Lots of places are now hot in the world and has had no effect on the COVID-19. So far those monitoring the genetics of have not seen mutations in the area that effects the spikes that attach to body cells. So far the mutations should not effect potential vaccines like with the regular flu.

Everyone is cheering Moderna early stage success & it is good news but at the risk of sounding like a Grinch, even if everything goes perfectly which it rarely does; it will easily be over a year before a vaccine become available to enough people for herd immunity. My worry is that people won’t understand that and recklessly celebrate & spread the coronavirus. Unmitigated spread will only take a few months to crash the healthcare system & economy.

Moderna's coronavirus vaccine just showed signs of success in a preliminary study, raising early hopes in the fight against the pandemic
Moderna is aiming to be ready for emergency use of its vaccine this fall, a timeline with no precedent in the history of vaccine development.

The war of words is worsening in the United States between Donald Trump and his predecessor Barack Obama, while the toll in the world now exceeds 315,000 dead.
Who is the most incompetent? Trump attacks Obama by saying that he was an incompetent president; it was his way of responding to Obama's remarks that criticized for his mismanagement of the crisis

Coronavirus thread. Here's some good news coming from of all places CNN about the topic of this thread:

There are positive early results from Moderna's coronavirus vaccine trial
Volunteers who received Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine had positive early results, according to the biotech company, which partnered with the National Institutes of Health to develop the vaccine.

Can someone explain me what the fuck is "Obamagate"? Trump has all the power in the world (from his own word) to attack anyone he wants. Why doesn't he? And why now?

If all goes well that means production in January. But not all will go well it's impossible. So most probably production in the spring with rollout over next summer. When this virus started scientist said no vaccine before 12-18 months. They were right. And it's the most positive scenario.
Cheers,
I'm hoping this good news advances the production as quickly as possible. Managing my expectations is not necessary, I would rather hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Too much of this glass half full mentality, I say the sky is blue you'll mention that a storm is coming. Let's think positive, this is good news!
Trump said "warp speed", and hopefully the Moderna findings can be refined rapidly and further tested into a vaccine that produces antibodies in all subjects, and it is swiftly moved to market.
On another note as a kid I had chicken pox, mumps, and measles, all viral infections, all of which are now almost completely neutralized by vaccines in the modern era. I would hope that "necessity is the mother of invention" and it comes sooner rather than later, just like World War II ended up leading to radar and atomic bombs.

China also has some vaccine candidates being worked on. Years ago they used to have a thriving medical tourism industry where organs were harvested from death row inmates. It seems they still may be doing it. Wonder if they will do covid-19 challenge trials on their prison population?

China promises to stop harvesting organs from executed prisoners by 1 January, after repeated pledges to do so in the past.

There I go again thinking positive. I should have written Post Lockdown.
"The idea of a return to life in public is unnerving enough for many people. But it turns out that one of the biggest obstacles to dining in a restaurant, renewing a doctor’s appointment or going back to the office is the prospect of having to use a public restroom — a tight, intimate and potentially germ-infested space.
It’s a hurdle vexing many business owners as they prepare to reopen in a time of social distancing, reduced capacity and heightened anxiety about the very air we breathe."
. . . .
"The coronavirus has been found in human waste up to a month after a victim has recovered. And a study published last week concluded that droplets from human speaking can hang in the air for at least eight minutes."
. . . .
"Truckers and food delivery drivers have filled social media with accounts of their fruitless search for open restrooms at their usual stops. Some restaurants now limiting their business to takeout service are barring delivery drivers from their bathrooms, erecting walls of tables and chairs to keep people out."
. . . .
"Even police officers are having trouble finding a place to go during their shifts. Coffee shops are closed, and fire stations formerly hospitable to other first responders are taking a newly cautious approach."
This is got nothing to do with lock down, if I understood correctly, r u saying pandemic is over?
Here we go. My video had everything to do with the lockdown. As restrictions are easing up from the lockdown, these are the issues that are coming up. Your saying the pandemic is over, not me. I'm just posting an interesting video and your trying to make this into something it's not. Move on.
Great day for Moderna’s stock price & for equity markets in general. But do bear in mind that this is only a Phase 1 trial based on data from only 8 individuals. Long road ahead.
Moderna has interesting technology but even more interesting is that:
a) Moderna has never introduced a successful vaccine in its entire history
b) Moderna has a reputation of being more successful in getting investors than in actual innovative products
c) Great timing its Phase 1 trial success w/ yet another Billion dollar fund raising exercise

After positive data on a coronavirus vaccine, Moderna will try to raise $1.34 billion with a stock sale
The company said it expects the offering to close around Thursday, with gross proceeds totaling around $1.34 billion.
Obamagate - It's the scandal of having a president who is able to speak with empathy, humor, insight, inspiration and in complete and coherent sentences. - Credit Dan Rather. Perhaps more accurately, Obamagate is just another of Trump's daily distractions to get people to talk about ANYTHING other than his incompetence.

I can think of a few members here who might be along any moment now to provide an explanation of Obamagate - filled with all sorts of interesting "theories".
I enjoy riding my bicycle and was considering buying a new one this year, but the coronavirus has put an end to this. Looks like we have a bicycle shortage:

Coronavirus: Canada is running out of bicycles as more people take to the road | Globalnews.ca
With more people stuck at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada has seen the demand for bikes growing -- so much that the country is running out of bikes.

Obamagate= the fraud that happened in 2008 and continues to happen where illegal immigrants are crossing over the border and raping and pillaging in America. If there was a wall, Obamagate would never had happened!!! Obamagate =the greatest scandal in American history where a man from a foreign nation (AFRICA) became USA president!!
