    Hello Nordberg,

    The first thing that would happen might be first line workers get a vaccine, if and when one is successfully developed and fully tested.

    At-risk people would also be prioritized.

    Lastly, as more doses are manufactured, it would be made available to the general public.

    I do not know the percentage of people who are anti-vax, but wide use of a vaccine is vastly preferable to no vaccine.

    Hopefully, enough people would get it that the virus becomes under control.

    If not, the people who did not get the vaccine would be the most susceptible to the disease, and some of them may die because of it.

    Others could get the disease and develop natural immunity, if that exists. We don't know yet.

    We certainly do live in interesting times.

    But we shut down and the ramifications of that are going to be felt for years—if not longer.
    It's not done.

    The numbers are still rising.

    Don't claim it's only 61 deaths yet.

    Oh wait a minute.

    That moment has already passed for the USA.

    And West Virginia too.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Some of us figured it out earlier.....I have for instance been on the alarms since the early 90's.
    I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.

    there you go with your sad little predictions and assumptions

    i never said you felt threatened

    the problem is your inability to read

    But, hey if your virtue signaling makes you feel good, then so be it. Just don't think science if your friend on this issue. It isn't. Just admit you are virtue signaling and then I won't have to call you out as an ignoramus

    Good morning Darth Omar,

    If something is worth striving for, it is worth making several attempts to achieve.

    The cult has followed DT's false lead and pretended the pandemic is over, to disastrous results.

    This thread has been observing the rise of the pandemic, looking for the peak.

    We were doing well to stem the rise, using all the measures we had at our disposal in this very different kind of war, war with a bug.

    But we couldn't stand it, couldn't wait for those measures to have their fullest effect. We are too married to money, few more so than DT.

    He caved far too soon, and began to pretend that it was all over. And he took the cult, and ultimately the rest of us, with him in that fantasy.

    And now we are paying the price for ignoring reality.

    And we are still hoping and watching for the peak.

    The 'something worth striving for' is a USA with responsible leadership.

    That has become so fundamentally important that we, the people of the United States, are fully ready to elect Joe Biden as our next president, and we are ready to give Democrats another crack at majorities in both Houses of Congress.

    I urge everyone to vote, and vote your conscience. Vote for what is right. Vote for responsibility and honesty. Vote for values that have been lacking ever since November 2016. Now is our chance to right that wrong, to correct a terrible societal mistake.

    Shouldn’t you be cheering the economic loss to millions of Americans and their families caused by the virus from China that China failed to contain?
