I fail to see why anyone has any reason to think we'll never have a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2. The experts seem to have reason to think with high confidence that we will, and relatively soon.

So what's so special about September that all the projections are showing a rise in everything?

A friend of mine just told me his brother, his brothers wife and their young daughter all tested positive. The husband and daughter had the "sniffles" for 3 days and it was gone. The wife was sick for a week with what felt like a "really bad cold" but was fine after a week. The wife got it from a nursing home she worked at so had the higher viral load exposure......but still got off relatively light.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced Friday that the state is putting a seven-day pause on further county reopenings statewide due to a spike in new Covid-19 cases.
"This is essentially a statewide yellow light," Brown said during a news conference. She said that the state was aware there could be a spike in cases as restrictions were lifted. "Unfortunately, we are now seeing that happen in several parts of the state in both rural and urban Oregon," Brown said. |

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert has paused the lifting of restrictions following spikes in Covid-19 cases over the past two weeks.
The governor said during a news conference Thursday that the increase in cases is “giving them pause.” The state will remain in the "yellow" phase of reopening with the exception of one county, Brooke Scheffler, public information officer for Herbert, told CNN in a text Friday. She also confirmed that Salt Lake City will remain in the "orange" phase, which is below yellow. |

An influential model cited by the White House issued the dire prediction, saying the US death toll could reach 169,890 by October 1, with a possible range of about 133,000 to 290,000 deaths.
Daily deaths are expected to decrease through June and July, then remain relatively stable through August before rising sharply in September, the model forecasts. “If the US is unable to check the growth in September, we could be facing worsening trends in October, November and the following months if the pandemic, as we expect, follows pneumonia seasonality,” said Dr. Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Many states have loosened restrictions that began in March to stop the spread of the virus. But with no vaccine, more people congregating in public places and recent protests for racial justice in major cities, one health expert predicted that the nation’s coronavirus death toll will nearly double by September. “I think right now, most Americans are not ready to lock back down, and I completely understand that. … I understand people are willing to live alongside this virus. It means that between 800 and 1,000 Americans are going to die every single day,” Dr. Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, told CNN. |

I would think that schools that currently require certain vaccines would similarly require covid. I wonder if the Feds would consider a vaccination as a prerequisite to being allowed to fly. |

I think it's going to be a couple years before it is "required". I can't blame parents for not forcing their kid to take something that has been around for a couple weeks when as a kid they are not a high risk anyhow.
