Yet many people here insist that CV-19 is just a flu. What you are describing is certainly like no flu I have ever had. The thing is that the symptoms seem to vary wildly, with some people having nothing at all and others, like the people above having it much worse.

- Start date
Coronavirus - In the DR

There plenty more in the pipeline that will be more practical.
Pfizer is in recognition process and expects to start US distribution in mid December.
A Christmas present for the early recipients. Few imagined a 2020 distribution but it looks possible.
55 and up is one of the age numbers being bandied about for the early people.
Hopefully the DR will adopt one of the common sense order of distribution adopted in other countries.
Those waiting for the vaccine will have the benefit of seeing how the vaccine is working out in general public.
First recipients will be semi guinea pigs as to any sides and real world length of protection.
My view is that they will all be safe and I am happy to get my shot when its my turn.
Tired of being concerned that I will get seriously ill, be left with long term health deficits or pass on a serious illness.
Do not mind the mask one bit or the common sense precautions but it is wearing to have to be careful all the time.
Take a good look at the "people here who insist that CV19 is just a flu".
You might consider upping the level of the people here who you interact with.
Do not mean to be critical of your friends but in life you meet people who should be scrupulously avoided.
These are the kinds of people who avoid taking basic health care precautions and are most likely to infect you.
You ruin the fun of having him go on and on with fact less dreams in an alien reality.
The effects of the disease having such a wild variety make this disease especially scary.
Researchers are working diligently to understand why some die and others have no symptoms.
A Gallup poll showed about 45% of US will not get the Covid vaccine which is about the # that do not get a yearly flu shot.
Big uh, oh if it turns out correct.
We could end up with a vaccine card for entrance into bars, restaurants, movies, any areas where social distancing is involved.
Watch the bar flies and anti vaxxer fools sign up for the vaccine asap.
Imagine the young ladies of Sosua asking to see your proof of vaccine card before providing services?
This is a UK study
It identifies that a very few can cause a very large spread.
Interacting w/ 3 or more people, indoors, no mask no distancing
I respect freedom of choice and movement.... but with cautious responsibility... not reckless behavior
This is just a few opening paragraphs
The findings come amid pressure on NHS Test and Trace, which continues to fail to notify at least 80 per cent of contacts
A tiny fraction of people could be behind the vast majority of the UK’s coronavirus cases, a study from the Government’s former nudge unit suggests, raising doubts about the effectiveness of Britain’s approach to contact tracing.
Eight per cent of individuals accounted for over 60 per cent of transmission risk in a study conducted by the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), now independent of the Government but founded by the Cabinet Office in 2010 to apply behavioural science to public policy.
The findings suggest that identifying the superspreaders who infected a person in the first place – as opposed to getting in touch with their contacts – could be a more effective approach to stopping the spread of coronavirus.
BIT asked over 3,700 Britons at the end of October how many people they had met outside of their household – including their support bubble – in the last seven days.
Most, 75 per cent, said they had been keeping to themselves, meeting no-one or only one to two people outside their household while taking safety precautions like being outdoors and wearing masks.
Such cautious behaviour accounted for just one per cent of the risk of spreading coronavirus, according to BIT’s analysis.
Instead the vast majority of transmission risk came from only eight per cent of respondents – deemed “potential superspreaders” by BIT. These people said they had met three or more people, typically indoors with no masks and without keeping distance.
BIT also found potential superspreaders had no specific demographic characteristics; they were not disproportionately male, young, or from any particular ethnic group.
The findings come as NHS Test and Trace continues to fail to notify at least 80 per cent of contacts, a level recommended by Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) advisers. See below the Test and Trace promotional video.

Just 8pc of people account for 60pc of Covid transmissions

Dry ice can be shipped by plane on Jetblue...........used it many times over the years.
So if the vaccine requires dry ice to meet temperature requirements...............it can be transported by air.

