Im really sory to read that, i know what is having gastric problems for stress.....and your "stress situation" is worse than all i lived.

 

yeah, actually my problems didn't come originally (only) because of stressful situations...it's more complicated...

 

luckily I could at least improve my situation with treatments and medicines, but first my mom's health troubles (breast cancer in 2011 and leukemia in 2015, then she died in 2017) and now this experience for sure are not helping me at all...

Anyone who says "we found a vaccine" this fast is lying, that one's easy (but I didn't read anything where they actually claimed that).

 

And it is perfectly possible to think at that early stage they couldn't prove human-to-human transmission (yet).

 

it's not so obvious...

 

someone might well have found a vaccine, but the real problem is that normally 12/18 months are needed to have all the necessary tests to be completed before it's made available to the public...

 

so, even if they already found a vaccine, we won't have any chance to use it at least until mid-/late 2021, which is what is more scary about the next months

 

p.s. it looks that the German group CureVacc has actually found something that might lead to an effective vaccine, otherwise it wouldn't make sense all the attempt of most of the "big pharma" companies to get access to those studies...

 

luckily, the EU optioned those studies for 80 millions € to make them public for free, not to have any risk that any speculator from those pharma companies would try to buy and sell the final product at a scandalous price...

Right, I should have said 'a workable vaccine'.

The only positive side about Corona is that air is less polluted,  there's much less noise, people finally started to care about their personal clean less to be humans simply and not trying to harm environment more, it could have been much better if world from a month ago took these steps and all people around world just stayed at home for 2 weeks

Some english language media didnt include them in the list of countries without COVID, plus i made a mistake thinking that DRC is North Korea. They are actually PRK.

Lombardy and Piedmont have already announced a stricter lockdown (until april 15th and april 3rd respectively)...

 

here in Lombardy only pharmacies, supermarkets and newsstands will continue to be available to the audience (but with stricter norms about the distance between the people in line waiting their turn to buy what they need)...

 

full stop for any outdoor sport activity (even if you're alone)...
