Not really, worse case scenario would be the same as flu vaccine, once a year

Yes, we all know flu vaccines works perfectly.

Wow, quote an article of one instance to verify your comments is not proof of 80% asymptomatic theory. There could be many reasons that affected the result of this particular cruise ship such as defective (Chinese) tests giving false positives or different strain of the virus. All the scientific papers suggest asymptomatic patients account for 40 to 50% of cases. 

Majority of thais in state quarantine are asymptomatic, that's kind of a proof to me.

There is a lot of discussion that this is far from certain, with claims that the immunity is short lived. 

If the immunity is short lived, a vaccine is totally useless.

Its estimated that 45% of cases are asymptomatic for the entire duration of infection. 35% have mild symptoms, 15% are severe infection, requiring oxygen and 5% are critical infections, requiring ventilation.

 

Mild symptoms can still make you extremely sick with long term health problems.

Wondering if they did an exam with a check of his medical history, prior to quarantine? Looks like this may be a case of neglect, indifference and incompetence. Not surprising for this administration. 

Nowadays, al long as it is not Covid related, it seems pretty irrelevant.

The virus has been shown to attack/damage the heart. It also creates blood clots. Pretty sure this is a COVID death.

Yes, before Covid heart attack has never been an issue.

The brainwashing is real.

Only about 11%!

Dream on!

We will soon see, how much it really is!

I bet, way more than 11%!

In my compound here in Bkk, they are closing down shops,restaurants and Mini-market almost on a daily basis.

"Local lockdown" is the new norm in many countries, sounds like you think you are missing out on something else to whinge about.

 

Don't forget your daily dose of "New normal" and " social distancing".

The new brainwashed model citizen.

I guess the terrible european strain is getting weaker nd weaker.

Now the virus is getting badass in India,Brazil,Pakistan,Middle East.

Such a naughty virus.

Exactly.  Unless they keep borders it locked down forever, it is going to come in.  Only putting off the inevitable.

 

But, I guess an agrarian economy can stay locked down forever.  don't need anything from outside to survive.

So we are just waiting to destoy completely world economies to realize this.

meanwhile in a country far far away, Bozo the Clown still refuses to wear a mask and says 99% of corona cases are not that bad, while thousands and thousands of people in that Great Country croaked in make shift tent hospitals. you cant make that stuff up.

It's true that vast majority of corona cases are not that bad.

Is that how you say 4.6 per cent fatality rate? Sounds like gerbil speak. Speaking of gerbils,  POTUS is famously saying 99 percent have no problems, but everyone knows he lies. 

Actually more than 99%, death rate is estimated to be around 0.4%
