BricksBrotha Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Some hopeful progress coming out of UCSD. ‘Here is a summary of some recent studies on COVID-19. They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that have yet to be certified by peer review. Sugar-molecule 'gates' help coronavirus infect cells.’ ‘Researchers have discovered a sugary residue on the spike of the novel coronavirus that helps it to break into cells and infect them, according to a study published in Nature Chemistry https://go.nature.com/3sBBx7i on Thursday. The molecules that make up the sugary coating, called glycans, act as "gates" that open to let the spike's receptor-binding domain attach itself to a cell. Without this gate, the receptor-binding domain cannot take the shape it needs to break into the cell, Rommie Amaro of the University of California San Diego, who coauthored the study, said in a press statement. If drugs could be developed that "lock" the glycan gates closed, the virus would be prevented from entering and infecting cells.’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears other than our current Delta surge, the next/unknown mutation could the biggest potential threat.

Pseudoty Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 FDA grants full approval for the Pfizer Vaccine for those ages 16 and up clearing the way for more employer mandates, and more event participation requirements. The amount of alleged people still holding out to get the vaccine until it is fully approved is minuscule and will not make that much of a difference towards herd immunity. Those that have decided not to get the vaccine will most likely still not change their minds unless they have a close personal life altering experience with Covid. Also, I still do not think this will make anyone FOMO into the vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 It seems like there are some doubts about the possibility of herd immunity (Delta variant) as vaccinated people are carrying nearly the same viral load as unvaccinated and appears those with vaccines can shed the virus at rates of the unvaccinated.

Now that it's official more organizations can require it. no different then say the polio vaccine (at least from a legal stand point) or a tetanus shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennugsmello Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Regardless of where you stand on covid, vaccines and masks we should all take a moment to consider our position in world history. Just like 9-11, young people will ask what it was like when it happened? What it was like before? How you felt? And most importantly, how the world changed? Interesting ideas to ponder. I believe this is just the opening innings of a gripping seven game series. I for one will grab my popcorn and watch the chaos unfold while preparing for a new world order. Observe and react as the chapters of history are written in real time. I'm already imaging a later inning where kids are ripped from their parents and vaccinated for the "greater good." Or the approaching moment when one portion of society is cut off from the other. Family against family. Brother against brother. Whether just or unjust in its goals, this is when the real games begin. The mask debate will pale in comparison. Buckle up boys. This ride never ends. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
