It Wandered In From the Wastes

Imagine the end of the pandemic — with new cases and deaths trending down towards zero — a time we are all eagerly anticipating. The key to achieving this goal will be the development of effective treatments and vaccines. Yet, based on a research study my team and I have conducted, older adults, particularly those in their 70s and 80s, maybe systematically excluded from the clinical trials necessary to develop and test them.

Doesn't really seem out of the ordinary to exclude the elderly from clinical trials. At least in the early stages of the trials, later they might include them, but in the early trials where more things are unknown and can go wrong it'd be hard to get such trials past the ethics committee.
 
Very true, I'm not even sure if I would let my mom take the vaccine if it becomes available, she's around 60+ so I don't know what will convince me for her to take one. I'm just scared for something bad to happen...
 
Given how politicians are railing against the idea of herd immunity, it's not like vaccines could actually do anything (if true). So get used to the fear, because that'll be the one constant for the next few years.
 
Hopefully, vaccines will work, I'm not ready for a second outbreak or mutation whatever that may happen only because of a faulty vaccine. :/
 
Hah.
Repeat after me:
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
 
I'm so afraid of a covid outbreak I pee my pants and blow milk out of my nose at the same time several times a day.
 
Did you hear the one about Elon Musk taking four tests in one day and two came back positive and two came back negative?

Yeah, those quick tests are not really reliable at all, but that much has been known. The PCR test takes longer, but is more accurate. It is also extremely sensitive, so there are some who voice concern over it inflating the numbers of actually infected/infectious people, too.
 
Conspiracy theorists that don't trust science you mean. Those people make me sick. Literally sick. Oh my wife is sick. She has a nice sexy sounding voice now so I am going to keep her sick like on that one episode of Family Guy where Peter stays sick because he has a sexy voice. It's not a 1 to 1 comparison.

If it gets bad don’t lay down it’s a death sentence. I think a lot more people would have survived if they kept them propped up.
 
Newest study says having stomach pain and the shits can also be a symptom for the Coof, so don't you think you can relax just because you're not coofing.
 
I read a study that says if you didn't vote for Biden you will die in a Covid related fire. As such, they will be reported as Covid deaths.
