I actually don’t doubt that this covid vaccine research is unprecedented only because this illness has affected everyone and the world economy, meanwhile HIV affects poor African nations and gay people moreso than anyone else and it didn’t cause a massive global shutdown.
 

i don’t know if people remember the HIV/AIDS epidemic starting in the 80s but that poo wasn’t taken seriously in America. The Reagan administration was laughing about the “gay disease” in press conferences. It wasn’t until some white kid in suburban Illinois contracted the disease that America took it seriously. Globally it was taken much more serious. And hundreds of millions of people have died from HIV/Aids since the 80s. Nowadays if you contract HIV, you can live a normal healthy life with antiviral treatments that make it so you have zero viral load which means no spreading. That took decades to get to that. Years of people taking treatments that led to shorter lives because it affected major organs.

Von Miller tested positive with flu like symptoms. This virus is weird. My mother in law, who is not in peak health, tested positive and has no symptoms after 8 days since testing and who knows how long she’s had it before the positive confirmation. I’m thinking it has to do with how much of the virus you’re exposed to. Which is why it hits healthcare workers so hard and why they desperately need proper ppe.

Thought you guys were saying it would take 4 years?

Can someone tell me where the vaccine for SARS or MERS are currently? Oh wait there is no vaccine, how strange. They both have been around for 10 years or more and they are both Coronavirus’. Yep we should have a fix in no time.

Glad your mother is okay. Yes this indeed is a weird virus . I wonder why some have symptoms and some don’t

Sweet. So everything I’ve read is saying this could be 3, 4, 5 years. They don’t really know. They can make a vaccine quick. Doesn’t mean it’s going to actually widely work or be safe. It takes years to properly test. 

Those numbers seem high, 18 months to 2 years is what I hear referenced a lot.

Even then that is under normal circumstances, we have a lot more resources going to this then any other type of vaccine in the past.  You have mega corporations loaning out their supercomputers for this.  That doesn't normally happen.  Not to mention the government wil probably relax some of the red tape in this situation.

If normal circumstance is 2 years there is no reason to not think it can go quicker.

I think relaxing the red tape is going to be one of the biggest factors in allowing us to get something quicker than "normal."

Yeah I totally get that. What the scientist I’ve been talking about here who is in vaccine development is saying is that there’s gonna be a lot of bottleneck issues.  We are gonna have multiple vaccines within that time frame. The major issue is the time to study if they are effective or if they cause adverse reactions. I know personally I won’t take a vaccine shot that has been fast tracked that quickly. It fuging sucks but we won’t have enough time to competently study these vaccines.

So, going back to my observation about the approach Sweden is taking and possibly developing herd immunity.  Guess they will be ahead of the world after all?

Where are the massive outbreaks? Those viruses aren't very biologically successful.

      Draft Grades

      By jfra78 · Posted

      SI https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-draft-grades-analysis-for-every-team#_s4q414nom Grade: A- Analysis: The Panthers’ gamble to neglect the defense in the first round paid off, with the team selecting talented edge rushers Scourton and Umanmielen. But their prize from this draft class is the 6' 4", 213-pound McMillan, who will make life easier for Bryce Young because of his massive catch radius. McMillan got dinged a bit in the lead-up to the draft due to a few concerns with his work ethic, but he has the skill set to be the best wideout from this class when it’s all said and done. It’s tough to gauge where the Panthers are in their rebuild, but they’re finally giving Young a fair shake to succeed. —GM PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-grades-for-all-32-teams-2025-nfl-draft#car A+ 1 (8): WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona McMillan — The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan has been one of the most productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate. 2 (51): ED Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Scourton — The Panthers trade up the board for an opportunity to add much-needed firepower on the defensive side of the ball. Scourton, the 29th-ranked player on the PFF Big Board, has an alluring combination of size and pass-rush moves, as well as the versatility to play in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. Over the past two seasons, his 91.7 PFF pass-rush grade against true pass sets charted in the 94th percentile. 3 (77): ED Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss Umanmielen — The Panthers moved up to target some pass-rush help with the selection of Umanmielen. The Ole Miss product was the No. 50 overall player on the PFF Big Board, and his 91.1 PFF grade ranked sixth among players at the position in 2024. 4 (114): RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia Etienne — At 5-foot-9 and 205 pounds, Trevor Etienne, brother of Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, is stoutly built and it showed on tape, as he forced 30 missed tackles on 126 rushing attempts. Despite missing time throughout various points of the season, Etienne still managed to rush for nine touchdowns while putting the ball on the ground only once. With Chuba Hubbard’s emergence this past season, Etienne provides Carolina with a power back who can spell him in short-yardage situations. 4 (122): S Lathan Ransom, Ohio State Ransom — Carolina continues to address areas of need on their defense by selecting Ransom after already adding a couple of edge defenders in previous rounds. The Panthers ranked 31st last season in explosive pass percentage allowed at 17.6% overall and now add to their secondary. 5 (140): DI Cam'Ron Jackson, Florida Jackson — Ranked No. 130 on the PFF Big Board, Jackson is a massive presence who can control the point of attack against the run. He posted an 80.9 run-defense grade last season along with a 9.3% run-stop rate. 5 (163): TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame Evans — Evans dominated defenders with the ball in the air in 2024, posting an impressive 72.7% contested-catch rate. 6 (208): WR Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado Horn — Horn earned a 65.1 receiving grade last season while averaging 11.9 yards per reception. NFL.COM https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-final-snap-grades-for-all-32-teams B- McMillan could be a threat in the mold of Drake London, but Carolina might have been better served by drafting one of the top tight ends (Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren) or defensive players (Jalon Walker) at No. 8. The Panthers doubled up on pass rushers Scourton and Umanmielen on Day 2. They could have improved the secondary with one of those picks, though, and found another edge defender on Saturday. Carolina used the fourth-round pick it received from Dallas in the Jonathan Mingo trade to select Etienne. That decision stood out since the team rewarded Chuba Hubbard with an extension last year, signed Rico Dowdle in free agency and spent a top-50 pick on Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from his second ACL tear in as many years, in 2024. Ransom's downhill play should get him on the field for the Panthers quickly, as will the size and surprising agility of run-stopper Jackson. I expect Evans to thrive early in his career in 12 personnel. CBS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-every-team-giants-raiders-commanders-deliver-steelers-49ers-receive-poor-marks/amp/ I love the way general manager Dan Morgan approached this draft. Get Bryce Young a premier weapon first, then throw loads of resources at the defense. Scourton and Umanmielen have polished games and rocked in the SEC at defensive end.  Etienne is a young runner with Chuba Hubbard-like ability, and Ransom will provide stability at safety. Jackson blocks out the sun on the interior, and Evans is an overachieving tight end who could become a favorite security blanket for Young.  Grade: A-

      Round 4 - Panthers draft Trevor Etienne RB UGA

      The NFL average for running backs on the active roster is 3.6. Cleveland was the only teams to carry less than 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BB0RlET2BU3TiotTmk6hMWl-36d06VAaSLUsr4jS_hM/pubhtml
