CoronaBro Meltdown/SARS-Covid-19 Spitballing Thread

[MakeItRain]

They're not though, the list of business closures is just as extensive as Kansas and more than Missouri.

[Phil Titola]

Happy your state is keeping people employed.

We don't employ many if we are all dead.

[420seriouscat69]

I don’t think you guys understand how miserable it is to be unemployed by something you can’t control, with no future insight for the time being. I think it sucks people with shitty immune systems are dying from this, but I’m legit depressed AF and I have no idea what to do right now, because I can’t do anything.

[Catchacold]

grocery stores are hiring

[catastrophe]

You’re doing your part to keep people alive bud. Yeah it sucks but you’re not doing nothing.

[420seriouscat69]

Yes, go be more exposed to a virus for less pay than unemployment. With health insurance running out at the end of the month. Sounds like a plan. Sorry, I’m bitter AF right now and staying positive is tough right now.

You sound like there's someone to blame. There's literally no one, not named Kelly Loeffler, who are happy and benefiting from where we are right now. Anger whether at people, whatever your deity is, or just at some unidentified being is counterproductive. You have a beautiful family, appreciate that.

It is perfectly normal to be pissed right now but that doesn't make what we are doing the wrong thing to do.

they found an antibody isolated from a person infected by sars that also binds to the same region of covid-19.

They oughta rename this thing SARS-CoV-2.

[catastrophe]

That is the name of the virus. COVID-19 is the illness.

Which I take the conclusion to mean they’re thinking it’s possible to develop a vaccine that protects against both SARS and COVID-19.

Uh, yeah. I know.

And then shouldn't we be further along down the vaccine path?

there are multiple vaccines that have been developed and are now being tested.  testing takes a lot longer than actually making the vaccine, apparently.

I guess I was thinking we would have already tested a SARS vaccine and could use that?

I believe the vaccine they’re currently developing is the first ever for any coronavirus (including SARS). Until this point they were all either too mild or too contained to care.

[Trim]

I volunteered weeks ago to be a lab rat for a vaccine test and haven't heard back.

Do you think you’d still have your job if it weren’t for stay at home orders?

[420seriouscat69]

I think people need Dentists, but you make a great point. I just needed to vent today, because I’m going crazy @ home and can’t provide right now. I’m being selfish and self soothing about this crap. My mom is like one of the 5% of people who defeated pancreatic cancer and I need her to be safe, so if that’s what it takes, I’m game.

[420seriouscat69]

Also, 💯 percent i’d Have a job right now without the stay at home restrictions. They were needed though, but I’m not sure what they do with the commission check that is owed for filling my territory.

[Rage Against the McKee]

My dentist cancelled my cleaning before there was a stay at home restriction.

[420seriouscat69]

Yeah, most of them are about to lose their offices and go to corporate dentistry. Only reason why I feel good/bad about this when it’s gone.

I was supposed to have an eye exam in a couple weeks(when my contact prescription runs out for this year) and my eye doctor is closed. So I just ordered another year supply of contacts because I can’t get a new prescription. It’s impacting a lot of different medical service industries.
