When a virus is swilling around the population, it can mutate, every time it replicates( infects) there is the possibility of a mutation. While most of those are neutral or even damage the virus, every so often a mutation gives the virus a' fitness advantage,' which makes it more transmissible. Bluntly, the more people with a second dose, the less this thing can mutate in dangerous ways. – Simon Clarke	Found on CNN 2 years ago
CORONAVIRUS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW We outweigh the risks of our situation for other goals, health benefits of connection, and normal routine. It can make people vulnerable to suggestions to bend COVID-19 safety guidelines, she said. We initially may have been fearful, but as we start to gain control we become more confident to confront situations that may have scared us. As a result, as the pandemic continues, some of us have adjusted and started to underestimate the actual threat, ignore situational hazards, and dont take COVID-19 risks as seriously. Speaking to Fox News, Dr. Collin Reiff, a psychiatrist and clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health, likened caution fatigue to swimming in the ocean. People go swimming in the ocean, a potentially dangerous place, and dont take flotation devices with them. If you dont see anyone drown, you feel fine doing it, he said. But if we hear that 100,000 people died [while swimming in the ocean], and 180,000 could drown by October, you would see more people wearing a flotation device, he said, referringto a recent report that U.S. coronavirus deaths are projected to reach 180,000 by the beginning of October unless the majority of people start wearing face masks. Reiff also hypothesized that cognitive dissonance might play a part in those who find themselves having a more lax attitude toward recommended safety precautions. Experts still recommend safety precautions such as practicing social distancing, frequent hand washing and wearing a face covering while in public. (iStock) I think some of it is fatigue, but I think another part of it is that a lot of people havent been [as directly] impacted by the novel coronavirus, he said, noting that the virus had a more direct impact on those living in cities that were hit hard at the start of the pandemic, such as New York City and Philadelphia.

This damn virus is going to keep going until it infects everybody it possibly can, it surely wont slow down until it hits 60 to 70%. – Michael Osterholm	Found on FOX News 3 years ago
New information on COVID-19 indicates that the virus infects the human GI tract and is excreted into sewage. Our assessments indicate that there is a risk of waterborne transmission of the coronavirus, disinfection will kill the virus in water, but we should carefully examine our wastewater systems to ensure that there is minimal public exposure to untreated wastewater. – Aaron Packman	Found on FOX News 3 years ago
This thing's not going to stop until it infects 60 to 70 % of people, the idea that this is going to be done soon defies microbiology. – Michael Osterholm	Found on CNN 3 years ago

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague. – Marcus Tullius Cicero	added by Normando 4 years ago
The real issue is whether and how this nation can come to grips with the legacy of slavery that still infects current society, while we have focused on the social effects of slavery and segregation, its continuing economic implications remain largely ignored by mainstream analysis. – Jackson Lee	Found on CNN 4 years ago
For patients who are healthy, this organism very rarely infects people, if they are infected, most people do fine and essentially never present to the hospital. But in patients who do have liver disease, they're susceptible to much more infection. – Nicholas Hendren	Found on CNN 6 years ago
All the politicians are absolutely without shame because the taxpayer will have to foot the bill for the new elections, it's like some kind of virus infects all those who enter political office. – Esteban Navarro	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
