Great information, I see MO testing rate is worse than AR :frowning:
That data is just a bit old, 4:00 yesterday

Mounting promises on Covid-19 vaccines are fueling false expectations, experts say

mounting promises that some vaccine may be available for emergency use as early as the autumn are fueling expectations that are simply unrealistic, experts warn. Even if the stages of vaccine development could be compressed and supplies could be rapidly manufactured and deployed, it could take many more months or longer before most Americans would be able to roll up their sleeves. And in many countries around the world, the wait could be far longer still - perpetuating the worldwide risk the new coronavirus poses for several years to come.

Health care workers would likely [be] followed by people at the highest risk - those 65 and older and people with chronic health conditions, like diabetes, that have been seen to increase the risk of dying from Covid-19, Robinson said. “I don’t think that the general population will have vaccine probably until the second half of 2021. And that’s if everything works OK,” he said.

Osterholm said the public - both here and abroad - need clearer communications about realistic time lines to Covid-19 vaccine access. When vaccines do start to become available, demand will be enormous and supply will be minimal. “It’s going to be like filling Lake Superior with a garden hose at first,” he warned. “Let’s just be honest, whichever country gets the vaccine first … is going to both be in the driver’s seat and a very difficult spot.” “Eight billion people are going to want this vaccine overnight when it becomes available.”

I have little hope for a vaccine in the next 18 months - I do have hope for medication though. Remdesivir has (apparently) shown that it is possible to do something - now we just need something effective. I am looking forward to results of bemcentinib-testing!

It’s just that Remdesivir is by injection only, is to be administered only in more severe cases, and its (actual biochemical) mechanism of action still remains quite mysterious to researchers/practitioners.

Yep! Bemcentinib should be the equivalent of popping an aspirin :slight_smile: I really hope that one works!
Rendesivir seems more like a proof of concept-thing :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That (“live”, but overall still very safe) Polio vaccine (which Gallo is truly excited about, and working to promote) causing “intrinsic” immuno-reactivity is very inexpensive to produce/administer. Sugar cubes !

Our crack investigators have determined with a high level of certainty that “Mama June” was merely a cover-operation for the diabolical international Sorosian plot know to the Illuminati as “Money BooBoo”:

Linked article has zero direct (or indirect) reference to Remdesivir. Should we be surprised by that ? :thinking:

(Axios, May 6, 2020 - Bottom-fishing Wacko World):

Trump and some top aides question accuracy of virus death toll

President Trump has complained to advisers about the way coronavirus deaths are being calculated, suggesting the real numbers are actually lower - and a number of his senior aides share this view, according to sources with direct knowledge. … A senior administration official said he expects the president to begin publicly questioning the death toll as it closes in on his predictions for the final death count and damages him politically.

There is no evidence the death rate has been exaggerated, and experts believe coronavirus deaths in the U.S. are being undercounted - not overcounted. … The number of people dying over the past few weeks, in many parts of the country, is a lot higher than average, suggesting that the official count of coronavirus-related deaths is still missing tens of thousands of people. … Until mid-April, a person was only identified as having died from the coronavirus if they had tested positive for the coronavirus and then died.

Experts believe the formal death count is inaccurately low because:
Testing problems persisted for so long and still persist; and
Some states don’t count probable deaths; and
There are still thousands of “excess deaths” even after accounting for probable coronavirus cases.
