As far as a vaccine i think they'll be able to create one. I haven't read anything that says they won't be able to. |

This is correct, as it always is no matter the topic. Many want to lay the blame at the feet of the current administration and because of that the handling of the situation is considered to be botched from the beginning for many. |

I'm not disputing anything. Covid patients on ventilators require much more resources. Are you disputing that? Why wouldn't hospitals get paid more for treating a highly contagious pandemic patient?

Beyond that, we clearly underestimated this thing and downplayed it in the beginning, though most other countries did as well. |

Hospitals get more Govt money if they classify patients as having C19. As somone already pointed out, hospital's now losing their ass are going to classify as many deaths as C19 as possible.

I left my author page up there but about a year ago I just posted the link to my web site and told people all my writing discussions would be over at my site.
I still have my personal page, but after about a 30-sec. perusal, I'm out of there. Can't stand the political takes on EVERYTHING from either side. If it wasn't for the fact it's the best way to contact two of the publishers I work for, I'd completely dump it, but I've learned just to check their FB pages and not go to the personal one more than I absolutely have to. *sigh* Quote:

There's no proof of that at all though. That part is all conjecture. I think that theory might underestimate what is required for designating cause of death and how it works.

I don't know anything about vaccines and their development. I'm just going off what I read when this all started that a vaccine should be available within 12-18 months. I haven't read anything contrary to that since but based on your posts and it sounds like it's a possibility one doesn't come out. Lets hope that's not what happens cause that would suck. |

I am not answering him but should they? Yes. Does that mean they should force a diagnosis just to get paid? No. Are they doing that? I am pretty sure, why wouldn't they?

There has never been a vaccine made for any corona family virus ever. Not sure why people think we will suddenly make one now. Will there be an "immunity" flu shot in the future? Maybe or maybe not but even those are 30%-40% effective. I think more important right now is finding the most effective treatment modalities.

Actually there is proof of it. Once certain emergency protocols are in place that happens. It is not conjecture at all. I can't tell you all the specific details but generally speaking this is accurate.
