I can already imagine Trump using the vaccine as leverage in a trade deal with China. I could also see China stealing the vaccine though

I'm rubbing essential oils on my chest right now and plan on eating an avocado before bed. The misinformed are the ones in real danger. I'm going to pray so much tonight.

If our healthcare system excels at a least one thing its the shit tons of wealth and resources it possesses for R&D from charging its citizens a arm and a leg.

Very useful in times of a pandemic.

Even if a vaccine is developed the testing and mass production and everything involved in making it means it wont be available until sometime in the next year at the earliest

IIRC at least the US, China, Japan, Australia and the UK are working on a vaccine independently of each other. The EU has something going as well.

I saw a story on the news today where a UK firm is seeking 50 volunteers. 4500 ($5763) for two weeks. Probably have to be in the UK already though.

It didn't look too bad - other than you know, getting intentionally sick. The room was your typical single hospital room with a desk, bed, etc. You could probably work in a TV and a gaming console or two. Plus computer hookups, etc.

Once you're in, you're in though. No in or out and nothing from the outside that you didn't bring in beforehand. The only people you can meet and visit during the study are medical staff. No friends, no family.

I think it was on CNN.

Makes sense. They're so close to the point of origin. Taiwan probably is too.

I think it's just China. All these other firms are in the private sector using private money with the exception of Isreal.

They're just using the same facilities that they normally use for flu camp. I did that a few years back.

I'd miss the wife for sure, but if I could face time, or at least talk on the phone, i'd survive for a few weeks. I could totally get lost in a game or binge a show and the time would fly by.
