Are we all going to get the virus eventually?

can they make a vaccine for this virus? Or, will it mutate quickly to render vaccines ineffective? TIA to P&R epidemiologists.

I sat on a camel once. Am I vaccinated, or do I have to hump it?

I cam borrow? Really, there's likely something people have gotten out there that provides immunity. Not sure I'd want camel herpes though.

I’ve gotten the flu vaccine sporadically. I think I had the flu around 10 years ago. #### brought me to my knees. Every muscle in my body felt like it had been maxed out. I tested negative, so I’ve guessed if it wasn’t the flu, it was some bacterial infection that went through my bloodstream. It was hard to lift a gallon of milk to pour into the kids cereal.

Yeah, had a fever the entire time. Could’ve been mono I guess. Had some mental confusion too. Had just started a new job and went back earlier that I would’ve had I been in an established job.

just spitballing here

I mean if you are healthy just go ahead and get it, lock yourself in a motel for 10 days, and then you can get a positive anti body screening which basically means you are incapable of getting others sick. Then you could be one of the first ones to go back out and play.
and no, they will develop a vaccine for it.

I’m thinking that’s good advice. Cardiologist neighbor told me we’re all going to get it and most of will be fine. Read a study where they tested 60 people in Italy that said they hadn’t caught it and 40 tested positive for it. I think Most of us will be exposed to it and won’t show symptoms...hoping that’s the case.

Immunity doesn't last forever - ever had a cold or the flu?
Apr 8, 2020, 9:12 AM

The flu vaccine plus immunity helps, but it does not last forever. And we may or may not be able to develop a vaccine.
One reason there is no cure (or vaccine) for the common cold is that there are multiple viruses that cause what we call a cold and some are corona viruses.
As I have said from the beginning, this thing is a VIRUS and it behaves like a virus. And we will deal with it like a virus. Let's hope for mutations that kill it out, warm weather to slow it, and her immunity to build quickly.

Yes but not everyone will get sick.

It would be nice to find someone to estimate that without trusting ourselves to the same people who missed the original projections so badly.
