    I've heard that donKeys are immune to "purposeful exposure" .

    Mr. Jote was not the only one to rankle at the term "manufactured" .

    The use of "manufactured" implies a lot .

    Some folks out there wanted this thing called the "Wuhan Virus" , or the "China virus" .
    One could suspect that these same people may have manufactured the idea that this thing was intentionally manufactured .

    The call to avoid anywhere is prudent right now . It is not just China .

    We need to be very careful right now because there is a slurry of misinformation out there , and kicking China , or anybody else while the body count still rises is of little use .
    I think we'll find , when the dust settles a little , that China perhaps deserves less kicking than they are getting .

    Scapegoats are not immune to "purposeful exposure" .

    Not quite sure what you’re getting at :cornfused:
    When I read that link it appeared to imply nobody is worried about any mutations at the moment. That’s why I posted it as a response to TBN‘s assertion that a vaccine might be difficult because the virus is mutating “so quickly”.
    Anyway

    What this means for a vaccine

    The mutations likely won’t interfere with the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine.
    In fact, the slow and mild nature of the mutations is good news for a vaccine.
    “The virus is still so similar now to the initial sequence that there isn’t really much reason to think the differences will matter in terms of vaccine,” Neuman said.
    ...
    /comparison to flu vaccine/
    ...
    It should be possible to make an effective COVID-19 vaccine that will provide long-lasting immunity against this particular virus just as we have for many other viruses that do not change rapidly,” Rose added.When we finally have a COVID-19 vaccine, it will most likely protect people against the “vast majority of circulating COVID-19 strains for the foreseeable mutations,” Schleiss said.
    Even if random mutations do occur down the road, Schleiss believes the worst-case scenario is that we’ll see some breakthrough infections, but we wouldn’t have breakthrough life-threatening disease.

    /end cut&paste

    sheesh. Somehow I did read it differently
