Not at this point, just the reception, food, and mingling of lots of people. Stay tuned for further updates.

Maybe initial human trials, first out of three runs that has to be successful.

Also keep in mind that since the discovery of the Corona Viruses in the ‘60s there has never been a successful vaccine. Don’t hold your breath, unless that’s the only way to avoid getting sick.

Exclamation 37 days

A history lesson about the Influenza of 1918: https://anon.to/40IvW9

Nothing is stopping airlines from:
  • Creating a policy or adjustment to the contract of carriage forbidding anyone who is sick of anything from traveling.
  • Providing Clorox wipes to everyone all the time, not just for COV-19.
  • [added] Allowing any airline employee for calling out sick without fear or reprisal (as is the case now). Current airline policies, particularly BJ's use of PTO, dependability policy encourage sick people being at work.

Sorry to point this out, but did you really reference articles from The Mirror and The NY Post??
If you’re going to try to appear informed, at least site reputable sources.

Define deputable. Do you mean left-wing echo chambers, the controlled media, state propaganda media (e.g. China's news service), MSDNC, wikipedia?

Maybe I showed you these so that you could at least have it on your RADAR and do further investigation on your own, hopefully leading to actual scientific literature and not just summaries written by "journalists" who wasted their $$$ on a "college" "education".

I personally only respect sources with reproducible results, preferably as a result of the Scientific Method. The antidote to everything is critical thinking.

I love Apple's auto-correct. I finally figured out how to let me make my own spelling errors.
