And that is a very real possibility.
People seem to overlook the fact that there has never been a viable/scalable vaccine for any type of human coronavirus since this family of virus was discovered in humans 60 years ago. SARS, MERS, even the common cold... no FDA approved vaccine in 60 years. |

Health care workers taking a beating here. My buddy’s wife is a nurse and she comes home from a 14 hour shift and her hair is falling out from the stress. I wear that mask for 15 minutes to go shopping and I can’t ****ing breathe. Can you imagine working all day with that thing on?

Ah, I gotcha. I do wonder how many people are paying close enough attention to this to truly understand the exponential spread involved with it.

There may not be a scalable/effective vaccine for several years or ever. Herd immunity is a more realistic strategy. |

My could have died from RSV as a newborn ( severe apnea spells), he is lucky that he only developed mild exercises induced asthma, is it possible he would have developed it anyways who knows but we made damn sure nobody and near our second son for months after his birth.

We all know this is going to pass through just about everyone, eventually. People will die, and it sucks, but we can't hide from this forever.
By isolating ourselves we've given the hospitals a chance to take in the people that need care at a somewhat controlled rate. By some miracle a vaccine will be developed (not holding my breath) that will protect everyone. It is possible.......sit down for this........that both sides of the argument are correct. Distancing and herd mentality work. |