..Vaccine is the real game changer, and sure to come...the missing piece of information is the real numbers of positive tests..without that its hard to guess where this country stands.
We can only hope that in addition to the Corona-SARS virus these new vaccines might have some small mitigating impact on Corona viruses in general. Probably not but one can hope.
Thank you for your advice on how to choose the people I associate with, but at my advanced age I probably have a pretty good idea. I'm not sure how I can dissociate myself from posters here on DR1 short of blocking them.
The upside of those not accepting COVID as anything other than a bad flu, is that we can save the extras vaccines for the other half of the population that wants it and accepts it.
Therefore allowing natural selection to run its course as it should be.
We’re living in the 5 yards to the TD of the 21st Century and I can’t for the life of me, grasp how many folks are still lost to something so easy to discern based on actual known proven facts:
COVID-19 was not lab release, much less man-made.
Patient zero is still ways away from being identified. So too the actual country of that first case. China is only the first confirmed mass infection identified by experts, not the source.
Given how, lately, other primary cases of infection have been identified prior to China’s spread.
There are two concurrent hypothesis on this:
One details that a strain that jumped from animals then carried over to China by a traveler, where the first mutations took place is plausible.
The new findings of a covid strain in Minks have pause to this theory:
www.euro.who.int
The other details a jump from animal to human at an open market (wet market) in China, which then made its way to Europe (this is also plausible)
So experts agreed (after review of actual virus in labs) this was not man-made or even manipulated in a lab at any point. Which discarded the Wuhan lab speculation 100%.
There’s no proof this COVID-19 originated in China, nor there’s enough evidence to find a concrete alternative. Until then, we don’t know.
Wearing masks is not to protect you the individual, but to lessen the danger of infections to others you come across in your perimeter.
This is the first thing we have to understand from a legal, constitutional law stance. It’s legal to mandate all people wear masks to protect others against your concealed weapon as a carrier.
It’s also legal to establish limits and defined restrictions according to the dangers to public safety and health.
A bad flu 🤒 is not even close to Covid-19 and I’m a survivor to that.
I equate this chit-chat to how we still find bunches of idiots that claim the Earth being round is a hoax and confirm it to be flat...
You can’t fix stupid but COVID-19 sure can!
Vaccination? What’s there to fear! You have been pumped enough gene altering stuff before you got born and myriads since then. One more ain’t going to kill you. Might actually save you!
I just want to tell all ( more like warn ya) of you, that this is just a glimpse of what’s to come when we face either a viral doom infection or a chemical weapon released by who knows who.
If we can’t get it together with this year long virus and its effects, I can’t even phantom with a deadlier agent.
I think that civil rights and liberties during a life extinction event, should be suspended and authorities allow to act unimpeded for the sake of all.
At the first call, all governments should had acted promptly and shut down all travel, followed by strict month long shut downs at national level, enforced by national guards or military. That would had been the end of COVID-19 in a little as 1 month. Sadly China showed us the way, but we think ourselves freemen and leaders. Turns out we are enslaved fools and followers, as shown as to how now we try to mimic China’s method.

Mink-strain of COVID-19 virus in Denmark
On 5 November 2020, health authorities in Denmark reported 12 human cases of COVID-19 caused by a specific mink-associated variant strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. All 12 cases live in North Jutland and became unwell in September. Eight had a link to the mink farming industry and four cases were...

To the above 🠕🠕🠕🠕 (too much nonsense to copy and then reply)....
"COVID-19 was not lab release, much less man-made."
Was it dropped upon us from extraterrestrials???????????

Yes, it was dropped upon us by ( or from, whatever ) extraterrestrials, along with mangú, small pox, Micheal Jackson, the atom bomb and iPhones---- please note that they are cited from most lethal to least lethal.

It was claimed that it was a virus manipulated and/or created at a Wuhan lab.
It was studied and found with no traces of manipulation or genetically engineered/compiled as claimed. Nor was it accidentally released from a Chinese lab.
All real experts point towards a zoo based virus that jumped to humans by an unknown contact.
This is a virus that could had come from several sources and first started circulating in a yet to be identified location.
Listening to the crap they put out as evidence of initial infection point and cause or calling it a Chinese virus, denotes ignorance of the facts.
Since you called it nonsense you are on the latest group, as per your indications.
