It was although it didn't fill me with much confidence to be fair.

The goal is herd immunity no matter how it is a achieved.

Medics fighting COVID-19 in a hospital in Cheshire seem to have cut mortality rates and improved the chances of a quick recovery from the virus by adapting their breathing machines normally used for a sleeping disorder.The clinicians say by treating COVID-19 patients early with their "black boxes", it's meant there's less need for the more intrusive and invasive ventilators and they've experienced a far quicker recovery rate

Anyone seen that france are trialling nicotine patches on people?
They have found smokers seem less likely to get infected and believe somehow the nicotine could block the virus spreading in your body.

fools gold though as they admit they don't know if contracting the virus give immunity and if it does how long it will work

A vaccine gives herd immunity to a virus.

WHO lady, Maria Van Kerkhove talking about antibody and different trials on CNN
Takes a week to two weeks to make antibodies
Test results really vary from 2% in one country to 14% in germany ,there are different tests being used
Lower than the early models predicted,they expected more people to have had it
Antibodies tests can tell you have antibodies but still can't tell you exactly how much immunity,quality of immunity or duration(as dr whity said yesterday. no country in the world is giving individual advice based on the results but the tests are good enough for these surveys ,learning as we go along).
The new york state trial -for new york city saying 21% showed up as having been infected and have some antibodies,again the mayor won't be drawn on asumptions on the quality of the immunity
The results are lower than WHO thought for antibody positive people which leaves a large amount of the population who can still catch it and we really need the vaccine this is going to be around for a long time
They (WHO)are keeping track on all of the studies and tests being used and who the test subjects are,important to know what protocol they are using and what test as there are a few different ones being used,the sample of people is important,can't just be frontline people,has to be a mixture,every study is a different make up of subjects
100's of trials going on with current drugs as well,everyone trying to find something that we can use whilst waiting on the vaccine
The gilead trial on one of the available anti viral drugs has been stopped
Nothing so far that is proving useful,weeks/months away from knowing anything,
The vaccine we make for now should work even if the virus mutates as it won't change much
People are most infectious early on ,right when they start to feel unwell
When people have their temp scanned before you go to work or flying it might not show anything as some people don't get a temp at the start
That was about it,she is worth listening to if come across her

Are you fucking serious?
Because nearly every country has been in lockdown.
Honestly, I worry that everyone has the same amount of voting power as everyone else.

Yes, the world. Some 4 billion people are currently on lockdown globally.
Some weak evidence suggesting that Covid19 could be seasonal and may not affect tropical regions so badly all other things being equal.
An aerosol of the virus in saliva was tested by a US lab and the results presented to the US coronavirus taskforce. Yesterday, they were presented at the Trump show. The results re sunlight are not surprising. UVC kills life - it disrupts the bonds between molecules in nucleic acids because the energy of the light in this wavelength band are comparable to the energy levels in some atoms in nucleic acids. The results of temperature and humidity are interesting and weren't to my knowledge known.
By the way, no point opening your curtains and bathing your room with sunlight, or turning on the light bulb. Glass blocks UV light. Normal light bulbs don't produce UV light.
This suggests that the virus should struggle in the tropics and should be seasonal, and outside in a hot Summer's day might be quite a safe environment provided you are sensible regarding people.
I wish they had investigated saline conditions.....salt can disrupt membrane and cell wall structures due to osmosis. And of course would be relevant to beaches.
Take the top line as normal conditions inside the house (to be honest I don't know what humidity inside the house is), and then look at how sunlight, increased temperature and increased humidity have on the virus half-life.....the time for half the virus levels to be 'denatured'.
This does not mean that Covid19 cannot thrive on the equator - see how it has spread in the dormitories of migrant workers in Singapore (equator). There thousands of migrant workers have caught the virus.
It should be easier to fight the virus near the equator and in the Northern hemisphere at high latitudes it may return in the Autumn / winter. This is only suggestive. Don't get too carried away with it but I thought it was quite interesting and may have some implications for behaviour and lockdowns. Parks/beaches may not be a bad place to be in the Summer if they are not crowded.
A bright day on snow would be good (skiing) a chalet would not! Snow reflects light - hence skiers are prone to sunburn.
UAE,Qataris, Iranians, Iraqis might be happy to read this.
I am struck though about fevers and body temperature. It does OK in bodies at 98 F.
This is just interesting and slightly suggests that Covid19 may return in the Autumn/Winter where it will survive outside for slightly longer than would otherwise be the case.

He'll have misunderstood something he's been told. UVC has been suggested many times as a tool against viruses and has been used, and is used.
From a paper that was in Nature.
Airborne-mediated microbial diseases such as influenza and tuberculosis represent major public health challenges. A direct approach to prevent airborne transmission is inactivation of airborne pathogens, and the airborne antimicrobial potential of UVC ultraviolet light has long been established; however, its widespread use in public settings is limited because conventional UVC light sources are both carcinogenic and cataractogenic. By contrast, we have previously shown that far-UVC light (207–222 nm) efficiently inactivates bacteria without harm to exposed mammalian skin. This is because, due to its strong absorbance in biological materials, far-UVC light cannot penetrate even the outer (non living) layers of human skin or eye;
Think about the size of viral particles
