Re: Vaccines and therapeutics
Good news, indeed. But I really wish we could ban use of the term "game changer" in connection with the pandemic. It's been used a million times and we're still playing the same damn game.

When a Religion is good, I conceive that it will support itself; and when it cannot support itself, and God does not take care to support, so that its Professors are oblig’d to call for the help of the Civil Power, ’tis a Sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.

Re: Vaccines and therapeutics
I know...
This is one of the mRNA vaccines. I was interested in these. We do have reason to hope. Until then...hold on. Just hold on.

Re: Vaccines and therapeutics
Oh and from what I am reading, the Pfizer vaccine was developed by Biontech in Germany.

I really do hope that the mRNA vaccines are effective. It would be wonderful to have another dependable arrow in the quiver.Jersey Girl wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 12:33 amI know...

Did you ever see the movie version of Stephen King's novella The Mist? I don't want to post spoilers, but I think of the ending when I look at the virus trends in the Dakotas, Utah, and other states. The country is back in exponential growth and no one seems to realize it.

Re: Vaccines and therapeutics
I heard Phizer called Biden with the news, not Trump.
That warms my heart almost as much as the vaccine news itself.

Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

Re: Vaccines and therapeutics
I read something about Pence making a weak attempt to take some credit, prompting Pfizer to remind him that the vaccine is not part of the US's Operation Warp Speed. No US tax dollars were spent on this vaccine.Some Schmo wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 12:50 amI heard Phizer called Biden with the news, not Trump.

Re: Vaccines and therapeutics
One thing I want to add: don't just hold on. Redouble your efforts to stay health and keep those with whom you come in contact healthy. I'll do a state of the COVID post tonight. But the TL/DR is that we are right now in worse shape than at any time during the pandemic. When the cases were concentrated in the metropolitan areas of New York and New Jersey, they were visible and obvious. Because the effects are spread out over mostly rural areas of the country, it's hard to see them. But we're in the worst exponential spread of the virus we've experienced to date.
If you trust infection disease experts, increase your vigilance. Wash your hands regular and thoroughly. Limit trips outside your home. Do not attend indoor gatherings. If you are going to be in contact with anyone outside of your home, wear a face covering. If you have to cough or sneeze, do it into the crook of your arm. If you feel sick, stay home and isolate yourself from the others in your household. Try not to touch your face. All that stuff.
We can see some light at the end of the tunnel. What a tragic waste to get hit by a train.

Germany funded the development of this vaccine.Res Ipsa wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 12:52 amI read something about Pence making a weak attempt to take some credit, prompting Pfizer to remind him that the vaccine is not part of the US's Operation Warp Speed.

Pfizer agreed to accept funding from OWS for US deliver and production.
In the vernacular of my people, Pence can eat crap and die.
