A vaccine? A cure?

I've read that this corona virus is a strain of the same virus as the common cold.馃

Money. The big drug companies want all of our money that's why there isn't any cures.

@Carla i here that there are cures or even some help in Europe but it cost so much the people here in the USA can't afford it.

@Suethenudist hmmm..
For this new virus or a cold?
Suethenudist31-35, F
@Carla just in general. Like cancer or other diseases.

@Suethenudist I know there are claims to cures. I'm not certain how reliable those claims are.
I do know that there is more money to be made from chronically ill folks than those that are cured.

@Carla true.

@Suethenudist No, life is not that simple or convenient, and this stuff costs us trillions - and we have a competitive medical industry in place.

Fixing cancer is just very, very hard - we are a collection of billions of self-replicating biological machines, and there are a lot of chances for replication to go haywire.
