CHINA’S VACCINE

China claim they have made a vaccine and a very small clinical trial is underway . That said ., it is just the beginning .. the vaccine needs to be tested on large clinical trials which represents all age groups /demographIcs . They also needs to study the immune response short and long term . They cannot just unleash a vaccine which is not approved and safety /efficacy validated .

Approved vaccines will likely still be a year plus away .... they can however test the vaccine experimentally . China are in a good position to fast track a vaccine . They have considerable experience with SARS and other corona viruses .
The link above lists some of the other countries working on a vaccine ready or close to ready for testing .

Still a waiting game waving

Toks, you have bought into a hoax.

From Business Insider:
"Here's what we know about the bizarre coronavirus conspiracy theory that led to people setting fire to 5G masts"

A bizarre conspiracy linking 5G and coronavirus has taken hold in the UK and being peddled by conspiracy theorists and celebrities on social media. . . The conspiracy theory and its various offshoots are baseless but have led to real-world harm, with several arson attacks thought to have been perpetrated on 5G masts around the country. . .

There is no evidence that 5G — or any other kind of radio waves — are harmful to people. Radiowaves are found at the low end of the electromagnetic spectrum, and as such produce non-ionizing radiation, meaning they do not damage the DNA in cell tissue.

International radiation watchdog the International Commission on Non‐Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) set new guidelines for 5G frequency last month and confirmed that the frequencies at which 5G will be deployed will be safe.

"The guidelines have been developed after a thorough review of all relevant scientific literature, scientific workshops and an extensive public consultation process. They provide protection against all scientifically substantiated adverse health effects due to [electromagnetic field] exposure in the 100 kHz to 300 GHz range," ICNIRP chair Dr Eric van Rongen told the Guardian.

YOur right! tamiflu derives from Chinese star anise mainly the acid ( shikimic) that it produce is the ingredients. newly research also discover that such acid can be found in ginkgo biloba. BUt nothing beats good and proper hygiene specially hand washing!
