    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    While the recent news about the vaccine from Pfizer was great, just a reminder that that it will be *months* before any vaccine will be available, as hundreds of millions of doses have to be manufactured and shipped across the country, and the world, before it can get provided to you.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    I am convinced that about 80% of what you see and write about takes place only in your head, and has no logical basis in reality. (And I'm not fully confident about the remaining 20%, tbh). I would not be writing in this thread if I wasn't trying to convince people of the seriousness of...

    That is good news, and should help your country as you head into the colder months (though your summer is still coming up!). Taking early, decisive action and showing leadership definitely pays off. Taiwan is another example of where following established public health protocols has paid...

    That's interesting...from what we know about other coronaviruses (as well as the little we know about COVID-19, specifically) it will likely get worse in the winter. The mechanism of action seems to be a combination of a) the virus getting worse or spreading more effectively in cold, dry...

    Interesting, because this was the top of the news yesterday in the USA: https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-joe-biden-donald-trump-pandemics-virus-outbreak-03de71eecbb9a605b1efc324cdeb3a5e I thought that would definitely be news to the other countries that are controlling the virus.
