And I wish that I had eyebrows but we play the cards we are dealt.

Also a post besides the one that was moved disappeared last night. Correctly or not, I assumed it was you.

And a dart is thrown at an empty wall. The fearless can still know angst. Instead of being consumed they can master it and operate freely within its realm. 

True story.

BTW Re mask wearing and O2: 

Not sure how accurate but would debunk anti maskers.  Though I do think some folks get anxiety wearing masks  that can cause them to breath heavier making it feel like its a problem.  Still if you get used to it not a big deal.

I keep clicking on your video, but it's a still.

Moved a few posts into the politics club.

Again:  discussion of government responses to the virus goes in the politics club.

Can we talk about the vaccine here?

The link talks about different types of coronaviruses. If/when a vaccine becomes available is it only for this type of virus? If so does it become annually available like the flu shot?

I (a completely uniformed person, so take this with a grain of salt) would think  that the vaccine wouldn't be annually available like the flu shot. There have been Corona viruses for years, such that the majority of people in the world have had it before, and most have similar effects to the common cold. These did not require vaccines back then, and I don't see why they should now, unless new strains are rapidly emerging.

I'm as uninformed as you, but some years, the flu vaccine isn't as effective because of the strain of flu, right?

Basically, the flu vaccine is made with the scientists predicting which strain is going to be most prevalent. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes there's a couple strains that get pretty big. It's a guessing game predicting the spread of viruses a long time in the future.

I'll still get the flu vax every year, and I'll get a COVID vax if one is available, but I'm going to treat it more carefully than Botterill evaluating trade returns for O'Reilly.

Only one of those corona viruses on that list is the one causing the pandemic.

That is why they are linking it. It is the one that is prevalent. They don’t want to confuse people so they’re leading you in the right direction.

I’m guessing the focus is on a vaccine for that one, the one that is causing our pandemic but what do I know? 
 

As for the frequency of vaccination, how can we know until enough time has passed to have enough data to even judge how long immunity lasts. Unfortunately the CDC, from which you’ve linked, doesn’t receive the data any more. I won’t say where it goes now for obvious reasons. 

BTW. NIOSH, CDC, all great resources. Tried and true regardless of what the twitter monster tells you. Their stats have helped me convince many a young person to wear the PPE and be safe. Thanks for linking to them.

There has never been an effective vaccine for a coronavirus.

I'm not sure why I'm adding to this thread, it's been nothing short of a crap show for the most part, I've also taken some months off and just mainly lurked, which has been, refreshing. 

But this is some info, regarding the virus and treatment that was sent to me by a college, read into it what you may.

Potential treatment. Not much more than a hypothesis at the moment.

It's part of the government's response.

Wouldn't it be better to just say there shall be no criticism of President Trump?

The government isn't developing vaccines.  And criticism, or praise, of any state or federal government official on this should go in the politics club.  But thanks for your contribution to board comity.

... they are partnering with vaccine developers so this is a stretch considering they are using Billions of tax payer dollars to help companies develop vaccines, I would certainly argue the government is part of developing vaccines.
