Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Given the mistrust engendered and advanced by Trump and co., even IF there's a viable vaccine developed, I doubt it will solve things. The anti-vax / anti science nutjobs make up a significant portion of the population. Further, I suspect others (including me) won't get it, because I don't trust a damn thing with even a whiff of Trump associated with it.
So then honestly whats the plan? Right now the reasoning for everything not opening is we need a vaccine. If we get one and there are a large percentage of the population who won't take it for whatever reason, then is this really worth it? Its either the virus runs its course now, or it runs it later the only thing we are doing is delaying the inevitable.
 
I find it hilarious that Trump supporters think Covid-19 is a ploy to make Trump look bad. This is global! Most of the world doesn't even know, or care who Donald Trump is. The whole rest of the world, aside from Brazil and a few other countries, handled this situation responsibly and now their economies are all open for business while America descends into chaos.

It's as if the powers-that-be knew Trump would screw this up. He could have emerged as a shining hero in this situation, but he's Donald Dumbass Trump, and his narcissism and immature need to be worshiped by his base predictably dominated his brain, and now America is falling to pieces.

Even poor and oppressive countries knew how to make this situation go away as soon as possible. But Trump was, and still is, too shallow and shortsighted to recognize a golden opportunity even when it falls right into his lap. 🙄

Heh. Who knows. I suspect the virus runs its course before we get an effective LT vaccine. I see no pretty solutions to reopening...

We both agree on the bolded part, but I ask again and I know you dont have the answer but what is the point to still having a lockdown at this point. Its going to happen one way or another.
 
Update to my post a few days ago. My daughter did the at home test (kit) and sent it off to the lab as required in order to return to campus in a couple of weeks. In less than 48 hours, she was notified she tested positive. She has been and still is completely asymptomatic. They had inadvertently sent her two test kits. I told her to do it again and send it in to see what happens. In just over 48 hours it came back.....negative. In the meantime, we took her to our doctor and performed the "standard" (?) test and now awaiting those results. We have clearly been exposed to her during this time, although once she got the positive test back she remained quarantined from us to the extent possible. The spousal unit and I are both asymptomatic and going to be tested tomorrow, just in case. The numbers on this whole situation, IMO, are just way off. I don't believe we have had near the number of infections posted to date due to testing variables and irregularities from various facilities/labs.
I liked for the spousal unit. Prayers for you and the fam.

Because posting scientific studies and expert opinions, is some how tantamount to believing that covid 19 is a "democrat hoax to keep Trump from betting re-elected" or that "every health department in the united states is colluding to inflate the covid 19 death toll by listing every death as covid 19"?

You really believe that?

Yes, I think they really do. They also believe if Biden wins that COVID will magically become a non issue

Its not that we think this thing magically goes away or becomes a non issue. Its the media hype around it will most certainly die. The same media hype that has been blowing this thing up since February.

I will agree that the media has been a little overzealous to report the negative news on COVID, but the reality in hospitals is real

Im not saying this thing isn't real. I believe it is, I believe there is something there. I also believe the media has hyped to be more than it really is. It sucks for those affected by it, and for those who lost their loved ones, but doing all this over something that only affects a small percentage of the population is an issue. I also agree with the argument that the lockdown will cause more damage than the virus. From the mental health of people, to relapse, and lack of socialization of kids. Loss of jobs and homes, lack of food for some, lack of exercise. Was it really worth it?

Mistrust advanced by Trump and co ? LOL. He has been attacked nonstop by a power hungry Democratic Party because he upset their darling candidate Hillary in the election. I would trust Trump more than any person or group on the other side of the aisle. You know, the party that wants to make us a socialist state, defund the police and is Ok with anarchy in the streets of every major city. A group who still wants us to completely shut down again for the sole purpose of defeating Trump in 2020. Do you believe they have your best interests in mind? No thanks, I’ll pass.
