I have heard that there is a new strain that is more contagious, but I have not heard that it is more deadly or that the vaccines don't work for it. Could you please include your source for this information? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Genetic drift and natural selection tends to making viruses more virulent (infective) and less deadly. Just makes sense when your purpose is to reproduce yourself. The UK strain doesn't have appeared to have changed the spike protein in a way that should significantly reduce vaccine efficacy. There are also many more vaccines in development/testing. I believe Canada was participating in 14 different trials. Even if one doesn't work there are a number of candidates that probably would. Rapid uptake of an effective vaccine would be the best way to minimize the chance for further genetic drift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Roger Neilsons Towel Posted December 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2020 I know that it inevitably gets brought up with discussing the return of the NHL, but please try to keep coronavirus discussion to the coronavirus thread.

How in the world are we ever going to get back to normal life with this as a concern? I still have a hard time believing that we were never this scared of influenza, and I bet tons of people who never get the influenza vaccine would now be first in line to get the COVID vaccine. The fact that this has taken up so much of our attention has led people to a complete different sense of fear with regards to disease transmission. Some warranted, for sure, but concerns like being an asymptomatic carrier after receiving the vaccine? How are you even supposed to prove that? And for the record, no vaccine is 100% effective, especially for something as easily transmissible and susceptible to mutations as coronaviruses. These viruses have always existed - chances are the common cold you get every so often is caused by some strain of coronavirus. To get to this point though, I mean.. we will legitimately never get back to normal life then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deadline to opt out was yesterday. Nelson was on a two-way deal 700K/160K. His contract could have been fully buried in the AHL if he didn’t opt out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
