    No doubt somewhere along the road there'll be a corona virus jab.
    The flu jab is only 60-70% effective against a flu virus. There are millions of strains of influenza going around the world at any time.

    Most vaccines just isolate one part of a virus and attack that.

    As far as I am aware, it is near on impossible to vaccinate against a virus. The best way is just to let it take it's course.

    Not only is this last statement poppycock, it is dangerous and misleading. The only fact is that a vaccine is not 100% effective against a virus.
    And why do we wash our hands? Because they are likely to the repositories of anything being issued from our lungs / mouths.
