Coronavirus

The US government is now preparing for 18 months of the coronavirus pandemic, including multiple waves of illnesses. The ominous announcement comes after cases in the US spiked 40% in just 24 hours. About 9,000 Americans have now tested positive for the virus, and at least 149 have died. Singapore also reported its biggest single-day jump in cases, and South Korea, which has been watching the number of infections slow with reserved optimism, is now seeing a new spike in cases and clusters. Meanwhile, India is bracing for the arrival of 26,000 people from the Persian Gulf region, mostly blue-collar workers returning home from labor contracts in Gulf countries. The new arrivals will be quarantined for 14 days. And there is some brighter news out of China: The country has reported no new local infections for the first time since the pandemic began months ago, marking a critical step in containment. Follow

There has been a malaria vaccine since 2015 but the problem is it’s poor efficacy rate.

Jdeuster— tanning beds huh? I’m sure someone out there will welcome that timely suggestion.

Sorry, Kenna. Didn't mean to add to the misinformation. Just figured if there was a vaccine, it wouldn't kill so many people.

I just don't want to think there is an "easy fix" out there, so that people get careless.

Horseshoe1– malaria is still a huge problem worldwide because even the vaccine that there is for it is not very effective. Most of the deaths are in sub Saharan Africa but when I was in Vietnam in the 1970s we had a few patients die from it. I have only cared for a couple of malaria patients in the US — they were not new patients to the disease but were having recurrence episodes. Most docs in this country have never seen malaria and have a difficult time including it in their differential diagnosis.

Chloroquine is what is used in Africa for the treatment of malaria. That is part of the thought process for trying it on our current problem. There are few cases of this Corona virus in that part of the world.
