I am watching a hospital programme and on day fifteen of the lockdown their oxygen supplies was lasting two days instead of a month and the pipes that delivered the oxygen were packing up,things were so fragile,every patient on oxygen,crashing fast multiplied by hospitals everywhere,relatives not allowed in,1,000 staff off sick of patients themselves
in the one hospital trust

What the nhs have and are doing is amazing

Royal free hospital on BBC catch up

That is a good point,it would have created panic to say at the start how difficult it might be to discover one , i feel like they were too gushing about one realy,it has raised too much expectation,i notice recently there are more experts here and in America that are saying we might not find a good enough one and we might just have to live with it,i think we will find one but not till middle/late next year,we will have treatments though much sooner than that

I think firstly the last two you mention pretty much disappeared and research was much reduced as a result. Regarding HIV for the first couple of decades it was seen as a disease that by and large effected people in society who took drugs or indulged in sexually deviant activities or at least that was how gay people were viewed.

Of course the biggest difference is money. The whole world has suddenly seen fit to give the scientists almost unlimited funding and therefore much more can be done. This virus has managed to bring the world to a grinding halt and that is costing lots of wonga. The bottom line is this, unless we find a cure or vaccine or the virus dies out then the world is royally fucked. Social distancing simply will not work its a fantasy, its not going to work in schools, offices, airports,buses, trains, planes, docors surgeries dentists, hospital...plenty more I can list.

There are no guarantees of course but if we fail the world is knackered because huge chunks of the economy will be permanently finished, much of society will be permanently finished.

There has never been so much resource brought to bare on a worldwide basis.

That is why I am confident we will find answers sooner rather than later.

"O'Leary has also been a Manchester City supporter since an early age. In 2003, he was offered the opportunity to buy a stake in the club but believed the potential benefits did not outweigh the risk and preferred to visit England to watch a few matches each season.[45] He wore a Manchester City shirt when unveiling Ryanair's new destinations to and from Manchester Airport in 2011.[46]"
