I'd say with the possibility of reinfection this is more than likely, a vaccine should stop it like any other flu vaccine
How concerning is this whole 'reinfection' thing that seems to be popping up? Is that something any other disease does?
There needs to be a study to say if it is really reinfection or if you just keep the thing forever, dormant / in another similar state.
Maybe you get better but the tests will always be positive.

An increasing number of experts say it's here to stay. Containment and mitigation are important as both buy us precious time to deal with a stable number of critical cases. Epidemic outbreaks collapse hospitals and Health Care centers. It's better to deal with this situation in manageable numbers, rather than having tens of thousands suddenly falling ill to it.
WTF the virus is leveling up with automatic stat distribution??
The two counties with reported community spread cases are 450-500 miles away from Palm Springs.
They suspect, if it's really a reinfection, that there wasn't enough time for the body to create enough antibodies which would protect you from a reinfection. This is probably the most realistic explanation at the moment. Nothing is confirmed of course. Pure speculation from scientists.
Yes, at this point it's all speculations. There are 2 versions: either it's a real reinfection or just a neutralized manifestation of the virus. As in, you're a carrier with detectable viral loads, but you wouldn't represent any danger to others.
Actually it will because it seems like whenever this thing comes about it wont be free or low cost for everyone thanks to Trump's bullshit in health insurances.
It will be an ongoing battle if Covid-19 is here to stay. The virus will evolve and new vaccines will need to be developed yearly to combat the new variants.
How would it be any different from the flu vaccine, which is pretty cheap across the country already?
There are many ways to get regular flu shot for free or low cost
I've been wondering about Japan lately. Is it that they found a way to properly contain this? Or could it be their testing capabilities have stalled at this point? Their updates have been somewhat "stable", not even close to the dramatic jumps we notice in Iran, Italy or South Korea.
Everything seems to be pointing thanks to How Trump has done the health insurance nonsense that it would cost a lot to get this vaccine. It's not a "pre-existing" condition, something brand new, and other nonsense i read about this where since its being done by big pharmaceuticals they will basically monopolize it. Again I am not sure if its 100% accurate what i read so i wlll try and track down the source and post it here.
I think it's hard to know what the relapse information means. For example, the chickenpox virus remains in the body for decades after the initial disease has passed. It typically does not re-emerge as chickenpox but as shingles, a wholly different disease.
This thing is brand new. I don't know that anyone can reliably say what it could do long term.

High price or not, a vaccine does not mean "we're done, good job guys."

Exactly. Only time will tell. We just have to hope it doesn't take a turn for the worst and we're able to find either a vaccine, a cure, or some kind of successful treatment to deal with the symptoms once they start to set in.
Wasn't someone saying that the vaccine for an existing virus similar to this has a chance to cause a lot of heart damage or something? I don't think it's a slam dunk that a vaccine for this will be as smooth as the common flu vaccine.
regardless if it is reinfection or a mild case that lay dormant, it will fuck up your lungs. That's why the "you will be okay if you are young and healthy" is such a narrow-sighted thing to say. Even as a young and healthy person, you will have scarred lung tissue after it and will be vulnerable to other illnesses for a time. You won't be "young and healthy" after it, instead, you will belong in the "at-risk" group. The next pneumonia or covid re-infection could kill you.
WHO can't seem to figure out and give clear instructions to countries. This is not China level containment
Japan isn't testing (much). The health workers on the cruise job didn't get tested, Japanese covid cases were told to go home on public transports and should self-quarantine.
Where are you getting this from? Certainly bad cases can damage your lungs, but it doesn't sound like doctors are saying that this disease permanently makes you less healthy.
Where are you getting this information from? You're suggesting everyone who gets this will have fucked up lungs, that's a pretty bold claim to make without sources to back it up.
Yah, I know. :( I just worry, and he obviously has to go through LAX, etc...
There's a third possibility: it's possible that people carry detectable virus for longer than was previously assumed. I've seen no reports claiming that the subjects were becoming symptomatic again, simply that they had positive tests after recovery and after previously having tested negative
This doesn't necessarily mean that they're infectious though. It's possible to carry virus fragments that show up on tests that still inactive. But we don't know.
Been arguing with a friend over his planned trip to Japan. He thinks the caution is overblown and since the virus has spread he is likely to get it one way or another. I think he still needs to exercise caution rather than risking increase risk of exposure.

Someone in Brooklyn has it.
Well shit. Wonder when nyc will be able to test
No confirmation of this that I am aware of other than the strange wording in that Guardian article.
How many countries have been confirmed today? I think 4 so far? Mexico, Monaco, Iceland...
So it made it to new York :/Reddit - Dive into anything

Wouldn't be surprised. They are handling this like it's a politic a thing. That will only make the issue worse
