No vaccine has ever been developed for any coronavirus, despite the fact that coronaviruses cause the common cold. No cure has been developed for the common cold. Many palliatives exist, like zinc supplementation, but no cure, and no vaccine.
Normal vaccines take many years to develop and test for safety. 5 years would be on the low side.
This means that there is ZERO, ZERO, ZERO reason to think a safe vaccine CAN be made available in the next several years.
This means that to return to life as normal, where we are not all traumatized daily by the loss of most social contacts, the inability to play sports, to watch sports, to go to movies, to relax without worrying some fucking asshole is going to yell at us about some stupid shit, we need to move to Herd Immunity as fast as possible.
Dr. I am a fucking douchebag Fauci–who needs to be fired, since he is no friend of America–says we can’t get to Herd Immunity. Why the fuck not? That is how EVERY EPIDEMIC IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND HAS ENDED.
The thing has between a .02 and .4% death rate, across all ages, and much, much much less than that for healthy people under 55.
My take: all people under 55 should be encouraged to socialize without masks for the next two months. Sporting events, movies, bar hopping, etc. COVID-19 cases will spike a LOT. But death rates will not, or not by much. Most of the most vulnerable among us have already been killed.
Everyone over 55 needs to stay home just a while longer. They are in any event older, less active, and less in need of work. And if we need special payments to take care of them, I support that.
Roll around July and August, by September both infection rates and death rates will plummet, and we can go on with life as normal.
What is OBVIOUS is that the Left does not want this. They hate all of us. They hate themselves.
But they don’t have to win this fight.
So my final take is that for the under 55 mask wearing means you hate America and want this pandemic to last as long as possible. That is only mild hyperbole, as I see it.
