[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6190156, member: 8835"] Quite possibly, not happy. though they've got a vaccine in the works, I've heard in the news (as in getting tested right now). A related tale from a friend who used to work for a medical testing lab of national size was that there was this new colon cancer test that just needed a poop sample they were training for (training on how to run the actual test on the material, not the collection). The test was going to be $30. So it was very reliable, low cost, and less intrusive (just poop into the cup, sir). However, the project stopped because hospitals refused to adopt it, because they'd spent millions of dollars on colonoscopy machines that they were still making payments on. The story is reasonably true (my friend really did train to perform the test, and that is the background he heard on it at his job to run tests). What that means is that there is likely a plethora of medical treatments, tests, cures, etc that don't make it to the public, because there's money to be made with the current stuff. [/QUOTE]
