Coronavirus
rahab:
It is a RNA virus and those mutate often so there is no sense in making or getting any vaccine of any sort.
It originated with close contact with bats and humans.
Best defense is to keep your immune system strong!!
Richard Myers:
Thank you for that information, Rahab. and, welcome to our fellowship!
Can you explain why it is that vaccines are developed for the flu each year? Is there a difference between the type of virus? They are not usually RNAs? I believe they have a vaccine for other Corona Viruses for animals.
Are SARS and MERS both RNA viruses?
Richard Myers:
Realizing the interest in this possible "pandemic," we have begun this topic to gather more information, and to add a warning that the connection between animal diseases and human disease is real and worthy of study. Having ceased eating the carcasses of dead animals and their milk and eggs over 30 years ago, I have lived twice as long as my father who died young from a heart attack. Are we not blessed to have knowledge of the risks in eating animals products?
Here is an article I found helpful in learning more about the Corona Virus that began in China and is spreading to other countries. It is has been named 2019-nCoV and is being called Covid19. The 19 indicates it was discovered in 2019. It belongs to the family of corona viruses which include SARS and MERS. They infect humans, other mammals, and birds. The thinking so far is that there is a connection with bats and Covid19. source
While the infection rate world-wide is a concern, how would we compare the numbers to those infected and dying from cancer? Gives pause to wonder why so many neglect to be more concerned about the relationship between eating animal products from animals that have a cancer virus such as dairy cows.source
Richard Myers:
How does the Covid19 virus spread? Like many other respiratory virus diseases, it can spread when infected people cough into the air. The virus then can infect by breathing in the virus while it is in the air. It can also infect the eyes from the air or by touching the eyes with hands that have come in contact with the virus. If someone coughs into their hands and then you shake hands with them, the virus will be transferred to your hands. Washing the hands can remove the virus. If not removed, it can then move into the mouth, eyes, nose and infect the individual. Period of symptoms can be from 2 to 14 days after infected. Some can remain without symptoms and can carry the virus to others.
If the virus came from bats, how was it transmitted to those who first became infected? When we read the Bible, we may gain much information as to how disease can be transmitted to humans.

Thank you.
They develop the vaccines based on the information already shown in hopes that the same strain will appear again. Often times it does not. Unfortunately, people will get sick anyway unless they have a strong immune system.
Yes SARS and MERS were/are both RNA viruses and mutate often and therefore it is very hard to try and predict how they will mutate....
If you go back in history I believe that we had a seminary in Minnesota back in the 1918s that had a great cure rate (100%) for those students that came down with the flu. I believe they used lots of bed rest and did foamentations on the patients. It would seem to me with that kind of a cure rate, we should all look into this and do these kinds of procedures on those that are sick today!!
I wish I had more of the details. Maybe someone here does. I'd welcome anything that you can dig up.
