WOW. New strain coming out of china. I for one am shocked. Some have this mentality that this is somehow a political agenda. Do some of you think maybe it's only democrats or is it republicans just dying ? In my opinion if you are a cautious person. Wear a dang mask, use a hand sanitizer, are be aware of your surroundings. Chances are your not going to get it. If your a fool, then you deserve it. Is the government blowing this to extremes, your dang right they are because it could easily become a lot worse than what we have know.

Well we do have the conspiracy theory that the man made China virus is China’s retaliation for Trumps foreign trade agreement, so we have that going for us.

First of all the Covid sars2 virus does not mutate as rapidly as influenza virus. https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0803105246.htm

SARS-CoV-2 mutation rate remains low.

Secondly, even if it mutates, that doesn't mean the vaccines will not work against the newer strains.

Despite its mutations, the virus shows little variability, and this is good news for the researchers working on a viable vaccine.

Furthermore, there is more to your immune system than just antibodies. It's a rather complex system. Even if a vaccine or prior exposure doesn't totally protect you from catching it. it may make it much less severe. In fact there is some evidence that exposure or past infections with other corona viruses, like a few which are known to cause the common cold, may provide some protection against covid. This may explain why some people have very mild cases while others have more serious.

Cases like this prove there is much that is still unproven hypothesis.

Shots aren't going to stop it ????????
Do you see kids running around with measles ? No. There is a vaccine.

You still have to get a flu shot every year, and even then it's not a guarantee against catching the flu. Experts (not random people on 4m) do not yet know if you'll have to get a China flu shot every year or not. So it's silly to compare this to a measles vaccine.

[Buford.Justice]

The guy said shots don't work for a virus. Go back and look. I can see how you interpreted my post and I should have made myself a little more clear.

I'm well aware of the success rate of flu vaccine.

Want to call me more names ?

We don't have that much time and space!!!!! hehe

Somehow a political agenda? You really think it isn't????

It could and did get worse when the GOV banned hydroxy and other treatments just because they worked and Trump endorced them. Look at South AMerica, Africa, and other parts of the world where those drugs were not banned. Very few cases.

Keep wearing your masks and the germs and viruses will have a breeding ground and recirculate your body.

But only when some wise people (roll eyes) like the WHO finally tell you masks don't work and are actually bad for you, will you listen....

Good one, guy.

[jr29]

Just do us all a favor. Pull your lip over your head, and swallow. It'll probably put more toilet paper on the shelf for the rest of us that's been living outside the fear since all of this

Hit me with more long winded, grandma style insults. I have thick skin.

Its not my fault you're dull and didn't enjoy grumpy old men. If that's long winded to you, you clearly haven't lived much.

We all do, except you don't even realize it.....

I look at you with total amazement as you live in denial by choice. I feel sorry for the clueless and total disdain for those that know what's going on but still support it anyway...

Ya gotta love the paranoid psycho weirdos who think everything is some kind of political conspiracy. I’ve seen these nutcases every decade since I was born. They’ve been wrong every time, yet they always think the next time they’ll be right lol.
