South Korea and China are both locking back down in some respects after more cases emerged over the weekend. This is going to be the dance card until we get therapeutics and a vaccine.

Toronto general has 417 beds with only 23 ICU beds + whatever they have in ER so yes a small portion of the hospital will be busy but allowing any other part of the hospital to get busy will put that small portion at increased risk of being overwhelmed , Pulmonologist and specialist and trained staff that can deal with this can't just be taken from other departments.

People keep talking about a vaccine for this. How many vaccines are currently in existence for any kind of Coronavirus?

Some people are saying Hospitals are making a big deal/pumping up the numbers etc.. I can't see hospitals doing that for the fact they would be making way more money without having to deal with these patients.

Do the research. 80% chance the Oxford vaccine works, plus there are many many other strong candidates, add in the slow mutation of this particular coronavirus and we will have a vaccine. The trick is getting it to 7 billion people before a meaningful mutation that renders it useless, although this is all logistics not science. The science to accomplish the vaccine according to top experts is done. Trials to prove they are safe and effective are underway. Best case scenario we get a patch or nasal administered vaccine by years end that doesn’t require refrigeration and can be mass produced.

That 80% is also a hopeful quote by one of the Professors not an actual success rate. Quote:

Here’s a link to one of the researchers discussing it: https://twitter.com/cnn/status/1258931205203877888?s=21 Now the research I think you need to do is in this thread. Watch the actual scientists who work on vaccines talk about the science of this particular coronavirus, I don’t have that link but it’s in here and it’s fascinating and very positive. The science on a vaccine is mostly if not all done. Now it’s proving safety and efficacy, then logistics and delivery. You can have a negative outlook all you want, the science says we are on our way to a vaccine. Last edited by Kidd Lex; 05-11-2020 at 08:25 AM.. |

More excellent research shared by contributors to this thread:
Fascinating lecture, shows promising reasons why “we’ve never had a coronavirus vaccine” is a poor argument: https://youtu.be/xUuLDLY1wMU Michael Farzan (SARS ACE2 discoverer) Scripps lecture: HIV is a genius, Flu is an honors student, SARS-COV-2 "flunked Immunology 101." Exposes key antibody sites - very vulnerable to conventional vaccines. Evolves very slowly because genome so large. Vaccine today works tomorrow |

The human coronavirus was discovered 60 years ago and there has never been an effective/scalable vaccine developed. SARS, MERS, the common cold... no scalable/effective vaccine and no vaccine that has ever been approved by the FDA. |

Sounds like a new penalty will have to be established. "Intentional shedding! 15 yards!" |
