  1. Maybe there is hope for a vaccine after all? Stock market making huge gains. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/29/business/gilead-coronavirus-stock-market/index.html
  2. As I stated previously, a bad flu season kills up to 640,000 people annually. This virus will likely kill a little bit more than that oh a yearly basis.
  3. Wrong. A vaccine to prevent the common cold has been difficult to make, primarily because there are more than 200 different varieties of viruses that can cause colds.
  4. Coronavirus death rate is not that high, and I did not compare it to the common cold in how bad this is. Obviously this is far worse than the common cold. I compared it in a way to say that the "coronavirus" is constantly mutating. So we are in an endless battle with it. The common cold has never been able to have a vaccine for it, and thus as a result it's highly unlikely we get a successful one for Covid-19. So herd immunity will likely be the only solution.
  5. So the antibody tests do not work, the virus has mutated into 30 different strains, so a vaccine won't work. Coronavirus has been around forever, Covid-19 is just a mutated version of the common cold. Herd immunity might be the only solution. We cannot lock down the country forever.
  6. Yes, that's what the title says. 80% of the deaths are from people over 70 years old that may have died anyways (impossible to track this). Factor in around 15%+ from pre existing conditions and you have a very small factor of the population that is impacted by this virus in any serious way.
  7. Data that shows the virus was here far before any lockdown and death numbers are already likely in the 6 digits in the USA. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2020/04/27/covid-19-death-toll-undercounted/?arc404=true
  8. Going to have to sacrifice people in order to get this summers economy going. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.
  9. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/21/world/coronavirus-missing-deaths.html?referringSource=articleShare&fbclid=IwAR346Gl79T1h8GmqBN6WHiBUGzP9C2h6NBVRTiq84_4stv2XBTXiox-HWh8
  10. Around and around we go https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8257519/China-shuts-gyms-swimming-pools-country-battles-second-wave-coronavirus.html
  11. Yeah, going to suck with no concerts this summer. But everything else I believe will go back to normal. Typical beach days, parties, BBQ, etc... The worst will be Bills games with no fans. The best Bills team in 20 years and most likely we aren't going to be able to go to games. I was going to get seasons this year too. =(
  12. NYS will most likely start reopening process June 1st and outside of very large events (concerts, sporting events) I would expect we see business as usually by July 4th.
  13. Italy is going to start reopening in stages All manufacturing, construction and wholesale will begin again on May 4. On May 18, retail stores will be allowed to reopen, in addition to museums, exhibitions and libraries, While the government is aiming to reopen bars, restaurants, hairdressers and beauty salons on June 1. https://www.theflorentine.net/2020/04/26/reopening-italy-stage-two-plans/
  14. How many would have died anyways from flu/pneumonia/old age/cancer/heart disease? Impossible to decipher this.
  15. I watched it live. It's like I'm living in the twilight zone.
  16. Yeah, I can't vote for this guy. I love science, he hates it.
  17. Most of these people are making more then unemployment maximum. Can’t believe medical professionals are getting laid off during a viral epidemic. https://www.wkbw.com/news/local-news/catholic-health-to-furlough-up-to-1-200-workers
  18. #COVID19 Preliminary results from N=3000 sero-survey in New York State found 13.9% tested positive for antibodies against the #coronavirus 21.2% in NYC tested positive, which would imply 1.78 million people! Waiting for more details on the assay/methodhttps://t.co/cvkgazXB0Z pic.twitter.com/RiwLgWIOr8 — Andy Biotech (@AndyBiotech) April 23, 2020
  19. If the first recorded death from Corona related was Feb 6th in California that means this virus went across this country unmitigated for 8-10 weeks. More people then we think already have antibodies and would assume the majority of people are asymptomatic thus lowering the mortality rate substantially.
  20. The first death (so far) has been traced back to California on Feb 6th, in which that victim likely had it a minimum of 3-4 weeks before that. Who is to say that California has a large percentage of the population with antibodies already? Who is to say that NYC is the hardest hit area because the mutation of the virus was stronger there, not just because there were more cases there? There are so many unknowns. https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/04/22/us/22reuters-health-coronavirus-usa-california.html
