[FRIAM] What's coming - how to defeat the virus

[Jochen Fromm]

I believe it makes sense to wait until a real vaccine is found. US drug developer Moderna from Cambridge, Massachusetts, is running first tests for a coronavirus vaccine in early-stage trial. Inovio from Pennsylvania works on a similar drug. The German company BioNTech SE also tries to be among the first companies that find a cure. https://nationalpost.com/news/world/u-s-drug-developer-moderna-doses-first-patient-with-coronavirus-vaccine-in-early-stage-trial-J.

If you have the upper respiratory form, they can deter and ameliorate the descent into the lungs. They help minimize the "slime" that covers your alveoli when the virus and your antibodies fight and kill each other. This lessens the stress from lack of oxygen in your blood.davewOn Sat, Mar 21, 2020, at 10:44 AM, Jochen Fromm wrote:The doctor who helped to defeat smallpox explains what's coming: either enough people get the disease and become immune, or a vaccine is developed to help us become immune. Both would stop the virus. https://www.wired.com/story/coronavirus-interview-larry-brilliant-smallpox-epidemiologist/Labs around the world are working on a vaccine, for example the Baric Lab in North Carolina and the Denison Lab in Tennessee. The German company CureVac in Tübingen is also trying to find a vaccine. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41591-020-00002-4-J.============================================================FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listservMeets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's Collegeto unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.comarchives back to 2003: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove
