Not to leave you in suspense, Afro:

^{Matthew, Chapter 11 (KJV)
5} Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
⁶ And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
⁷ Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Trump is going to try to withdraw US funds for WHO

The common cold is caused by a large range of virus types, so you can get it from one and get it from another the next week.  You might have immunity for a while against the one and none against the rest of them.

Because it mutates rapidly, there is a plethora of types out there different enough not to be recognized.

Inluenza apparently is similar, but each year certain basic strains emerge (in China) and the vaccine is adapted to the major strains isolated from those cultures.  

I can recall several times getting a cold and starting to get well and then getting another cold.  Usually this doesn't happen because with a cold we're less mobile.  I would "dope up" on Vick's and go to work with a cold in general and just stay away from people.  (Sometimes I'd stay away without a cold.)

NPR had a nice piece on influenza virus years ago with the lady at the CDC who headed the team that concocted it each year.  They push the vaccine out widely to develop a level of herd immunity for society.

Publix here gives you a $10 gift card if you get a free flu shot from them.  I'm down with that.

He merely notes that the Bible indicates it is wrong to tempt God.  It's part of the canon in effect.  If one if a Christian, it applies, unless you have an alternate Bible.  If you are not a Christian, it only applies when discussing the beliefs of Christianity.

I think it legitimate to use the religious text to validate what a belief is about that specific religion for adherents.

If we discussed what other religions believe, we'd resort to their texts and what their religious leaders have to say about it.  I don't know how else one could do it.

This thread has meandered about quite a bit.

I was looking at the projected death toll for Spain, Italy, France, and the UK.  For a population of 230 million, it's 120,000 projected first cycle.

The US with a population of 330 million, it's currently 60,000.  So, it could be worse here than it apparently will be.  The projected number have continued to drop.  I gather R naught is not as high as they expected (guessed?). 

Yesterday's figure in the US showed a spike incidentally, so we're not out of the woods yet.

Yeah, the projections have been being lowered of late as we get more data.  So, good news, maybe the distancing is more effective than expected, maybe R naught is lower than expected, maybe some of us have some immunity.
