Equation

Lieutenant General
This is purely disgusting. I'm not surprise by this as the US MSM keeps promoting anti China rhetoric. So where are all bleeding heart "gotta keep this forum from going political" at on this? :mad: This is why a lot of us Asians/ Chinese was trying to make before mods control the narrative with warnings and such.

IT's worse than disgusting, and I know damn well you know where we mods stand on this kind of murderous attack on a child, any child, I have a Chinese Grandson. NO I don't need a lecture on morality from you Equation, you've been warned, leave your hateful comments off SDF or face a permanent ban!

Stabbing of Asian-American 2-Year-Old and Her Family Was a Virus-Fueled Hate Crime: Feds


Many experts and political figures believe that officials using racial terms for the virus has contributed to discrimination against members of the Asian-American community.

“This is a global emergency that should be met with both urgency and also cultural awareness that COVID-19 is not isolated to a single ethnic population,” Jeffrey Caballero, executive director of the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations, said in a statement to The Daily Beast. “Xenophobic attacks and discrimination towards Asian American communities are unacceptable and will not make our families safer or healthier.”

That's why serological test, which test antibodies in the blood, should be developed. That will tell us who is immune and can go back to work.

It was mentioned in the BYD video in the Chinese NEV thread that BYD can make 10 million face masks each day now (surgical mask I assume).

Funny story - fake news turns out to be real news (go to the end of the article). Maybe the Italians don't really hate the EU. But they indeed swapped the EU flag for the Chinese one to show their gratitude to China. The picture is not fake. A picture is worth a thousand words. Should we believe our own eyes or your words? :rolleyes:

I think more attention needs to be paid to areas outside of NYS and NYC. Michigan, Louisiana, Florida and a few more are upcoming clusters that are going to explode into tragedies on a scale no lesser than NYS and NYC.

This will probably be the theme for the US for the next few months, a few of the states taking turns becoming the epicenter.

Compare that to this:

White House Airlifts Medical Supplies From China in Coronavirus Fight
Officials have teamed up with medical supply companies to speed the arrival of masks, gloves, gowns and other goods.

WASHINGTON — A commercial aircraft carrying 80 tons of gloves, masks, gowns and other medical supplies from Shanghai touched down in New York on Sunday, the first of 22 scheduled flights that White House officials say will funnel much-needed goods to the United States by early April as it battles the

.

The plane delivered 130,000 N95 masks, 1.8 million face masks and gowns, 10 million gloves and thousands of thermometers for distribution to New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, said Lizzie Litzow, a spokeswoman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Ms. Litzow said that flights would be arriving in Chicago on Monday and in Ohio on Tuesday, and that supplies would be sent from there to other states using private-sector distribution networks.

I'm aware of that. Actually, it seems the situation is improving in the New York metro area in the last few days.

China has not posted Tuesday's numbers yet. They will start to reveal the number of asymptomatic patients starting Wednesday. I will post those when they become available.

I don't know virology but I thought that the correct term was strains. Can we say 'quasi subspecies' in this case?

A good article on the development of vaccine.

Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!


My very concise summary:
----
Three most promising vaccines:

The US vaccine (mRNA-1273): Could have it by fall this year. But it might just kill you before the virus does.

The Chinese vaccine (Ad5-nCoV): The front runner across the globe. It should be out by December this year. This one is safe but probably will not help you.

The British vaccine (ChAdOx1): This one is safe and effective. But you are probably dead by then because the vaccine won’t be out until May 2021.


Their timings to be taken with a HUGE pinch of salt.

Now if everything goes well and Murphy and his minions stay away.
