That? It? Based on what would what be easier to prove?

These vaccines that have started or are going into clinical trials are highly likely to vaccinate, so much so that Bill Gates has already set out to manufacture millions of doses of 7 different vaccines that are starting clinical trials.

What is being tested is to confirm they’re effective (maybe even how effective they are) and most of all that they’re safe.
Basicly what am asking is can vaccine immunize better the virus itself ?
All these tests sound focused on the vaccine safety etc.   can’t we first establish that the virus itself causes immunity ?

Terrible censorship but what if the video was about injecting a disinfectant into your body? Where do you draw the line?

Which line? For professionals or laypeople? I don't think there is a "line" in a controlled scientific environment.

That sounds like a line to me. Allow videos of controlled scientific tests.

Should staying in a hotel be avoided now? Would you stay in a hotel in these days in the US?

Why would you stay in a hotel as opposed to staying home?

To be in a hotel room thats smaller than home? If you’ll be doing anything touristy, or even food wise, it sounds like a bad move.

Also, how are you going to get there? How will you disinfect your entire room? Can you really socially distance the entire time, narrow hotel hallways, lobby etc.

So are you saying from now on you need to disinfect your entire hotel room?

The virus will only last a few days in a hotel room, but you don’t know who was there just before you.

Change of scenery perhaps?

You mean for your work in food production? That’s not a leisure trip.

Find a way to create an equivalent state of mind for the same money without leaving the house? The bottom line is that leaving the house for any reason that isn’t essential is a bad idea. If you’re going to go anywhere maybe go camping?

If we all flocked to hotels it would prolong the crisis for everyone and cause unnecessary spread. If you feel your psychological duress is significantly greater than the average person, discuss this with your therapist and primary care physician and maybe they will determine that  it’s the prudent thing to do in your case.

This is assuming ( erroneously, i might add) that this Virus is going to be eradicated and not here to stay.
