Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel: U.S. Must Stay Locked Down For 18 Months Until There's a Vaccine

Realistically, COVID-19 will be here for the next 18 months or more. We will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine or effective medications. I know that's dreadful news to hear. How are people supposed to find work if this goes on in some form for a year and a half? Is all that economic pain worth trying to stop COVID-19? The truth is we have no choice.
If we prematurely end that physical distancing and the other measures keeping it at bay, deaths could skyrocket into the hundreds of thousands if not a million. We cannot return to normal until there's a vaccine. Conferences, concerts, sporting events, religious services, dinner in a restaurant, none of that will resume until we find a vaccine, a treatment, or a cure.
One thing I've learned as a cancer doctor is that it's wrong to paint an overly rosy picture in order to maintain a patient's hope. It's wrong because it fails. It's false. Biology and disease are formidable opponents that inevitably tell us the truth. We cannot relieve the oppression of this pandemic until we are realistic. We need to prepare ourselves for this to last 18 months or so and for the toll that it will take. We need to develop a long-term solution based on those facts. It has to account for what we are losing while this fight goes on, things like schooling and income and contact with our friends and extended family.

Why do we keep listening to unamericans that call themselves “doctors”? Aren’t there any white guy doctors anymore?

This is Joe Biden's coronavirus advisor - he needs to be asked if he agrees with shutting down america for 18 months. he won't be but he needs to be.

Would love to have this guy as my cancer doctor:
'You're prolly toast, because cancer. I mean, we'll give you some medicine and stuff but really, I suggest you be like - oh well, I'm fricked. I mean I guess something good might come along but, who we kidding? Cancer, it sucks major league, right? I know I wouldn't want it. Well, see you tomorrow, if you're still here...'
