Posts: 6686Well, there is a reason for economics to be grouped together with social studies at a lot of higher learning institutions. Because it economics is essentially that. A social science. And as such, it all resolves around combating cultist paradigms.

Posts: 4759Thanks but I think it is a long way to go to find a vaccine, it seems even the people who got the covid are only protected several months could be the same effect for any vaccine, we are still waiting for the HIV vaccine also promised and discovered 100 times.

Posts: 318Oxford UK Vaccine Trials are looking good!
If anyone is interested just Google the Covid-19 vaccine trial at Oxford UK. They have become increasingly confident that their trials will be a success as early as September this year.
As the UK doesn't have a large amount of the virus circulating the third stage of the trial is being done in Brazil on a larger scale where the Covid-19 rate is high.

At risk of being further labeled a racist, I will make a couple quick points. Maybe not so quick.
As I read this you have already labeled me a racist and part of the problem. I suspect this is because I demonstrated pride in my Asian heritage. I accept that you may find my Asian success unfair. I will counter your claim that my Asian pride is part of the problem with the theory that people who see racism everywhere are a bigger part of the problem. Racism exists globally. Yes, I have seen Asians demonstrate their dislike for impure blood first hand. In some cases this intolerance is lessening but in predominantly Asian populated areas it still exists strongly, just as it does in white cultures, Hispanic cultures and black cultures.
I showed examples of how one culture accepts the fact they are thrown a crap hand, and they invest in themselves to work their way up. The examples I gave crossed state and international borders. Does investing in their culture eliminate the racist mindsets that surround them, no, but it improves their personal situation, their families situation and their extended families situation. At risk of further offending you I will say the German, Irish, Italian, Polish, etc. Early immigrants to the US did the same thing. Their criminal enterprises fed their intra national social assistance programs. If a culture and people are not willing to invest themselve and tackle the crap hand dealt to them, who else will. Is it racist, cultist, fueling bigotry by creating pride, maybe. On the other hand, not braking out of the cycle of being a victim has proven that victomology, although not genetic, can be passed on to our descendants or cast aside.
My Grandfather worked as a share cropper. He worked years to eventually be able to buy his own land and all of the family came together to build a house. My father graduated High School and immediately started working in a hazardous environment which he did until he was 65. He worked 18 years after that in other manual labor before illness disabled him physically. I joined the military and earned the option to finish university. It took 15 years to finish my degree, my career has been a yoyo of highs and lows. In addition to paying WGs enough to buy a small mansion, I have also paid for my children's college degrees, allowing them to start debt free. Of course, perhaps all this was only possible because of my White Privilege. Nope, one of my former colleagues is African American and we both talked about it for years. Our kids played football together, graduated different schools but all started their careers unburdened by debt. Here we are, African, White, Asian all in the same boat.
Our limiting factors are our minds.

Posts: 49Kind of herd immunity.
Today I saw an interview with a pfizer infectologist in charge of phase 3 of the vaccine that they will try soon in South America. He said what we all already know. If we have 100 infected, 75 are asymptomatic, of the remaining 25,16 have mild symptoms and 8 have complications. The interesting point was when he explained why some places in europe have the covid "under control", such as Spain or Italy, it is because it depends on the number of deaths that each of those countries had and the areas where the virus was focused. For every death, studies estimate that there were 1,000 infections. If we multiply, for example, the 29,000 "official" deaths in Spain, when we all know that there were more, we have 29 million infected. Around 60% of its population. So, we would be talking about of certain herd immunity. We can also explain the same situation in other countries or in cities such as New York, where the number of infections but above all of deaths has dropped considerably. If this opinion makes sense, the important thing would be to know now is for how long the antibodies last in those infected who survived this disease. A couple of days ago, I heard a WHO doctor saying that the antibodies can weaken in a few months but it is not yet known in how many, it could be 6, 8 or 12 months. This information would be important considering the effects of a second wave...

You definitely have skills. Able to hit up strangers on a nude beach is not an easy thing. Yeah, US sucks. You got away lucky w / just a warning. There have been multiple reports of couples arrested for public sex in FL. Here is one from a few weeks ago. You get arrested for doing what comes naturally. What a country!

BTW, since you do use escorts in US. There is a thread here on sugar babes now on ISG. Perhaps a bit more expensive than escorts? But you seem skillful, and these days sugar babes are desperate. I am staying away from them because I can't take a risk on covid due to family issues but that may not be a problem for you.
