Nobody is going to invest the kind of money necessary to create a vaccine for a sniffle. And coronavirus is only one of many culprits in regards to cold viruses. COVID is a nasty enough disease to get the necessary funding and research. I don’t see any need to be suspicious of a vaccine...
Depends on what you mean.
If you mean this shouldn't be any different because the coronavirus is no more of a problem than the common cold. Then that's fine, you don't see a need for a vaccine. And if they develop one I strongly support your right to decide not to get one. I think the damage...
My Coronavirus summary
Naturally occurring virus.
Possibly escaped a lab due to negligence but probably just jumped to humans from another mammal.

I don’t know that taking specific precautions towards those most vulnerable is that easy. How exactly do you quarantine those 65 and older, diabetics, those with heart disease and those undergoing chemo? Honest question, not an argument. I’ve thought about it and it’s incredibly difficult, if...
