N.E. Brigand Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 This is an interesting article: Human Challenge Trials. One way we might speed up the development of a vaccine would be if healthy people volunteered to be infected with COVID19. Would you do so? As some observers point out: the article never mentions that people put their lives on the line for other good causes: think of fire departments and the military -- or for that matter, of doctors and others risking their lives right now.

More than a month ago I read comments by a researcher in this field noting that, until now, no one would fund their research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re at state Capitol supposedly protesting shutting down businesses but saw signs totally off topic. And very few with masks. Heard the state dropped to less than 1000 cases in last 24 for first time in week or so. Let’s see what happens in two weeks after these people go home. Also some counties in the boonies have less than 5 cases. That should be interesting in 2 weeks.... (some of the really rural areas have anti-government feelings) turned it off before I saw anyone I knew or related to by marriage 😳 well stupidity may be one way to thin the herd 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimF-LowBari Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Just saw a film clip from local news... some off message signs are “don’t tread on me”, some religious ones I won’t post here... and my personal favorite.... OPEN OUR BARS couple of people wearing shirts with company logos. Now I know who not to hire.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
