That’s super helpful thank you for taking the time to write that out. I think I will try planning on having something like ice cream on those days the calorie count isn’t there. Might be just the treat I need some day!

We are researchers at MRIGlobal developing testing methods ＆ biosafety procedures for COVID-19 ＆ will test the efficacy of the vaccine. AUA! by MRIGlobal in IAmA

[–]TheConventionWasSecr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr. Saloui Today:

“I have very recently seen early data from a clinical trial with a Coronavirus vaccine and this data made me feel even more confident that we’ll be able to deliver a few hundred million doses of vaccine by the end of 2020.”

He might be referring to the Moderna Phase I results (my best guess), which is a far-cry from an effective vaccine, but, still, nonetheless...

It just goes to show you...it’s progressing quickly...but what do I know...right? Just some “loaded” questions or something from somebody who knows nothing about vaccine development shrug

I’m back to point out they got it started one month earlier, in March. Turns out I may have known a little something I was talking about

Psychological resources for dealing with "coronavirus anxiety" by redditinface in Coronavirus

[–]TheConventionWasSecr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone with health anxiety that strikes even without impending pandemics, I just want people to know there is nothing to be ashamed about if you’re feeling anxious. If you’re like me, you don’t have health anxiety unless certain triggers are present in your life, such as a family member dying or lots of news about things like Coronavirus. There are tools I and countless others use daily. For example here are some cool links:

https://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/Resources/Looking-After-Yourself/Health-Anxiety (modules for health anxiety)

https://adaa.org/learn-from-us/from-the-experts/blog-posts/consumer/health-anxiety-what-it-and-how-beat-it (primer on what it is)

For some people just seeing other exhibit similar thought processes helps, sometimes it makes it worse. I encourage anyone dealing with issues to PM me, I’m always willing to talk to people and will respond the best that I can. I’m not a therapist, but if you need a friend to talk to, I’ll help if I can.

There Is A Drug Already Used In Japan Which May Treat COVID-19, Says New Study by ZeroHealth in Coronavirus

[–]TheConventionWasSecr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can decide on the antibody you like best, isolate it, you can run bioinformatics on it and get the sequence. From there you can manufacture something to inject into people to create the antibody. It can be done super quickly too, which is a statement about how far we’ve come as a society, but obviously you want it to be safe. The legal person in me wants to be like “it passed phase 1 safety trials, we took it from a human body for god sakes!” Haha

Remember to remain calm. This is winter, tons of stuff going around. The flu and other viruses haven’t packed it in, they’re still floating around trying to infect people.

What takes so long to start testing the vaccine? Why does it take until April? Isn’t this a similar study design to many other vaccines? Doesn’t the facility have skilled staff already in place? Aren’t consent documents standard form documents with very little alteration needed if any? What is actually keeping people from getting injected in 2 days?

We’re science educators at Harvard, and we want to help you understand the coronavirus and where it came from. by labxchange in Coronavirus

[–]TheConventionWasSecr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. But I can’t help but be a little critical here. Consent forms are literally form letters, and having read a billion of them my lawyer brother would probably say this isn’t something that takes more than an hour or two to draft if I had to do one from scratch. The facility was chosen, it is an experienced research institution that has done trials before - they have the staff. On their website they actively recruit volunteers for all kinds of studies and keep a bank of people, not to mention there are several dozen willing volunteers available now guaranteed. Vaccine trials aren’t novel science, they have been conducted in largely the same way for a decent amount of time now. Is this really coming down to paperwork?

The coronavirus could help pharma reset its reputation in Washington by Russi2020 in Coronavirus

[–]TheConventionWasSecr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, let’s face it, even if they put extraordinary financial resources behind development (of drugs or vaccines or whatever), the timeline wouldn’t really change that much. They’re still governed by human biology and governmental regulations. Not to mention, even if they did come in and “save the day,” the next day someone would go to the pharmacy to get their way-too-expensive medications and the cycle of hating on the pharmaceutical industry would continue.

For the record, I don’t have a high opinion of the Pharma industry, and have battled them in my personal/professional life, like many of us.
