Now, if we go with what Womble says...

So, we're inoculating every year.

...it means that this vaccine would be like the flu-shots one can get every new season.
So, we're inoculating every year.
But the catch is that the invader has to be an exact match to the example that it has been shown. Every year, there are slightly different variations or strains of the flu which are expected to be spread, this is why you need a flu shot every year.
If CV mutates, it's going to put us in the same boat; we'll need vaccines for each variant. If in fact CV was designed by man, making a vaccine will be far more difficult as it will have been designed from the start to mutate. Man in general is a pretty sneaky, diabolical creature and I would expect an engineered bioweapon to include this capability.

Just released today -- as of october 9th until november 9th, our restrictions are made tighter again.
* cafes, bars and restaurants have to close at 11pm
* no more than 4 people can sit around the same table, exemptions only for families or friends who live under the same roof
* gatherings at home can be with no more than 4 people outside of your housemates, and no more than 10 max (children are not included in the count)
* close contacts are reduced from 5 people to 3 -- close contacts means hugging and kissing so basically family members or really close friends
* working from home has to be the norm, at least several days a week -- many employers have made it mandatory to return to the office (I have to work from the office a minimum of 2 days a week -- only a very good reason excempts me from this ruling).Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
