Safety Review Underway of AstraZeneca'''s Vaccine Trial

AstraZenecas Vaccine Trial Halted due to Transverse Myelitis(inflammation of the spinal cord). The same vaccine trial also had another neurological condition in the early stage of the trial although it was ruled out as previous undiagnosed Multiple Sclerosis.

Hope they are able to figure it out soon.

AstraZeneca/Oxford’s vaccine uses a chimpanzee adenovirus as delivery vehicle

it contains the genetic sequence of SARCOV2's spike

in theory, the chimp virus carries the gene into our cells and using our own cellular machinery to produce SARSCOV2's spike

then our immune system detects the spike and makes antibodies against it

so when we get infected by real SARSCOV2 we already have antibodies

IN THEORY

Problem: the immune system also reacts to the chimp adenovirus

some people may react badly to it

hey hey

Same as Russian adenovirus explained by Dr. Richard Mata.

China Starts Testing Covid-19 Nasal Spray Vaccine in World First - Bloomberg

The newest Covid-19 vaccine candidate to start human testing is the first where volunteers won’t get a painful injection. Instead, they’ll receive a spray through the nose.

China on Wednesday approved phase I human testing for the nasal spray vaccine, which is co-developed by researchers at Xiamen University and Hong Kong University, as well as by vaccine maker Beijing Wantai Biological Pharmacy Enterprise Co.

Intranasal spray has previously been developed as a vaccine for the flu and is recommended for use among children and adults who want to avoid the more common needle injection. While it is not the most frequent choice for delivery, scientists around the world are working to develop sprays as an alternative to muscle jabs for all sorts of vaccines.

The IATF approves proposal by the Economic Development Cluster and Transportation department to "optimize ridership" in public transportation.

The former 1-meter physical distancing measure will be adjusted to .75 meters starting Sept 14, then to 0.5 meters after 2 weeks, and finally to 0.3 meters after another 2 weeks. :O

Old article but this shows how easily sars cov 2 spreads in an indoor, shared space setting.

get infected by going over the salt shaker in the canteen and other dangers of covid | Web24 News

On the morning of January 27, a message awaited in the email inbox of the Webasto offices, the content of which would soon go around the world. The employee who had traveled from China the previous week to meet at the auto parts company reported that she had covid-19. Hours later, a German-based employee tested positive and Bavarian health authorities reported the first case of human-to-human transmission outside Asia.The coronavirus had reached Germany.

German scientists have now reconstructed to the last detail what happened in those days, through interviews, documents and analysis of the virus’s genome. They have gutted how an outbreak spread that the company and the authorities managed to stop short. 16 people were infected in that focus and all have recovered in this unique success story. The reconstruction published in the magazine Lancet, together with the account of what happened in those hours in the infected company sheds light on what was the exact moment of transmission in each case, but also on the importance of early detection and action.

Patient zero had landed in Germany on Sunday 19 from Shanghai to hold a series of meetings at her company’s mother house. Before traveling to Bavaria, he had received a visit from his parents, who came from Wuhan, at that time, the zero zone of the epidemic in China. When she landed in Germany, patient zero was infected, but did not know it.

The following Monday, he showed up at the Webasto headquarters in Stockdorf, near Munich, to give a two-day training. On the night of the 22nd he flew back to Shanghai and already on the plane he felt that something was wrong. “The time he was here, he did not feel bad. Maybe a little tired, but she attributed it to jet lag ”, Now remembers Nadine Schian vice president and head of communication for Webasto, who was part of the crisis cell from the outset. Already in China, the patient went to the doctor and on the 26th she received a positive result for coronavirus. He immediately sent an email to the company in Germany, which due to the time difference did not open until the 27th.

“The first thing we did was inform the entire company”, Schian recalls. Patient zero sent a list of people she had been in contact with during her stay in Germany. Employees who had been face-to-face for more than 15 minutes with the infected person produced another list. The company informed the taxi driver that he transferred patient zero to the hotel where he slept and to the restaurant where he had dinner. They decided to publish an interview in a newspaper so that everyone who might have been in contact with patient zero knew about it and reported. “So there was not so much information on what to do. We have learned a lot in this time, ”thinks Schian now.

On the same day 27, the first positive was confirmed among the employees. He had been with patient zero in a meeting and during the weekend he found himself a bit flu, but on Monday morning, he went to work. When he arrived, he saw the news on the Intranet and his boss sent him home. Upon testing positive, another list was drawn up with people who had been in contact with him in the past 14 days. That was Monday, Tuesday, they decided to close and disinfect the company where 1,200 people work. Nine people tested positive at the company and seven others were infected as a result of the initial infection in Webasto. The focus was extended to a total of 16 people, 12 men and 4 women.

The analysis by the German researchers indicates that patient 1 sat next to patient zero in an hour-long meeting and in a 12-square-meter room. The sequence of the virus genome of patient 2 also allows us to conclude that patient zero transmitted the disease to him. Patient 3 was in contact with patient 1 when they both worked on the same computer at the same time for a short time. Patient 3 later sat next to patient 12 for 90 minutes in a private meeting. Patient 12 flew to Spain on January 28, where he was isolated in a Canarian hospital two days later. Patient 4 also had direct contact with patient zero.

Establishing the contagion between patient 4 and 5 was more complicated. They had not met in meetings together, nor had they met. Except once. It was in the company canteen. They were sitting with their backs to each other. Number 5 turned and asked the salt shaker for number 4. That was two days before patient 4 developed symptoms. “The genome sequence was used to confirm the epidemiological link and clarify the transmitting event in cases where the contact account was ambiguous”, iThey indicate in the scientific article. They assure that the analysis of the virus sequence of both patients leads them to conclude that the salt shaker episode could have caused transmission. The rest of the 16 infections were people who had been in contact with the patient 0, 1, 2 and 5 and who had participated in meetings, at a short distance and for more than 15 minutes and, in the case of 5, also his family, which was infected.

i am sure, they have their reasons why they employ this or that method...

...effectivity.. shelf life.. patents.. cost of production... etc.

is there a scientific basis behind this decision?

Siyempre wala. Kung meron eh di binida na sana nila na based on studies yan.
