My fear is by the time we get a vaccine it'll have mutated into something else and we'll start this whole thing all over again.

And my biggest fear is that keeps happening indefinitely. But I guess humans will just have to cope.

Kids 10 years from now "Whoah, you actually went outside for *most* of the day?? Not 30 mins?? What was that like?"

"Well back then we had these things called jobs that required us to leave the house."

Yeah but the vaccine is shit. Imagine if the flu was straight up replaced with COVID-19 every year going forward. World looks like a totally different place IMO.

By all accounts Corona is not changing very fast.  But we never got a vaccine for SARS 1 so we might not even need to worry about the vaccine being outdated.

I don't get this vaccine hope. I thought making a vaccine for a virus was pretty much impossible.

If not, why do we still have HIV, herpes, the common cold etc etc etc

You have to find a way to deliver it. The vaccine has to induce an immune response. The antibodies have to persist long enough to prevent an infection. There are a lot of factors that make vaccine production specific to the type and morphology of pathogen.

To eradicate a virus the virus has to mutate infrequently enough that you can vaccinate against it before the next strain develops. Zoonotic illnesses tend to come back because animals are reservoirs for the illness that persist between outbreaks.

Tetanus, tuberculosis and many other diseases you get vaccines for are bacterial infections

Anti bacterials, of course, are common and effective

Chicken pox apparently has a vaccine now, but when we were kids we had chicken pox parties

Should have said most. And a chicken pox vaccine has existed for 25 years.

Most of the diseases listed are viral.
    Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR combined vaccine)
    Rotavirus
    Smallpox
    Chickenpox
    Yellow fever
    Hepatitis A
    Flu (shot only)

Point is that most viral diseases do not have working vaccinations despite years of effort.  Most people think a vaccine will be 14 months off because we have human trials now, but it's also very possible it never comes.  Like we have been working for decades fo vaccines for malaria, hiv etc.  We just got one for ebola after how long?  And we never got one for SARS 1 which is the closest relative of this.  The idea that a year from now we just take a shot and fixes this thing is rather improbable.

Counterpoint, many viral illnesses don't directly threaten 1st world capital so intensely to engage a herculean counter.

Yes, I do believe I read an excerpt of something observing mutation bases of various samples and the extrapolated time for serious mutation was significantly greater than standard flu strains.
Of course, this is all subject to change.

There are quite a few turning points ahead, things could change considerably for better, or for worse.
Examples.

Some Chinese people will have been recovered for possibly 4 months soon, big target for analysis.
Good: Antibodies persist for majority and immunity too
Bad: Immunity expires quick-ish

Loads of treatments rushing along in testing
Good: Some work to some extent
Bad: They do not work

Unknown case quantity
Good: Larger than expected indicated mortality and hospitalization rates overshot
Bad: Mortality rates and hospitalization rates not overshot by much if at all

The path forward has much variety, from the best path to the many middling to the horrible worst of all cases scenario.
Multiple good results bodes well for, well, everyone and everything. Multiple bads means a long hell ahead.

Not when I was in grade school.

Counterpoint, many viral illnesses don't directly threaten 1st world capital so intensely to engage a herculean counter.

There are two medical issues that seriously affect the richest and most famous in society:

Male pattern baldness, and herpes (cold sores).

You can guarantee that endless funding goes into solving these problems because all the rich famous people would pay handsomely.

And yet here we are.

Quote
Clinical trials for a herpes vaccine that looked so promising in 2017 have fizzled.

Two companies have announced they are no longer actively pursuing a herpes vaccine after results from their clinical trials.

A third company in the midst of clinical trials outside the United States has become embroiled in a federal investigation.

In June of 2018, executives at Vical Incorporated announced the phase II clinical trial for their herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) did not meet “its primary endpoint.”

