I was thinking about trying to volunteer for one of the trials but they haven’t hit my area yet. I don’t do much these days with working from home so I may not be the best candidate.

And in not so good news, the former leader of the free world is not going to participate in the global effort to manufacture and distribute a potential vaccine. Geez, remember when we used to be at the forefront of these kinds of things?

More positive news on a vaccine.

Good news for vaccine - coronavirus-fighting antibodies last longer than scientists thought

Antibodies that people make to fight coronavirus last for at least four months after diagnosis and do not fade quickly as some earlier reports suggested, scientists have found. Tuesday's report, from tests on more than 30,000 people in Iceland, is the most extensive work yet on the immune...

Nope, got it from the BBC first, then read more details about it on Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

US says it won't join global effort to find COVID-19 vaccine

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration said Tuesday that it will not work with an international cooperative effort to develop and distribute a COVID-19 vaccine because it does not want to be constrained by multilateral groups like the World Health Organization.

Can't report that for some reason, we're not participating in the global effort to fight the worst pandemic in a century?

Jonas Salk must be rolling over in his grave.

It being a policy decision, you can in the politics thread.

This seems pretty on-point as related to COVID-19.

You took a shot at the current admin. You didn’t even post the article, which is still political anyways. Just limited information to paint someone in a bad light. Keep that in the politics forum.

And there is a dedicated COVID-19 thread for that. This thread is for Disney related items.

Agree take the fake news to the political forum where it can be refuted with facts

I'm on my phone now and don't know how to link articles (I only do this when I'm on a computer), but you can easily find the story on any news site right now.

This thread has rarely been limited to the narrow focus of COVID-19 and its effects on Disney World. It is worth discussing worth why we are not a part of this effort, even if it makes some people uncomfortable. Especially given that Disney World caters to a global audience.

Politics aren't allowed in this thread, and the mods have reminded people repeatedly of this. This thread - per the title - is for COVID as it relates specifically to WDW. There is a generic COVID thread in the politics sub-forum, located here: COVID-19

Keep political posts in the politics thread and out of the general forum. It’s in the terms on the site. I’m not sure why this is so hard to understand. Whether I agree or not. Or others agree or not. Or it makes someone uncomfortable or not...there is a specific thread to have political discussions. It’s not here.
