Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

My question will be once a vaccine has been developed for a certain strain of Covid-19 virus, does this now mean that the vaccine is only effective for this strain targeted by the vaccine? IF yes, the strain of the virus needs to be identified before any treatment. Otherwise, we may need a cocktail of vaccine to have an effective treatment?

Dream on.

Look at H3N2 where vaccines been tried for 50 years and H3N2 kept mutating and mutating.

Yet another example of why the cruise ship industry is disgusting and should be sued out of business. Shameless disregard for their crew's safety. Passenger's safety are not far behind.

... China has to break the embargo against Iran, and buy oil (and natural gas) from her, which Iran will gladly sell. ...

R&D spending in China continues to increase today.

Old post below on empirical observations of R&D spending and the middle-income trap.

LOL it'd appear China became rich already Yesterday at 10:25 PM

The reason is very simple:
1. Mercedes-Benz biggest customer is China
2. BMW biggest customer is China
3. Audi biggest customer is China
4. Porsche biggest customer is China. Porsche ship their cars via the new OBOR railway network directly to China.

I didn't drink my early morning coffee yet, so: if it's one million cars costing 100 Grand each, China would spend 100b this way early

Sweden’s self regulate policy is doing not bad?

LOL I repeatedly linked Swedish numbers in this thread, of course always ignored, as they show a country can live without ruining itself by the virus AND by restrictions

This shows how dumb is the media. All this talk about COVID-19 being accidentally leaked from a lab... How would they know about it if it's new to then have it in a lab? ...

well the suspicious is an accident happened because they did funny things with viruses Apr 26, 2020

a recent

interview with some Russian academician by the name P. M. Chumakov (Чумаков)
who apparently exists (

and says about "Chinese scientists in Wuhan laboratory" (В Китае ученые Уханьской лаборатории ...), not a literal translation:
"They did foolish, in my opinion, things like modifying the genome of a virus so that it could infect human cells."
(Они делали совершенно безумные, на мой взгляд, вещи: к примеру, вставки в геном, которые придавали вирусу способность заражать клетки человека.)

The headline is something like

I took a closer look at the numbers (LOL of course preparing for pub talk, as pubs are expected to be reopened in May), used

• an important suggestion by @AndrewS to take the numbers since the beginning of strong mitigation efforts, and
• the same function I used for China (I linked the story I think yesterday, in short it worked with a caveat LOL)

and before I show the graph, I add two things:

1. the situation was tense here around the end of March, a total lockdown was threatened if the number of cases would quickly go to 10k (and "was threatened" means "would be enforced")
2. I'm going to check on Sunday, May 10

looks like I wanted to believe the narrative Apr 25, 2020 which was there wouldn't be much new cases here; an update:

in short, recently (April 26 - May 2) the daily average was 65, so my Apr 25, 2020 prediction for May 9 is too low already!

AIDS was first reported in the United States and then swept across the world, should the United States compensate 75 million HIV carriers and 35 million AIDS-related dead victims?

People should have the right to ask why the CT images of patients in the outbreak of Electronic-Cigarette-Associated Acute Lipoid Pneumonia in August last year in the United States are so similar to those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

What had happened in Fort Detrick in Maryland?

kind of the best was making a connection between electronic cigarettes issue and the virus, LOL