“We are extremely disappointed with the outcome and based upon these results, we will be terminating the HSV-2 program,” said Vijay Samant, president and chief executive officer for Vical, in a press release. “We are indebted to our patients for their participation and our investigators for their steadfast support.”

https://www.healthline.com/health-news/herpes-vaccine-treatment#1

And while the average rich person doesnt care about malaria or Dengue, hasn't Bill Gates spent like 7 trillion dollars on malaria research?

Some puzzles just can't be solved.

Of course, if you want eternal hope, just become a Nintendo fan. I'm sure we will have a new Pilotwings, Metroid, and Advance Wars games this holiday season!

I haven't been in quarantine, but I have violated lock down many times over. lol

And it's fucking weird man, because there are cameras everywhere, and the cameras move. I never took much notice of them before, but now I can see them moving around looking at shit. It feels like City 17. It's so surreal. If I go out more than once, I start wondering if the people watching the cameras are getting suspicious of me. So now I am thinking of a route that will avoid the cameras.

Mutations aren't this magic thing that will suddenly make a virus super lethal, completely resistant to vaccines, etc.

In any case, coronaviruses' replication system has very high fidelity (compared to many other RNA viruses) so there's that. All the sequencing data so far has shown that it's very stable.

I think we will be living with on and off lockdowns for the foreseeable future unless they find a cure that people can use at home and prevents hospitalization.
At some point new infections will be rare but the chances to completely eradicate this virus are small given that it is global and highly contagious.

Flying will be less accessible for most of the population, airlines won't be able to confine a lot of people in small places and move them overseas.
You'll probably get tested weeks before each flight and then again if you board. In some of the hardest hit countries masks will be common.
We'll see stuff like the iMask to make it 'fashionable'. Shaking hands will not be a 'thing' people do anymore, physical contact will be reduced to a minimum.
Any sort of 'contact' sports or professions will be highly regulated going forward.

It'll be like 9/11, when everything changed after. The post corona-world will be much different.
Less globalization, less human contact and more digital and virtual interactions plus even more automation.
The grand bargain will be that in exchange for less freedom the governments will more strictly regulate healthcare and the economy, protecting income, jobs and welfare.

All sorts of new jobs will appear to deal with unemployment. Like how the GDPR introduced a data officer businesses, stores and government buildings will now require
a hygiene officer to keep everything clean and sanitized. Larger corporations will require their own healthcare, testing and disinfection teams.

Open office spaces will probably be less common, with shields between work spaces or back to more separate offices.

People will adapt to this new way of living but it'll be weird for us to remember 'the good old days'.

It'll be more authoritarian with certain groups in society not willing to adapt or change (think large religious gatherings, illegal parties, youth loitering about etc.) hit the hardest.
This is already happening right now by the way.

The government will incentivize people to move closer to their work or families to reduce travel.
As people and businesses realize there's not much benefit in living in crowded cities as space in bars, restaurant and at events is limited they will more spread out to different places.
Public transport other than trains and planes with far less seats will be a thing of the past but cars will require mandatory disinfection.

Also the internet, video games, apps and VR will boom like never before. As will movies but those will depend even more on green screen effects.

Numbers are a few days old, but this Spiegel articles say that Germany had conducted 900k+ tests in late March, with 7% returning positive. It's not necessarily representative for a number of reasons (the article has a few, on top of the obvious), but I would cautiously think it's more evidence that we won't discover that a majority of the population got it yet and we're conveniently and already over that hump.

The city of Munich (roughly 1,5 million people) wants to do random antibody tests. A true random sample would help to estimate the number of people who are asymptomatic or already contacted the virus without ever noticing it.

Problem in some cases seems to be that some cases got a negative test, but a test with the tracheal secretion showing a positive test later on.
Good thing is that doctors will give you a sick note either way.

US at 650 deaths and its not even noon.

The "good" news is that 594 of that is from New York state, and they seem to report their numbers early in the day (not sure if it covers the previous calendar day, or a 24-hour period that overlaps) so that particular number won't go up for the day (and is lower than yesterday's figure).
