A Vaccine Is Coming

4 Comments

…and it will work.

But not in time to prevent everything that’s happening right now.

Also, a cure is in the works, but again, not soon enough to prevent all the economic destruction.

Faster, please.

Did the virus originate in a Chinese lab, and why is it crazy to ask?

I don’t think it is, which is not to say that I (yet) believe it did.

[Update a while later]

Ignoring the rant at the end, I wonder if this is for real?

I take it somewhat seriously because Patricia had it done to prepare her for a surgery a few months ago, and it did seem to help. It only costs a hundred bucks or so (she paid out of pocket), but I don’t know how capable we are of ramping it up.

[Update late morning]

How permanent will the changes to the healthcare industry be?

Some of the regulatory relief should certainly remain. I expect to see a lot more telemedicine, which is all to the good.

[Afternoon update]

A new flu inhibitor? Unfortunately, while promising, it too won’t help with the current crisis.

  1. Did the virus originate in a Chinese lab, and why is it crazy to ask?

    What’s the evidence? It appears the only evidence presently is that there’s a lab nearby (by that I mean kilometers nearby not hundreds of yards).

    1. The bats which supposedly spawned this disease apparently live hundreds of miles away, so it’s unlikely it happened naturally. I think an unintentional outbreak from a lab is far more likely, and explains the massive response from the Chinese government when they finally stopped trying to cover up the existence of the disease.

      But we’ll probably never know for sure.

  2. Ozone therapy is more mainstream outside the USA. I have read enough peer-reviewed papers showing efficacy to think there is something to it.
