Is there any research or early guestimates about risks (or benefits) of getting multiple different vaccines for Covid? E.g. What if one gets this, and then later moderna vaccine? Will they fight each other, or work together or is it unknown

Because no one knows what potential problems people may face in 1, 2,5,10,15,20, to years after being sick with Covid. Think of elevated risk of cancers, stokes, and other maladies. From Mayo clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org&#x

For meta data, exiftool is handy for removing metadata[0]. $ exiftool -all= foo.jpg And even better, save image first as .bmp or other format that doesn’t support metadata. Then reload and convert to jpeg, and run the exiftool on this image

It occurred to me that this is maybe just marginally more unreadable than a Hello world for Android or iOS or other desktops after all the boilerplate code and resources has been added. And it still is easier to compile.

There is some research [0] that immunity to SARS ”v1.0” lasts around 1-3 years for those who had it. It would seem reasonable that Immunity against Covid19 lasts about the same period of time. We are now at about 6 months into people being

And most importantly (to me), does Adobe Lightroom, Premiere and Photoshop run under this? Frankly, those are about the last pieces of desktop software that prevent me to switch to Linux.

I think one great way to do this is to get a Commodore 64 emulator (or Atari 2600 etc) and start writing and learning 6502 assy. Arguably its one of the last instruction sets that was designed with humans writing code in assembly (and not i

If you get sick with 2019-nCoV, and recover, do we know if You have developed immunity against it at that point?

Some other unanswered questions: - recovery time? E.g. How long for the virus to run its course for those that recover. - total number of recovered people - why no babies / kids appear to show up on fatality statistics at least? - how
