    Depends on the type of virus. Some types are very difficult to find a solution. A couple of the current potential vaccines were largely developed from work on SARS, which gave a head start.

        I take it you also saw Kellyanne claiming it's named covid-19 because it's the 19th version of the virus, and covid 1 was the first version?

        Did you see Trump claiming antibiotics used to work on everything, but that bugs got smarter over time so antibiotics started being less effective, and that antibiotics don't work on Covid cos it's very smart?

        Imbeciles.

          Kellyanne Conway is a trusted adviser to the President.
          some of the scientists and doctors say that there could be other strains later on. This could come back in the fall in a limited way. This is Covid-19, not Covid-1, folks. You would think that people charged with the World Health Organization facts and figures would be on top of that. This is just a pause right now. So there is an investigation, examination to what happened. But people should know the facts."

          She has a point, the so called scientists at the WHO should have been on top of that. Instead they were listening to the Chinese and other assorted nutbars.

          The genius corona virus is no match for our genius president. People should know the facts.
