Yes, that is why the Chinese restricted domestic travel. 

Knowing it was a huge problem, why allow international travel from Wuhan.

It only allowed repatriation flights from 23rd January

From the time the virus was know to be a BIG problem, to lockdown, China reacted faster than the US, who had lots of warnings ..and people were flying all over the US from hubs


By then, the horse had bolted, anyway

Chinese billionaire who criticized the Chinese President for his handling of the coronavirus disappeared in March. He is found guilty and will be sentenced to 18 years in prison. The Chinese court is one of the best in the world with a 99% conviction success rate.

Evidently, it ain't over until the fat lady sings (or we have a vaccine)

 

Source:  NY Times


My state of Florida has seen a steady decline of weekly cases from 3,000 per million in July (almost twice the national average)  to  800 per million this past week (about equal to the national average).   This decline over the summer resulted from individual behavior because government mitigation measures were not tightened. 

Of particular note is the weekly death rate has remained low, dropping from 40 per million in July to 29 this past week.     

Although Florida has not experienced a noticeable uptick in weekly new cases in Florida, the Europe trend is alarming, particularly considering we never crushed the spread of the virus.   It may be the start of Fall, yet Florida weather is still humid and warm.

MORE VACCINE NEWS

Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)

There has been talk of the FDA approving one or more vaccines for emergency use, such as administering to frontline healthcare workers  first responders.  This may eventually happen; however, The FDA rules do not allow this to happen before the election.


Johnson & Johnson  Vaccine

This renown pharmaceutical company is starting Phase III trails on 60,000 volunteers.  The vaccine is using a viral vector platform that has been researched by J&J for years.  Two factors differentiate it from the other Operation Warp Speed vaccines now in Phase 3 trials (Moderna, Pfizer, AZ-Oxford):

           1.  Most of the 60,000 tests are using a single dose.

           2.  If the vaccine proves safe and effective, its broader use is facilitated by not requiring sub-zero temperature storage.
 

Pfizer Vaccine

The Pfizer vaccine has the furthermost progress of the Operation Warp Speed development candidates. It is reporting some early results from its Phase 3 trial involving 44,000 volunteers.  The goal of the trail is to make efficacy determinations upon reaching a total of 164 virus infections among the 44,000 subjects.   To date, only 32 infections have occurred, and an undisclosed number of those are mildly symptomatic.  Also  not disclosed is how many of the infections were in the placebo group vs. the dosed group. 

Making any efficacy determinations before reaching the goal of 164 infections is debatable.   Also, the small number of infections  indicates how rare it is to become infected.

That's difficult to say with any accuracy.  Have to calculate how long since injection (the time they were considered not to have been infected prior) which is variable as all were not given shots at the same time, probably many just getting their second shot along with increased number of subjects from 30k to 44k that is probably ongoing.

Not enough data to support 'rare'.

What do you mean? Did fake news put out an article that says scientists are fighting with politicians again? Scientists and medical experts are supposed to put out advice and politicians are supposed to run the country based off expert advice coming in from all directions which include from experts in economics.

I wonder how many volunteers come from the age group that are most likely to die from? I don't expect a lot of older people volunteering knowing the vaccines may not work or may not protect a high percentage of people.

Certainly, nothing to belittle or laugh at.  Yes, some countries are having to move to more strict, prudent measures after the holidays and schools back in session, along with getting things back on track before autumn/winter flu season.  IOW they are taking the alarming rise in cases and deaths very seriously now so that full lockdowns are not necessary.

Not enough data to support 'rare'.

Simple math will suffice.  In my state of Florida (not long ago an epicenter of the pandemic) the daily odds today of an individual testing positive are  about 1-in-9,000.   I call that "rare." 

Over two months, the odds of testing positive would thus be 1-in-150. With 44,000 trail subjects, that suggests 300 total infections.  If the vaccine is 75% effective, that reduces the expected result to 75 infections, less than half of the trial's goal. 

Pfizer likely conducted the trails in areas with higher infection rates than Florida.  Also, some of the 44,000 subjects were placebos.

I did not read the details, yet recall one speaker saying the test focused on those from 18 to 55 yo.

Rand Paul doesn't represent the GOP. He's really an independent that ran as a Republican to get the job. If there's one guy in the Senate that would believe the coronavirus was overblown for conspiracy theory reasons, it's Rand. I'm not surprised he was hard on Fauci.

Well the Coronavirus numbers here in the UK are now up around the numbers in the first wave. We're now running into winter and the gov's 'eat out to help out' scheme and letting Brits go abroad on holiday is looking a big mistake in terms of raising virus figures once more. In Scotland, Glasgow uni has had to go into quarantine measures after 126 students tested positive after fresher week activities. They go back a week sooner than English uni students so we are likely to see outbreaks at English Universities in the week to come.

This winter is already looking like it could be a bad one and all we have to show for it is having to see the horror of fat girls in g-strings on beaches at home and abroad >:(

Florida may see the number of daily positive cases start to uptick.   I say this based on my son having to attend three "gatherings," e. g.,  a mandatory continuing education seminar .  He says the percentage of people  wearing masks has dropped considerably from just a few weeks ago.   Most stores still require masks to enter.

The increase and now massive testing it would seem is going to drive up the numbers. However, in consideration of all of the preventative measures taken, do you get the feeling someone is pulling the strings on the numbers as far as "upticks" go? They said there would be one in July, there was then they said there would be one when schools opened in the fall, there is. Now they're saying there will be another massive one with the winter flu season. They have a firm grip on the fearmongering and refuse to let it go
