Re: When do we expect Trump to lift the travel ban against UK?
Besides, I am almost somewhat sure I had it in February, before it.became widely known that it was in the US. I had severe bronchitis, pneumonia, fever and the MD could not explain what it was - just 'upper respiratory infection' Nearly everyone in the leadership team at work had it over the course of Jan and Feb, some more severe than others. This was before one could get a test. I certainly want an antibody test when they become reliable.

I'm not suspending my life for this thing. I wear a mask, but that's as far as I am willing to go for something that is only 4% mortality.

So you don't care how many people catch it because of your cavalier attitude?
Wearing a mask is the requirement, so that's what gets done, but no, I am not staying at home (being essential will do that for you) and I am still grocery shopping when I need to grocery shop. I will also still vacation in October given the opportunity to do so.
Do I, or should I, feel guilty about that? Not so much. I'm complying with my states orders.

This oxford trial is going well apparently. After 28 days of exposure, vaccinated monkeys ARE NOT getting the Covid and it is practically being sprayed into their faces or injected into them from how it sounds. It probably isn't like that but they are being exposed to far higher concentrations of Covid than are in a society 5 weeks into a nationwide lockdown.
Human trials of this are maybe 7-10 days in gradually being increased from 2 people to 5 to 10 to however many over many weeks.

Still a LONG way from success.

University of Oxford researchers have begun testing a COVID-19 vaccine in human volunteers in Oxford today. Around 1,110 people will take part in the trial, half receiving the vaccine and the other half (the control group) receiving a widely available meningitis vaccine.

That's the bit that gets missed out from most mainstream media reports. 
Even with an unprecedentedly fast vaccine development timeline there are going to be many months between "tests starting" and a vaccine being produced commercially.

Virgin Atlantic have closed all Gatwick operations and don't expect to return to pre-Covid capacity for 3 years.

It was the NY Post the only one I can due to GDPR that said the monkeys seem to be immune after 28 days. We will know about this vaccine by end of July I think.
