Been working from home since mid-March and even though the country is kind of being odd about this whole catastrophe, hanging with my cats way more is nice

I have four. outside of the demands to sit on the balcony and one’s preoccupation with nibbling on charge cables (and only certain ones), it isn’t too bad, they’re just happy I’m suddenly home all the time.

DEATH TO AMERICA
:xickos:

Apart from the time it will take to develop, trial, and mass produce a vaccine (12-18 months), it is unlikely that any vaccine will be practicable. The reason why is immunity to respiratory viruses (like corona) doesn’t last long – 6 months to 2 years. We would have to keep vaccinating everyone in the world every year (or maybe every 6 months if we are unlucky). This just isn’t going to work in the real world (especially poor countries) and is one of the reasons we don’t have a vaccine for the coronavirus strains that cause the common cold. Unless we can drive the current dangerous SARS-CoV-2 strains to extinction we are going to have a problem with this disease indefinitely.

Is this because they suck at replicating (and thus mutate) or due to how our antibodies work, or something else? I'd love to read more about this if possible.

one thing I do miss about the office is the canteen for decent, cheap hot food at lunch every day, having the extra effort of cooking in my half-hour lunchtime is getting me eating a lot of sandwiches etc.

I got a box in the post today I'm looking forward to trying for a quick meal:

pro tip: cook lots of dinner so you can just heat up the leftovers next day for lunch

pro tip 2: pasta + hacked up tomato + hacked up ball of mozzarella + salt-pepper-olive oil is a nice 15 minute meal

Noodles cooked nicely and not too sticky, I put in a handful of frozen peas and some shredded-up chicken. Good little meal, spicy but not inedibly so. Definitely pick up a pack to try, have a beer alongside as a coolant.
