Absolutely fucking not. How can you trust anything Team Trump Treason spews forth? He's told over 20,000 lies and/or misleading statements since being inaugurated. I'll wait for Sleepy Woke Joe to make the announcement or the efficacy to be reported by reputable sources.mrussel1 said:

Piggybacking on what oftenreading said, it's highly unlikely that this is how things go down. These vaccines are being developed by private companies and will have to undergo regulatory scrutiny. No one should get a vaccine, take a medication, etc. without knowing how effective or safe it is. That sort of information is available for what's on the market today.mrussel1 said:

But most of those that refuse to get vaccinated will be willing to go to games, concerts, work, etc. So it'll be part "herd immunity" and part vaccine. Certain jobs (medical, of course) will probably have requirements (I assume that's legal and done with measles, etc.). It would be ideal if everyone who can get vaccinated would and hopefully it will be roughly as effective as the vaccinations most of us use today.
I'm not sure that relying on herd immunity is a viable option either at this point, being that studies continue to show that antibody levels decrease rapidly after infection. As a layman, it seems to me that this virus will continue to circulate even after a vaccine is available.
Herd immunity is not a solution from what I can tell and I partly said it tongue-in-cheek. I just hope that the anti-vaxxers don't lead to the rest of us (or people that have legit medical reasons to not be able to take it) being in danger. The anti-vax movement is pretty strong and pre-dates Trump. It's not going anywhere any time soon.

Taiwan also kicked ass, partly due to a "medical card" that allowed near real time access to health care treatment data for their National Health Authority, which allowed them to make fact based decisions on how to respond once it became clear that there might be a pandemic in the making. Something the Clinton Healthcare Plan included when it was introduced in 1993. Imagine that?Bentleyspop said:

I live 10 minutes from the Perdue Chicken plant that's on the 33 in Hanover county. I live in the northern tip of Henrico. I haven't heard of any outbreak up there and Hanover is definitely has a lower ratio than us. But I'm sure plenty of those workers live in Henrico, Goochland, etc. The spike in Hampton Roads makes perfect sense. The beaches are BAU, although I'm sure the bars are closed and restaurants are spaced, but still you have people traveling in from all over the country.what dreams said:mrussel1 said:
