The only dangerous thing about this virus is that it spreads easier than regular flu and it overwhelms the hospitals. Thats why current quarantine measures are good, so it spreads slower and doctors are able to help the weaker ones. But eventually everyone will get sick, there won't be a way around it. But its better if it happens over the next few years as if everyone got sick at the same time.

Different type of flu, still a flu. The vaccine might not work on corona either, it doesn't work much on regular flu, since it mutates. Vaccines for regular flu are made from last season flu strain, but since the virus mutates, its mostly just to make money to pharma companies, its not every effective(50-60%?). I don't expect wonders from a corona vaccine either. Like I said, I think we will all get infected at some point. Its better to work on our immune systems instead of waiting for a miracle.

Mar 27, 2020 6:54am

Guys, corona is just a flu. It won't go anywhere, get used to it. I got it and barely noticed. If someone close to me didn't get tested, I wouldn't even know I was infected, too. People with weak immune systems die from diseases every day, it won't change.

And yes, I am in quarantine still. Just for the sake of others.

Young doesn't mean healthy. There are many 20-30 year olds these days who have a worse immune system or more underlying conditions than 60+ year olds. Junk food, little sleep, stress, no sports, always lead to troubles. Eventually people always pay the price for it.

Agree.
1st: do we have a vaccine for HIV??? Some 30-40 years passed.
2nd: IMO, we all will contract the virus. Sooner or later. The thing is to contract it when health system (hospitals etc.) are prepared to deal with it. Now the main race is to build up proper capacity of health system (worldwide), and to make the spread as slow as possible.
3rd: most of us will be left alone with the infection. Better immune system will rise our chances. Just rise.

It seems to me that the fastest way forward is to test everyone, while Trump dismissed it.
With the easy finger-prick antibody tests fingers crossed they work. And-Or simple infection tests.
You get two types of antigens depending on how long ago you developed the infections, there's data there.
At least we can add some more substance to the current data, and then safely choose areas to open up and isolate those people currently infected.

Trump is in the don't test don't tell camp, he has an immediate other problem looming, unfortunately.
He's ramping up comments against his medical team again , who knows what next there.
The Uk also brushed with this concept but rapidly altered opinion thankfully. Still their days behind now.

The serial interval of COVID-19 is close to or shorter than its median incubation period. This suggests that a substantial proportion of secondary transmission may occur prior to illness onset. The COVID-19 serial interval is also shorter than the serial interval of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), indicating that calculations made using the SARS serial interval may introduce bias.

Our estimate of the median serial interval as 4.0 days indicates that COVID-19 infection leads to rapid cycles of transmission from one generation of cases to the next. The shorter serial interval compared to SARS implies that contact tracing methods must compete against the rapid replacement of case generations, and the number of contacts may soon exceed what available healthcare and public health workers are able to handle. The difference between these distributions suggests that using serial intervals estimates from SARS data will result in overestimation of the COVID-19 basic reproduction number.

It seems like people have different reactions to the SARS-Cov-2 (aka novel 2019 coronavirus from China) for a variety of reasons, largely due to underlying medical conditions as well as one's lifestyle, and sometimes with no apparent reason. This unpredictability is why it's so important to take this seriously and take lengths to create measures to protect as many people as possible.

"From the beginning they told us this virus doesn't affect young people. We believed it, just like everyone else," she said.

We don't know why some people die and some only get mild symptoms. Many healthy people who are in good shape just die and others with weak immune systems can survive. Your immune system can play a role but there is much more to this than that. There has for example been some discussion that your blood type could make a difference.
