But certainly a tremendous amount of resources are being thrown at this. If an effective vaccine is possible with our current level of technology, we are likely to find it. But an effective vaccine that you can get to billions of people, I'll take the over on the time estimates. |

I am surrounded by counties that have the same infection rate as New York.
Almost 3 people per 100. That didn't take long. Yikes. |

As someone who works in the health care industry I can say there is no way you’re getting most health care workers to agree to take a vaccine that was made that fast.

First off, I'm gonna need someone to explain the nuances between mentioning politics and openly grousing about culture of sacrifice, . . . somewhere, somehow. But 'one month in jail' is a definitive bargaining position, based on a hypothetical. An overwhelming majority of the non-sacrificing, non-greater-good populace would trade a definite penalty for a definite solution. OK, on month in jail . . . in a heartbeat? How about a month without food? 3 months in jail without food and rainwater only? Stay in jail until everyone outside agrees you can go free? I'm not trying to be mean or judgmental, but I'm also trying to put a broader perspective about the actual dynamics of the situation. People aren't itching to get out because they're bored, they're not getting promising data on resolution while the data on consequences of their sacrifice piles up. It's not about wanting an ice cream cone on the first week in May, it's starting to bristle that things could stretch on for months with nothing more for guidance than 'stay inside until we say otherwise.' And before people slam me for HOLDING these positions, I'm merely trying to empathize with and give voice to them, instead of less reasoned or charitable interpretations. |

And yes it is frustrating not to have any answers but that is because this is a highly contagious and deadly novel virus that we are slowly trying to figure it out. |

Think of that experiment with kids and Oreos, or was it m&ms? . . . think it was marshmallows... Where you made a bargain where they could eat one now, or two in 5 minutes. Even then there was a psychological differentiation regarding deferred gratification. Now make it a starving kid, and say they can have one marshmallow now, . . . or maybe someday later in the week, someone might drop by with two, . . we hope. . . The differentiation would be off the charts. |
