Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
One strain is fine, the other isn't, so you want the mild one first, it hopefully leaves you immune to the other

Yeah... my luck's not all that great when it comes to getting sick. I've taken a flu shot every year for who knows how long. And usually, it serves me well. But for the past two years in a row, I've been hit hard by the flu. The reason (excuse) that I hear from my doctor and pharmacist is, "they were off on the type/strain this year."

Who's to say that the vaccine(s) for Covid-19 won't be the same? People will go out, bee-bopping along, thinking that they're safe because they got a shot. And the next thing they know, they're coughing up a lung. I understand that nothing is guaranteed, but I also think that with all the emphasis that the media and others are placing on finding a magic bullet vaccine, a lot of people are going to get a nasty surprise if/when their number comes up when this thing reemerges.

You're spot on. It's like when the weather forecaster (or pollster) says there's a 10% chance of rain or some other event occurring and everyone gets pissed when it happens. Well, it just happened to be that 1 time 10. We can only do so much. As noted in Luxman's post, there are 7 strains of coronavirus.

Do you know more than an expert?

Key points:
  • An expert isn’t always right.
  • An expert is far more likely to be right than you are.
  • Having a strong opinion about something isn’t the same as knowing something.

Whitmer: “Whether you agree with me or not, I'm working to protect your life if you live in the state of Michigan.” It’s a long way from the Flint mantra ‘let them drink lead’.

Getting the feeling lockdown won't go on much longer
Where are you getting that false sense of security?
There were about 28,000 new confirmed infected and about 1200 deaths since yesterday in America.
