A parallel wording would be 3 out of 4 adults world wide would get the vaccine, while only 2 out of 3 American adults would. I think it makes the comparison a little clearer. Looking at it another way, 9 out of 12 worldwide, and 8 out of 12 Americans would get the vaccine. So the difference is not as great as it first appears.
This is an excellent article, and actually quite easy to read. I certainly see some good news that there are plenty of existing drugs available that can address excess of the inflammatory molecule bradykinin.
However, I am interested in better understanding what they are discussing about the different pathologies of the Bradykinin vs. cytokines storm.
It does appear to be a significant shift in theories. And I wonder if that will also affect the development of the most appropriate vaccines in the future??????
Since most of the attention was focused on the RAS system and its interaction with modulating the vascular system and inflammation, the other major role of ACE and ACE2 for the regulation of the kinin-kallikrein system was lacking attention.

This, another ---big fat rabbit hole/still over my head---article does start to address caution with vaccines in monkeys infected with SARS.

It's how the articles are worded but yes you are right two thirds of American and three quarters worldwide would get the vaccine. Not a great deal of difference between 66% and 75%.A parallel wording would be 3 out of 4 adults world wide would get the vaccine, while only 2 out of 3 American adults would.

True. Hard to get that bonding off eBay or Amazon. Not to mention that retail therapy is really a thing- even with no purchase. Along the same vein, I already miss the samples at Costco & Sam’s Club. And restaurants that have closed. We are going to have to reinvent how we bond, entertain, recreate, etc. in a post-covid world. I think some things are never coming back.

Another store bites the dust: Lord and Taylor-- always liked Lord and Taylor--- just sad to see these stores go away. (which were more than for just shopping- mom and daughters and friends bonding)---- sad.

OT but...Why ?
Our famous store Marks and Spencer is sometimes referred to as Marks and Sparks.
So they've played on that it seems

In Arizona, Florida and Texas, after steep climbs, much stricter policies are now bringing an end to their first (large) waves. These three states did have high peaks though (per capita). It would appear that when CoVid gets bad enough and is really out of control, people do change their minds about mask wearing and social distancing (well, the large majority of them do).
Coronavirus in the U.S.: Latest Map and Case Count
Thank you for sharing this moving account from your friend. She described this difficult situation very well. I went through it with both parents. My mother died first, and my father was able to help make decisions. But I was on my own (no siblings) to make decisions when my father died. Both spent their last weeks receiving hospice care at home.
I can't help feeling that I let both of them down somehow at the end of their long lives (92 and 97). It's hard to explain.
I am not sure if I believe that. Surely all countries would have set these things up.Australians will be among the first in the world to get the coronavirus vaccine under a $1.7 billion agreement between the Australian Government and I pharmaceutical companies.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison today announced vaccines would be made available throughout next year if trials are successful.
Mr Morrison said the vaccines would first need to be proven safe and effective, and meet all necessary regulatory requirements.
