    A group of Texas scientists claims to have created a vaccine to prevent the coronavirus and, according to the CEO of the Houston based engineering company, it could be approved and available to the public by the end of the year.

    Could be and will be are not the same thing!

        Yea i have noticed that when the first case was reported here in South-Africa.
        Showed the pin about 500km from where it really was.
        Turned out i am 30km away from the quarantine site.

        Sure to avoid people to move away from these sites?
        Wonder how credible and accurate the John Hopkins data would be.
        Its accurate for the total cases we have here.

        Would probably be much more as the 14 day period since the infected returned from Italy to ZA is almost there.
        Then the cases should start popping up every where around here.
        There would be no way for me to avoid this. Unless i move to the ass end off Russia.

          According to the CDC, contracting this virus will not make you immune to it unfortunately. The story I read stated a health worker has contracted the virus a SECOND time in just a few weeks.

            If you contract Corona Virus, are under 60 years old and have no significant health issues, you have approx an 80% chance of survival.

            If you are over 60 years old or have a significant health issue the odds rise to 1/6 that you will not survive.

            Although the common flu kills many more people each year, Corona Virus is far deadlier because no human has yet developed an immunity to this new virus.

                    Experts: China Carving Lungs Out of Political Prisoners to Treat Coronavirus

                    Chinese labor camp survivor Yu Ming is a practitioner of Falun Gong, a spiritual movement that Beijing considers a dangerous anti-communist cult.
                    Matthew Robertson, a China studies researcher at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) who authored a new reportevent Tuesday, Yu indicated that unscrupulous doctors in China used the harvested organs for recent double-lung transplants performed on people suffering from coronaviruschampiondeterminedCoronavirus originated in China, where it has infected more than 80,000 people, including 3,100 who died from the disease.
                    The communist regime is currently holding up to one million Muslim-majority Uyghurs in re-education camps. Prisoners face extrajudicial incarceration, torture, communist indoctrination, and forced labor, among other human rights abuses. China coerces the prisoners to renounce to their faith and native language.
                    Beijing is also reportedly holding Falun Gong practitioners at the camps. Breitbart News has noted that China has expanded its industrial-scale harvesting of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners to Uyghur Muslims.

                      I am no fan of Breitbart news but these same stories of forced organ donations have been reported in multiple other media sources for months.

                        Don't underestimate this fucking virus!

                        An uncle of mine died in Italy today. I can't go to his funeral because they are suspended and I can't move from Germany. He was 40 years old and no obvious pathology. In Italy the mortality rate of this virus has reached 9% and people continue to die. They are almost 1,000 dead and the infections continue to increase!

                        The Italian mad government has only shut down the services it deemed non-essential. Offices, factories with hundreds of workers and much more continue to remain open and the people are revolting over this.

                        It's not just hype. If the virus has spread to a city, you have to close it! But our government is interested in money. Italy is a good example, CLOSE ALL.Healthcare is also free and this allows you to heal ALL people. I don't want to imagine what will happen in america. A failed company YOU CAN rebuilt, a human life is not.

                        This virus is underestimated at first and you will understand its danger when it is too late. In Germany they have ignored it and now we are paying the consequences.

                          Unfortunately the Republicans Don't believe in Science. Your watching the biggest failure of an American President and his administration to respond to this crisis. Failure to supply test kits for month's and still a massive shortage of testing. America once was the leader of the world would lead in time of crisis is now way behind other countries in testing and failure to lead.

                            Typical Trump Derangement Syndrome. Echoing the liberal media's narrative that "The President Has Failed".
                            They can't even get through a single statement about coronavirus without somehow tying it to his "re-election chance". What A JOKE!
                            This is a virus the ENTIRE WORLD HAS NEVER DEALT WITH BEFORE! You fucking moron! They know Next-to-Nothing about it, and that's what takes time!
                            A virus with no vaccine or cure. It's not going to make any difference what Trump says or does. It comes down to the scientists/ lab workder now to get a vaccine and develop a RELIABLE test.

                            CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield told CNNthe Coronavirus could become a disease like the seasonal flu, theA federal official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because there is an ongoing investigation, said the problem may have been a design flaw or contamination in a CDC lab when the tests were being produced. (Again, not the Trump Admin's fault),


                            Why isn't anyone screaming "FAILURE" for China allowing this whole thing to start in the first place?
                            You people yelling "FAILURE" at our president are clueless.

                              CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield told CNNthe Coronavirus could become a disease like the seasonal flu, the “only difference is we don’t understand this virus.” (Hard to "control and contain" something you have no clue about!! - Not Trump's fault).
                              Redfield went on to question whether China has the situation under control and suggested the country allow the CDC to conduct on-the-ground work. "That letter has not been responded to yet by the official Chinese government." (Trump Admin. TRYING to help in any way they physically can). “Right now there’s no evidence to me that this outbreak is at all under control, it’s definitely not controlled worldwide,” he said. “The sooner we can help them get it under control, the better for the whole world.” (Why isn't their anger at these other countries who have yet to bring this unknown virus under control?)

                              Sources have said that some of the testing kits don't work.
                              The CDC manufactured kits, and on Feb. 6 and 7, 90 test kits were shipped to the public health labs. Some labs began to have trouble with the test. On Feb. 12, the CDC announced the test was providing inconclusive results in some laboratories. (Again, not Trump's fault that scientists can't develop a dependable test).
                              Production is ramping up, but tests — and the labs and equipment necessary to run them — are still very limited. Even where test kits are available, many states (not the Trump admin) have set strict criteria for who should be tested to avoid overwhelming their labs (not Trump's decision).
                              A federal official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because there is an ongoing investigation, said the problem may have been a design flaw or contamination in a CDC lab when the tests were being produced. (Again, not the Trump Admin's fault),

                              More Excuses for a COMPLETE FAILURE IE HOAX Virus President and his administration.
                              Sorry once again YOU can't handle the TRUTH!
                              BTW WHO has had testing kits for month's world wide. South Korea does 15,000 tests a day! So far the US only tested 5,000 total.

                                Narrative Busted: Anti-Trump Dem Governors Praise President for Coronavirus Response

                                The media has been working double-time to pin the stock market drop and the coronavirus panic on President Donald Trump.
                                They, and the Democrats, have slammed the administration for not acting properly in the face of what CNN now calls a pandemic.

                                But sometimes leaders step up in the face of a crisis and, rather than using it for politics, simply tell it as it is, which is what Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have done.
                                Make no mistake, they are as anti-Trump as it gets, so when handed softball questions by the media on the Face the Nation
