From former head of FDA (under Trump). One of the few competent ones he had before being a total bootlicker became a sine qua non.

I really hope it works. I’m hopeful scientist are able to find multiple treatment options since it may be a while for a vaccine.

The cynical side of me though can’t get over the fact that Remdesivir is made by Gilead. And Gilead was a sponsor of one of the researchers on the VA/hydroxychloroquine study released just last week. HCQ is generic and readily available, Remdesivir is obviously not.

Guys help me out. Obvious our new flea in the crotch is an alter...I thought when someone else posted that he was Volbraniac (his weird spelling) that the posting style was nearly identical. Now I have my doubts. Nobody has that much troll in them and shows up here by accident though. Volprof? Outerbanksvol?

Guess what Clay pre-existing condiments make you more susceptible to dying from anything. Most of America, specially rural areas have high numbers of unhealthy people with pre-existing health conditions. So we need to do what we can to protect those people and slow the spread of a virus that can easily kill someone with a pre-existing condition. Clay Travis is an idiot.

I’m not a republican and I live in GA which has yet to vote. Like the last few presidential elections, I will most likely vote 3rd party. I don’t like Trump and I despise Biden. They’re both execrable human beings unfit for the office.

So I'll throw out a theory - critique at will; I'm interested in facts that will invalidate it.

Assumption - short of a vaccine or herd immunity the majority of the population will contract Covid-19 (Interested in hearing if this assumption is false)

The lowest total cost approach to handling the situation is to maximize the speed with which the population(referenced above) contracts Covid-19 without overburdening the HC system and while protecting the most vulnerable. IOW - flattening the curve to prevent unnecessary deaths due to lack of HC resources but not flattening so much as to prolong the inevitable infection of population at the cost of more damage to the economy worldwide.

Where am I going wrong?

Wouldnt contracting it a second time, which would imply a third, fourth, fifth time just make this like the flu? I know the flu is a bunch of different diseases, but seems like if its reoccurring it just becomes part of life.

I havent seen anything said about this weakening specific organs to make a second time worse.

And in my nonmedical opinion/belief even if having the antibodies doesnt make us truly immune, it seems like it would help us fight it off in the second and third rounds. Making a disease that for 98% is incredibly mild even milder? And maybe for the 2% too. I havent seen anything to say one way or the other to know if there is a basis for this belief.

And if it is the case of we can contract a second time does a vaccine work? I thought most vaccines worked by injected dead or inactive diseases in, letting our body create antibodies and then when the real thing shows up we can fight it off. Are there other types of vaccines that actually make us immune without antibodies?? Point being if we can contract a second time even with antibodies what would a vaccine do? Maybe there is another "vector" or other medical jargon for a vaccine to take I would be interested to hear how it would work to give us second round immunity.
