It was however man-made and unleashed for a purpose, we are witnessing the reasons for this already now. I have no worries that a vaccine will be found because a vaccine was already made and tested and designed prior to all this, remember the war on terror, 9/11 etc. the American's are now actually allied with the Taliban, however our lives completely for the worse as a direct result of that and Covid is no different.

That is allowed you know, you're word isn't gospel. And just because you keep saying the same thing over and over again, doesn't necessarily make it true.

The 'curative' power of this antibody treatment(Regeneron) has yet to be proven. Although it has shown promise in small, early studies in people with mild COVID-19 symptoms, large clinical trials have not yet been completed. Meanwhile, researchers are already designing more-advanced antibody treatments that could be cheaper, easier to produce and more potent.

This will all be bad news for the Doom Squad. All I know is that Sars-CoV2 is going to be with us for a very long time. We'll always be hearing about cases and it may take quite a while for the mental disassociation of this virus with our innate fear of contagion, which is what humanity is actually more fearful of. When I read the headline in the Indo this morning suggesting first EUA vaccines before end of year, it struck me just how incredible this is! Within 11 months of identifying a novel pathogen, humanity sequenced its genome, then developed, tested, manufactured and administered a new vaccine against it. Humanity absolutely rocks!

We have seen AZ and J&J pause for one adverse event in approx 30k participants each. If these did turn out to be related to the vaccine is that 1in30,000 event acceptable to save the world?

This includes asymptomatic individuals, specific at-risk populations such as healthcare workers, and the validation of diagnostic performance of tests outside of the hospital setting." This implies rapid antigen tests would not be suitable in people with no symptoms or in vulnerable settings like nursing homes.
DaSilva wrote: » False dilemma, I don't think anybody is suggesting using rapid tests at nursing homes instead of RT-PCR. You've been on here before downplaying the usefulness of these tests, however I can't see any logical argument against using rapid antigen tests where the alternative is no testing at all.
