Interesting timing here with regards to the US election.

Hey I got decent aluminum foil hats I can sell you for $500/each. They are the only way to protect against deep state mind control rays :)

#123I am blown away at how quickly the world/science/this company produced this. Clearly this is not the end of it but this is something positive.
I wonder if this experience has led to developments to speed up the development process (without compromising on safety); I hope so, because this is not the first and will not be the last time we see a worldwide pandemic like this.

#124Earlier quoted context omitted.
You know exactly what I meant so don't pretend otherwise. By the way, 1.26 million is less than 0.02% of the world's population.
No, I don't. Please explain.

#126Seems like a good time to buy shares in whoever manufactures industrial sized extra cold freezers.
So which company benefits the most here? From a cursory googling the following seem decent: - The Whirlpool Corporation - Electrolux AB - LG Electronics Inc. problem is these companies have a lot of exposure to other sectors as well of course.

#127Just curious, why the reaction towards this and the ones from Russia/China are different ?

what are you insinuating here?
Massive corporations do have political agendas. I don't think anyone would argue they don't. But maybe it's just coincidence?

#129By not knowing how long the immunity/protection lasts, it could mean people would have take the vaccine every 6months?12months?
If you get the virus, you only appear to be immune for a short time (6months, would have to look it up). This matches other coronavirus and how you can get colds multiple times a year. In reality, a vaccine is probably going to offer a lower (but if this study is true, acceptable) level of protection. I wouldn’t be surprised if the protection drops exponentially after 2 months. Similar to the live virus
Serology reports for the Moderna vaccine (very similar technology) are showing 4-5 times higher levels of antibodies than those who actually contracted the virus.

#130The virus is (heavily) mutating folks. Heavy mutations likely related to recombination with rhino-viruses. This vaccine will likely be outdated when generally available.
