine candidate made by Chinese company CanSino Biologics were also published in the medical journal The Lancet and early results from Phase 1/2 trials of the vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech were released in a pre-print paper that has not yet been peer-reviewed.

Here is a summary of some other vaccines trials.

Come on vaccines... BYU needs to play Bama!

I blame the climate alarmists for this.
