Unfortunately, It ends with either a vaccine or we have to develop immunity to it by all of us recovering from it.
Wow. So, if a vaccine is several months away, a very large percentage will get it. Good thing many healthy people will get thru it just fine.
And again, Reveille, thank you and all the experts who contribute to this thread.
Y'all are such a refreshing source of logical explanation -- not sensationalism from so many gov't and "journalists."
Thank you so much.
I have a serious question Hillcountry. What did you think was the endgame of the events of the last two weeks? In other words, what did you think was going on and how did this thread change that viewpoint?
Im sorry if that sounds like a sarcastic question, but I'm being totally serious. I think there is a real lack of understanding on the part of the public as to what exactly is going on, where we are, where we hope to be in two weeks, and what the plan will be moving forward.
Depending on who you are looking to for information, maybe they won't tell you, but we have to get THERE (a vaccine) from HERE (today) as best we can. We are going to have to live with Covid-19 for a year (at least). We are unfortunately going to lose many fellow Americans before we get THERE. The only real question is how many. That's the only real debate at this point.
They failed at containment. Mitigation is our only option now.
Your condescending response is clearly received, H.E. But, maybe I deserved it.
But, I did not know what the endgame was. That's why I asked. As you pointed out, there is a lack of understanding by many, which seems to surprise you. I'm in that group.
I recently discovered not only this thread, but Dr. Coates' FB updates. And he, along with other smart people on this thread have provided great insight. Like everyone, I've watched tv, scoured the internet, and have tried to understand this thing. This thread has been the best source by far. No sensationalism. No responses with a political bent for which I have to try and filter.
And despite your sarcasm, You educated me some more with your explanation. And I sincerely thank you.
I look forward to learning more.
