Uh, it wasn't "provision" of information. It was wondering, out loud, given the lack of substantive information about how survivable on the air such stuff can be. Big difference.

I kept my 2020 concert tickets for rescheduled 2021 dates. If I have to wait until 2022 so be it. I just hope my favorite bands are still alive

Speculative nonsense is still nonsense. There is enough scary, depressing stuff about this pandemic without making stuff up.

Remdesivir has been approve by the FDA for covid treatment. However WHO claims remdesivir did not increase survival. Who (which person) is correct?

Okay. If you say so.

It's still an open forum and a discussion thread occurring, whatever some might say.

skookum

I agree.

livedarklions

Open discussion also includes refutation of groundless speculation and even telling people they probably shouldn't invent things to worry about when the reality is bad enough already.

This is a pet peeve of mine--people who claim free expression forbids criticism of their own posts..

Making a vaccine for COVID-19

This explains how it's done and shows that it could be quite a while yet. I wouldn't start holding your breath now. Give it another 6 months or so.

CSIRO scientists publish new research on SARS-COV-2 virus ‘survivability’
https://www.csiro.au/en/News/News-re...-survivability

"COVID-19 causing virus lasts for 10 days longer than Influenza on some surfaces. Lower temps, glass, stainless steel and paper banknotes give virus longer life."
Keep reading for more.

And if you're interested in more scientific information about the virus, read other articles here: https://www.csiro.au/en/Research/Hea...es-coronavirus

And there's no guarantee that a vaccine is even possible. Unfortunately, there's growing evidence that post-recovery immunity from the virus is short-lived, and that reinfection is occurring "in the wild".

Well, here in the U.S., this has gone so well that I expect we'll all have a vaccine any day now. Ummm, yeah.
A good friend is in the business (vaccines) and the beer conversation is priceless. He refers to "making the chicken soup" when he talks about production and all the challenges they face. He talks about "arms" when discussing the clinical trials, like getting 30,000 arms and 1,000,000 needles. He talks about "working the bench" when the researchers are in the lab. My personal favorite is "often times, even though your sister has Mom's soup recipe, and follows it exactly, for some reason it doesn't taste like Mom's." Scaling up production is tough, really tough, and it takes time. Just hope they don't need a -80 degree cold-chain deployment into every rural county of the U.S. Healthy 40-yr old with no comorbidities? Take a number, we'll call ya.

Ivanka Trump is a genius

Don't forget daddy is "a very stable genius". The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I've read it may provide 3-4 months of immunity.

Was accused of rumor-mongering and providing false info, but was doing nothing of the sort. Replied as such.

Don't mind critique, even criticisms. It's one of the more useful aspects of dialog. Mind labels and accusations that are baseless, though, and will refute them as such.

livedarklions

​​​​​​

You're not even right about what you were accused of.

Clyde1820

False. Thank you for playing.

Accusation of "promotion of false information" is how it was phrased. Reading comprehension doesn't seem to be what it once was, does it.

Provision of such. Passing it along. Rumor-mongering, which that is. Same thing, basically.

Got it now?

livedarklions

You were accused of "making stuff up.". It's very clear that's what you did. And it's a very stupid thing to do. You were correctly called out on it at which point you whined about this being an open forum as if that's supposed to immunize you from criticism.

Your ploy here is to paraphrase the allegation into a strawman. Not playing along.

You made up the possibility of clouds of virus blowing from town to town. It was a ridiculous assertion. Own it.

I'm not gonna stick around and see 100 comments of clyde and lions arguing about what are they arguing about

I have True Information: Texas has many Beer Clouds but they don’t travel from town to town. The actual town produces their own beer cloud. Very interesting phenomenon that must be studied. Many people purchase of 12 pack of their favorite beer and start drinking. When 75% of the citizens are what us Beer Cloud scientists refer to as drunk. A strange cloud like mist covers the whole town and surrounding areas. But early the next morning a smell of hot coffee takes over so a new study is being done but funding is limited.

There are related downstream events. Literally. Typically amber in hue.

Yesterday, I had the first hope that the above comment will not age well.

One time where I really want to be refuted by reality.

There is a chance immunity to sars-cov-2 might be long lasting; due to the fact that there is long term immunity to sars-cov-1 (talking about 1, not 2) and Mers.
