My son is a doctor in Minneapolis. We were talking to him today as he was called off because with the suspension of all elective surgeries there are not enough patients n the hospitals to warrant all the docs who were scheduled. He did say that they will have to cancel their trip down here in June to celebrate our fiftieth anniversary because his practice has told them all there can be no travel in June. While I am disappointed, I am also glad that their "little Germ factories" Won't be bringing us the virus. When he tells us of all the people at the hospitals who are working extra hours I offer up prayers for them. Please join me in these prayers, it is more than just nurses. :pray:

Vaccine in a year or so......

I think the bottom line is that we don't want to "pass" with it. A vaccine in a year to 18 months will be too late for many people our ages.

Many. You can start with the common cold (because there are thousands of strains) and HIV (because it exhibits antigenic mutagenicity and mimicry)

Thank you. I looked up both of them, and again my medical knowledge increased. It is so good to have two medical doctors as frequent posters on this forum.

For some reason I can say thank you by clicking on the bottom with a plus sign to some posters and some posts and others I cannot because there is no plus sign. Does anyone know how that works?

Okay so instead of you being intubated and barely recovering, and being traumatized for the rest of whatever is left of your now-shortened life, you merely...

might end up dying afterall because the previous bout left you with scarring on your ravaged lungs, and any new illness that effects your lungs might kill you.

Hm, again.

Well said

WHO:
"There is no evidence yet that people who have had Covid-19 will not get a second infection," WHO said in a scientific brief published Friday.”

That is crystal clear to me... no room for trying to explain it away. Do I want to hear that? Of course not!

There is so much conflicting, and rapidly changing data. I don’t know what to believe
