Should the world not be discussing our killing it?
This is no movie, this is a pandemic in its infancy.... it is like a seedling compared to the giant red oak it will turn into still.
The USA will increase in numbers every day uintil at least middle of May and the longer you take to do a proper lockdown, the longer the rest of us are going to be under house arrest.

I got that part. Have damn bleach laden foot baths at my doors. Just not sure why all the hype on how it kills. It would be time better spent explaining your point and how to eradicate it.

I think he tried to explain how it would kill you with no ventilator, and that even with a ventilator, your chance is maybe 50% once it gets to that point.
I see how it is easy to get confused in all the data. The focus is on staying home, staying safe, at almost all costs.

But the this is no movie part is, literally that. It takes 8 to 15 years to make a vaccine for a new disease.... this is a NEW DISEASE. There are no magic bullets, even if you are fit and healthy, it can put a seriuous hurt or worse on you.

this talk of 18 to 24 months is highly unlikely in my opinion even with all the money about to be dumped in this, it will take considerably longer than this wihtout massive luck.

Call me a pessimist. We've had a flu vaccine for how long? Low 40% effective rate was just touted by CDC. Best ever. There is no cure. Just an adapted immune system with lower reactionary measures.
