If a pregnant woman is given a vaccine does the unborn child also gain immunity? |
- If a pregnant woman is given a vaccine does the unborn child also gain immunity?
- If a virus is not alive, where does it come from? Are all viruses ancient? So mutated from their origin point they diverge into different viruses entirely?
- How does “even if this flu shot isn’t an exact match, if you do get the flu it won’t be as bad” work?
- Is the mass use of disinfectant and other preventive cleaning measures in households across the world right now going to cause an increase in disinfectant/drug resistant bacteria and viruses?
- People who contract Covid 19 report losing their sense of taste and smell. Is this temporary while the virus runs its course or permanent?
- I’ve heard over and over again that the next flu pandemic is just around the corner and that we’re not prepared to tackle it. Now there is the coronavirus pandemic thats taken hold, but that is not the flu, so should we still expect the next big flu pandemic to happen in our lifetime?
- Does fire have a weight or a mass?
- How long does Covid 19 survive on money?
- Are there any historical cases of pandemic observed through any species other than humans?
- Did natives or First Nations in North, Central, and South America ever infect Europeans with unknown diseases?
- Do carcinogens increase the risk of cancer permanently, or can the damage be undone by our bodies?
- Why do vaccines wear off over time?
- How many types of antibodies does a typical adult have, and how are they identified? How does a COVID-19 antibody test tell the difference between them and all the other antibodies you have?
- Do plants have an immune system? If not, how do they respond to disease and fight off infections?
- On planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus, is there *some* point where the temperature, gravity, and atmospheric pressure resembles Earth, or at least something humans could tolerate?
- When people say cases of COVID-19 can be asymptomatic does that mean they aren't currently showing symptoms but will? Are showing such mild symptoms that a person would only say they were sick if they were directly asked? Or are they legitimately showing no signs of illness now or ever?
- How is life expectancy calculated for pre industrial Era?
- Could the Influenza virus eventually run out of different combinations to mutate into for humans to eventually become totally immune? Assuming the answer is likely not, why is that the case and what is getting mutated/changed that prevents that possibility?
- Can sensory stimuli, other than visual and auditory signals, be transmitted across a network? What’s stopping us from developing a device that transmits the smell of the dinner I’m making directly to your living room?
- Is it cancer that makes your immune system weak or chemotherapy?
- Can some people be naturally immune to a virus without ever contracting or coming in contact with it before (vaccines included)?

| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 01:39 PM PDT We hear all the time about bacteria becoming drug resistant by over prescribing antibiotics, can the same thing happen with viruses or bacteria and disinfectant? [link] [comments]  |

| How long does Covid 19 survive on money? Posted: 05 Apr 2020 07:14 AM PDT I checked the FAQ section and saw that it survives on copper for a few hours and plastic for a few days, but what about money? Right now I work a job that makes tips and I've been putting my tips in a ziplock bag with Lisol sprayed inside. How long until it is definitely safe for me to use? [link] [comments]  |
| Are there any historical cases of pandemic observed through any species other than humans? Posted: 05 Apr 2020 04:13 AM PDT I know that history has recorded many cases of disease that wiped out much of the human population, but do we have any record of other creatures experiencing such mass deaths due to viruses?

| Posted: 05 Apr 2020 04:48 AM PDT We learn that when Europeans arrived in the new world, they brought with them colds (coronavirus, influenza) that the natives had no immunity to. We were taught that this had a devastating effect on their populations. [link] [comments]  |
| Do carcinogens increase the risk of cancer permanently, or can the damage be undone by our bodies? Posted: 05 Apr 2020 02:10 AM PDT If a person gets exposed to a carcinogen of some sort, it may increase the risk for cancer, because the DNA gets damaged. But overtime, can our bodies repair themselves to the pre-carcinogen stage? Or does everything "stack-up" forever? [link] [comments]  |
| Why do vaccines wear off over time? Posted: 05 Apr 2020 02:00 AM PDT Also, can they be maintained effective without getting another dose? (Not an anti-vaxxer, just interested) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2020 02:55 AM PDT Maybe this would normally fall under "easily Googleable", but right now search results are overloaded with articles containing only very basic info about what antibody testing is. Can anyone offer some insight? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 08:44 PM PDT Most of the "giant" planets have no solid surface, and if you look at the temperature, gravity and pressure, it varies depending on how deep into the atmosphere you are. My question is, is there any point where these three factors are within what a human could tolerate, at least with some training? For instance, submariners can adapt to high pressures near the bottom of the ocean, and even go into the water there in scuba gear, as long as they descend and ascend slowly and follow certain protocols. Does there exist a similar point on any of these giant planets where these parameters could be similar? [link] [comments]  |

| How is life expectancy calculated for pre industrial Era? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 05:22 PM PDT Was life expectancy truly low or is it artificially brought down by high infant mortality. I hear contradicting arguments that modern medicine has truly made the life expectancy much greater, but also that in pre industrial Era that people had a healthy lifestyle and lived much longer.

| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 12:10 PM PDT I know every year the virus mutates and changes parts of itself so that it is, as far our bodies are concerned, a new virus that we need to build a new immune defense for from scratch. Does the virus have a limited variety of mutations that it could change up its structure enough to convince our memory cells that we don't have a previous antibody to use? Could it hypothetically mutate into a form we have become immune to in the past? How do the mutations work in that they are always new and seemingly foreign to our body? The analogy I have in my head is the virus is rolling a die with a ridiculous amount of sides to it, could it roll a number that matches identically or close enough to a previous strain that our immune response is already prepared for its attack?

| Is it cancer that makes your immune system weak or chemotherapy? Posted: 05 Apr 2020 01:35 AM PDT We all know that people who have cancers have more chances to die from the Covid-19 due to weak immune system, but if someone doesn't know if he have cancer and is not doing chimio, is he considered at risk? Or it's the chimio that make our body and immune system weak. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 03:48 PM PDT This might be a silly question that I just havent thought through and googled furiously enough but I read an article recently that said: "Scientists from the Institut Pasteur and the CNRS unraveled the immune responses of 200 African and European individuals. They show that there is indeed a difference in the way these populations respond to infection, that this response is largely controlled by genetics and that natural selection has played an important role in shaping such immune profiles. They also offer proof that the genetic legacy passed on by Neanderthals to Europeans has significantly influenced their ability to respond to viral challenges. This might just mean some are more susceptible to certain viruses than others but I was wondering if it can work to the other extreme, whereby someone's genetics or immune system essentially grants a predisposed immunity to certain viruses? Like in every zombie movie/show these days having that 1 person that just can't get infected for some reason. [link] [comments]  |
