amen tbqhWith 3rd world leadership. That's our problem. Just imagine the healthcare infrastructure (and general infrastructure overall) we could have if we focused our energy on that instead of fighting goat herders for 20 years and building trillions worth of planes, subs, carriers, tanks, bases, etc, etc? It would put everyone else to shame. South Korea, Germany, etc healthcare would look like a cute toy next to it. And Dems are guilty just the same of this "3rd World Leadership." No politician in my lifetime ever had the guts or integrity to cut defense spending and spend it on healthcare and education. Eisenhower issued that warning 60 years ago, and it has come true.
vaccine in 18 m is a best case scenario almost to the fantasy level
many troubles can coke up and most likely will in vaccine that would push it months and months away
good thing is we have dozen countries working on vaccine so most likely sooner or later we will achieve it. but realistically it wilk be 2+ years from now
A vaccine might never be developed successfully. Deal with it. Liberate now. We can’t afford to wait for a vaccine that is years away and might never come at all.

completely irrelevant to the virus and public health
the SCIENCE has to be the ultimate authority -
but the right wing billionaires need to keep poor people down - so they brainwash the idiots to believe its about country/rights/politics -
and the stupid brainwashed poor and working class - just go right on out and risk/ruin their lives to keep the billionaires who are screwing them -
happy
trump works for the billionaires - ONLY - and he enriches himself and his billionaire bosses/friends/putin (whom he owes billions to )
and his poor brainwashed cult refuses to defend themselves - they just continue to faithfully place their heads on the billionaires/rt wing pundits - guillotine.
Much easier problem to solve than reagents which are almost entirely out of US control. Tracers can be hired and trained. Money will eventually come after unfortunate congressional and executive push back and delay.swabs are not the only problem
armies of disease tracers will be needed and nobody knows where the $ for these guys will come from and how to even start to hire/train these nigas

Exhibit A ^
Yes - you are right - you are young and healthy and there is ZERO chance you will become infected -
please go out there and be courageous - the SCIENCE - be damned!
Bet you Oxford beats that timeline.
Calling it.
Some evidence suggests longer term effects of even those with mild disease won’t be ideal.

Virus misinformation flourishes in online protest groups
Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of posts fly in the new Facebook groups daily.
The coronavirus numbers are fake, some of the social media videos claim.
“Social distancing is the new way to control you, your family and your behavior,” another commenter warns.
Others say the pandemic is an overblown hoax.
network of Facebook groups spurring protests of stay-at-home orders across the country have fast become a hotbed of misinformation, conspiracy theories and skepticism around the coronavirus pandemic.
Launched in recent weeks by pro-gun advocacy groups and conservative activists,
fueled by notions floated by television personalities or President Donald Trump himself and amplified by social media accounts.
There’s little basis in reality for many of the claims on the sites.
becoming increasingly partisan online,
with prominent conservatives urging their followers to protest Democratic governors,
despite stay-at-home orders coming down in nearly every state, including some led by Republican governors.

No. They too have been compromised. FOX scientists bad. CNN scientists shaved pussy.
Scientists and SCIENCE has been politicized and thus now is compromised. They did it to themselves. Their regrets are their own. I've no sympathy for them.
That means early August.
We are all getting this at some point. Best do it now and get dat dur herd immunity son. Don’t be scared
Oh well
Yet another reason not to abandon mitigation hastily, many survivors of COVID-19 end up with life-changing (and socially costly) disabilities.

Where are you right now?
Whataburger drive thru
Not protesting in a group of hundreds?
Absolutely.
Or have everyone on the face of the Earth French kiss each other best case?
You are the only person I've heard suggesting this.
You haven't heard anyone suggesting we stay in lockdown until there is a vaccine?
"Young people should go back to working now to protect our businesses and retirement accounts."
Signed, Boomers.
Nope.
The common sense seems to be, following the lead of other countries, that when the caseload goes down for two weeks or so, it's reasonably safe to start normalizing, provided there's robust testing and social tracing to contain subsequent outbreaks.
Mitigation needs to be pursued until containment becomes technically doable. For the US that's probably a matter of a few months, not two years. There will be backsliding, CDC has already warned of a second, more destructive wave in the fall.

SnakeBoy:
Here's an interesting thread on how social distancing policy was developed in the US. GWB got the ball rolling.
Social distancing, yes. Lockdown, no.
