yeah, we would have been out of this a lot faster had we just lived as normal, mrussel1. come on. 

Well it's kinda true isn't it?  More people would have died right but herd immunity would have been reached.  Isn't that what the 1918 pandemic charts showed of the different cities?

Not saying it was the right choice, cause I don;t think it would have been, but I'll go look for those charts

Hard to say, really, that we now know people can be reinfected. the vaccine at least provides some security from nasty sickness and death. but yeah, sure, i suppose technically it would have been faster to just do nothing. 

guess i'll have to watch the wording of my sarcasm next time. lol

Your sarcasm was perfectly clear.

“No I think so, I think you’re going to probably see that as we go along and as more people get vaccinated,” Fauci told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “The CDC will be, almost in real-time George, updating their recommendations and their guidelines. We do need to start being more liberal as we get more people vaccinated.”

“As you get more people vaccinated, the number of cases per day will absolutely go down. We’re averaging about 43,000 a day, we’ve got to get it much, much lower than that. When that gets lower, the risk of any infection indoor or outdoor diminishes dramatically,” Fauci added. 

Fauci’s comments come after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shifted its guidance last month to allow fully vaccinated individuals to go maskless outdoors, aside from in crowded settings. However, the agency still recommends that fully vaccinated individuals should wear masks indoors around unvaccinated people from multiple households and in indoor public spaces such as movie theaters, malls, museums and restaurants.

“We’re at the point right now where we can start lifting these ordinances and allowing people to resume normal activity, certainly outdoors we shouldn’t be putting limits on gatherings anymore, we should be encouraging people to go outside,” Gottlieb said Sunday on CBS’ Face the Nation. “In the states where prevalence is low, vaccination rates are high and we have good testing in place and we’re identifying infections, I think we can start lifting these restrictions indoors as well on a broad basis.”

Interesting article by Nicholas Wade, a Nobel Prize winning science writer who wrote for the science section of the New York Times for many years, on the theory of the virus originating from the lab in Wuhan….
