Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

I have never had one . I drank out of creeks , wells and water hoses growing up , played with lead based painted toys and have eaten no telling how many “half worms “ bitting into apples , plums and peaches not to even mention the amount of times I’ve been spayed down with deep woods off , and choking on gasoline trying to syphon it from my dads truck to my mini bike , 3wheeler and motorcycles or all the hours sitting behind a short stack exhaust pipe on a tractor . I’ve spent a lifetime building up my immune system . Lol
You’ve been spayed? Was that before they had vasectomies?
 
Medical question.

This covid seems to kill by enabling you to contract pneumonia. Is that a correct statement? If so, should we not just be handing out pneumonia shots like candy right now?
 
Anyone not familiar with Farr’s Law, look it up. William Farr was an epidemiologist whom developed this in 1840 as a way to predict epidemic outcomes.

The law has been correct on most epidemics, including most recently SARS and MERS. The projection we are looking at based on this law is that we could be dealing with this until May.

China’s situation is apparently improving, so based on that information, Farr will be correct again for us.

Also a CDC epidemiologist that a friend of mine knows said that the only way this is going away is by ppl self-quarantining and social distancing.

Anyway, just thought I’d share.

I have no idea for the answer.....but I got a pneumonia shot on March 3rd @ regular Dr's office visit.
That shot hurt like heck......my shoulder muscle was sore the next day or two afterwards.

It sounds good but if it were that simple someone would have figured it out I guess.

This is a viral pneumonia. My understanding is that the current pneumonia treatments don't touch this pneumonia.
