Not a lot of information about how long antibodies remember the virus, and it's one case, but it's still a concerning development.
The Chinese did a good job making this one! :coffee:

You're right BDK but if the shoe were on the other foot and Hillary and won the 2016 election, the right would be doing the same thing.

Oh yeah. That's a REAL authority to be talking about this situation.

I didn't even realize it until this happened. But, wow, that's the person we have as the Secretary of HHS. An attorney, politician, pharmaceutical lobbyist, and drug company executive. That's just wonderful.
Why the fvck do you care?

Remember the guy who just a day or so ago on this here forum right here saying that this virus was probably no big deal... sorta like the flu?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ yeah that was YOU

So it sounds to me that the HHS Secretary is in fact more qualified than you to be an “expert” on the matter because at least he is informed

This IS a big deal and Trump isn’t handling it very well thus far : https://hotair.com/archives/allahpundit ... ronavirus/

But you have zero credibility being up in arms about this given your completely ignorant stance on the matter as recently as yesterday. Hell, you might as well have been the WH spokesman

I thought his press conference was, not surprisingly, more about him and didn't do much to help calm people down. Which is hard for any leader to do.

But it sounds like HHS and CDC are working hard and with the best information/data they have.

Half true.
The Google Books preview of the 1981 original describes a virus called “Gorki-400,” named after the Russian city where it was created. It wasn’t until sometime later that the book changed the virus’ origin to Wuhan and called it “Wuhan-400”.

A version of the book with a 1996 copyright indeed calls it "Wuhan-400."

So the two lessons learned I've learned in the past 15 years are that fatalities caused by an entire city of black people being built below sea level behind a series of levees not rated for strong hurricanes in a strong hurricanes prone area, as well as a virus spread from a Chinese lab to a Chinese wet market are always the fault of the sitting Republican President.

I'm glad our media can set us straight
