If we get high numbers, there is no way we should open up strip clubs, and unfortunately we might have to close schools too.

    If we do reach herd immunity, or do wipe out the disease through clustering vaccinations and/or quarantining around breakouts, then happy days, throw away the masks, hug and kiss your neighbor.

    On the other hand, the South African variant is somewhat vaccine resistant, and the English variant has higher transmission numbers. If these start hitting America hard, and killing rising numbers, then lockdowns will not be perfect, but they will be something. Even if they do not hit America, and vaccines work somewhat, some social distancing and masks could be just the thing to lower the R number under 1.
    So basically you're saying keep doing what we've been doing even though it doesn't work and has fucked people over? Ok got it.

    Walt's a Doctor and has a Master's in Biological Engineering, ya know...
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    You aren't even talking about the same kind of virus here!
    my point, which you seem unable to grasp, is that those diseases as well as diptheria, whooping cough, tentanus, scarlet fever, swine flu, and many others have been erradicated by vaccines and sanitation. Covid will follow that same path, and in fact is already doing that. And the "experts" still cannot definitely tell us how it spreads. First it was contact on surfaces, then personal contact, then air borne. so we really don't know. What we do know is that the infection rate is drastically falling and that 99.7% of people who contract it survive.

    Walt thinks he is.
    No, it's Biden's ball now. Trump gave him the tools to fix it, let's see if he knows how to use them.

    He probably thinks he's admiral of the royal navy too.

    Oh yes the death toll under imbecile joe is rising. He doesn't know what day it is let alone be able to use what was given to him.
