    And we wont “know” for a very long time. If the virus returns after lying dormant for 5 years its not a “cure” just a highly effective therapy.

      It’s a thing I forget a lot.

      Kinda like when CFLs first dropped and a lot of them were like “this light bulb will last over 80 years!”, when in reality they lasted 2 years.

      In reality, at that point, their prototype had been made a year and a half ago and had far outlived the standard incandescent bulb, so they put an assininely huge number on the packaging.

      6 months later, the prototype burned out.

        unrelated to the original topic but man, i fucking love LEDs.

        they just politely sip electricity and have a huge lifespan, then when they do kick the bucket it’s not unlikely you can fix them by swapping a capacitor or something.
