This is why most people hate social media. There is a group of people that argue for personal enjoyment.

Once you get rabies symptoms you die. Rabies incubation periods in humans are generally longer than month. This is a special case that allows a vaccine time to work post exposure.

Covid has an incubation period of 5 days. The time for your body to produce antibodies from a vaccine will be similar to the time it take to produce it naturally from the disease.

no **** sherlock. not being rude, your just stating the obvious.

What it takes to make a vaccine. The human body must be one of the most complicated things going around. And developing a vaccine, especially for coronavirus, so incredibly difficult. About the only reason one could be developed reasonably quickly today is the 10 years of research that has gone on before.

Not so simple with the COVID_19. Check out 'inside the COVID vaccine'.

"With SARS-CoV-2, the competition is a particularly difficult one. Some viruses are made up of only the bare minimum genetic material necessary to get inside a host cell and make copies of themselves. But coronaviruses, says Neuman, “are the biggest RNA viruses that we know, and so they've got more of these little bells and whistles”—by which he means clever tricks to bias the race, to confound and hobble and outrun the immune system. “They've got

the gold package

,” he says. The novel coronavirus is as much as 10 times better than the first SARS virus at binding to a cell. Once inside, it twists the structure of human cells, turning them into superefficient virus factories. It has a camouflage strategy that lets it sneak past cell receptors. And it has an enzyme that Neuman likens to a paper shredder: It destroys the messenger RNA that the cell uses to call for help once it does realize that something has gone wrong."

Scientists are using a supercomputer to make a replica of the virus to find it's weaknesses. We really are in the 21st Century.

Interesting note on Darwin Harbour. If Our security is threatened the Contract is apparently null & Void.


There's a relief. Possibly. Or does it mean China can attack Oz with impunity?


Impunity means "exemption from punishment or loss or escape from fines". In the international law of human rights, it refers to the failure to bring perpetrators of human rights violations to justice and, as such, itself constitutes a denial of the victims' right to justice and redress.

Regardless, everyone kills off the virus in around ten days so antibodies do work in killing it off. This means a vaccine can work.

People do not die from the virus itself.

There are, of course, other viruses for which you can’t make antibodies.
