We're probably ~6 or 7 months away from a proven vaccine and another 3 months before production means widescale distribution is possible. The problem is this is going to be smack dab in the middle of the second wave if we're really unlucky.
Checks notes.
They will cry over election returns and point fingers.
DeSantis has done a pretty shitty job overall responding to this but at least he isn't the governor of Georgia!
All of this is much, much, much more complicated than it seems.
Don't count on "herd immunity" to this virus. And don't listen to this boomer who wants to send kids to the front line to acquire this elusive "herd immunity:"

Get this ... his solution is to open schools to infect children, and those with parents over 45 would get some kind of magic pass, to keep their kids at home.
Just give it a little time. There is always a "workaround." Here is a suggestion, put people like him on the front lines. Anybody enthusiastic about building potential herd immunity can volunteer as a candystriper in a local ICU.
The world would be a better place if medical researchers refrained from making business projections, and business people refrained from volunteering youth (and school staff) to get infected with a potentially lethal virus.
Sorry, just bitter. Some of us actually have faced a lifetime of disability, already, due to the actions of boomers who preceded us. When I had my kids I made a promise to myself and them that they would be spared such a fate, and then it is like what the fuck? This shit again?
There is always a workaround. More PPE, a more efficient means of testing, and a better understanding of this virus will open things up. Sorry this guy is losing his shirt, but human lives are more important than his stock portfolio, especially when it comes time to children and young adults who have their whole lives ahead of them.
Part of the other reason for the Hydro controversy is that the original French study was flawed to fucking hell and back. From what I've been hearing the actual success rate of it with zinc is around 60 to 70%, which is a damn good thing, but there's the question of if it's a placebo or not, and other health concerns. That's the reason for the health trials - also that if we're handing this out like candy there's a chance Corona will mutate a resistance to it and we're up shit creek then.
Yes. After he spent the first few weeks saying shutdowns were up to the states too, the fact he changed his mind and went full "I AM THE AUTHORITY" is a bit bizzare.
What about the guy who is currently president? All it took was some chink lab to release airborne aids for it all to come undone.
Propofol is used to help put people under before surgery, and as an anasthetic during inubation. Shortage due to the ventilators?
