So, this is it - Italian government' plan is to wait for vaccine? I wonder if we already have any vaccine for viruses in this family?

I don't see the actual plan. Governments are trying to slow-down the spreading to ensure the medical system will not become overwhelmed. But my guestimation numbers say it can cannot be the way.... take for example Italy. It seems that Italy cannot handle more than 5000 new cases per day. More than this overwhelms hospitals. There are 60 million people in Italy.... If government enforces severe restrictions to keep new cases under 5000, it will take 4000 days (11 years) until 1/3 of population obtains the immunity. But Italy cannot stand 11 years of quarantine. So what is the actual plan? a) To increase the capacity of hospitals so that the daily limit of new cases can be increased to 50000? Yes, it can be done in less than 11 years, but quite difficult now, under 'fire'. b) To wait and hope for a vaccine or a cure? Can this be called a plan at all?

I didn't know that it works for viruses too. Anyone knows the mechanism? (Then again, I know that silver kills werewolves.)

Does it mean that Spanish flu mortality would be much lower if better symptomatic treatment was available?

He he... funny: I just replaced the old light bulb in my room with a much more advanc€d one. Government orders... The funny moment is that I am heating my room with an electric heater ... It also ruined my budget, so this year I am not buying this nice rosa-color self-adhesive tape to insulate my room window better ... Greetings from EU. Edit: Oh, my goodness! I just realized this is not a joke! Very sorry indeed... Can you moderators dump this post in the sandbox, please? Thank you. Can you also dump the Directive? Thanks again.
