But even with dirty water it is possible to build low(ish) budget, long lasting filters from widely available components. I plan on giving this a try at some point, supposedly these can run for years with no power requirements too and no need for hard to source filters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMoT4ssiYtY&pp=ygUZcGVybWFjdWx0dXJlIHdhdGVyIGZpbHRlcg%3D%3D
I don't think that is necessary. Lots of people collect rainwater for drinking from their rooftops. I know that it is important to have a first flush part to ensure any debris from the gutters is first washed off before your collection tanks are filled. I think the design of the tank can naturally lead to keeping the water potable maybe by ensuring conditions are not conducive to algae growing etc.
Interesting. How would you target proteins with a conventional vaccine? Or when you say conventionally effective vaccine, do you only mean in that it stops transmission and infection?
Also, if the creation of a vaccine targeting 6-8 proteins is 6-8 times harder, than by definition the solution is not easy.
If you are suggesting that an alternative, more broad acting, yet still mrna based intervention would be able to eliminate covid; then even if that is possible, it would fail miserably on a cost/benefit calculation.
Conventional type of vaccines rely on either attenuated or dead virus, no? So with those examples, the external shape of the virus is what is supposed to inform the immune system; if I remember correctly. And I am of the understanding that these family of viruses have a good ability to change or adapt, so that any vaccine (presumably of any type) would merely trigger adaptation, especially in pandemic/endemic conditions due to high viral populations and therefore increased likelihood of advantageous mutation emerging.
In any case, you're right, it is definitely not worth it considering the current variants and the presence of other effective treatments.
I heard that there is as much chance of that happening as there is for finding one against the common cold (very little).
Mute, and then stare at the little countdown clock through squinty eyes.
