Does anyone have a curve graph of the original projectors from late March to actual data?

Why will this fall be worse?

I agree

Nursing homes, prisons & hospitals need to continue to limit visitors & have strict procedures in place for keeping staff healthy

Everyone else needs to open up

A lot of the stuff we're doing and are discussed as needed go against knowledge and recommendations that both the WHO and CDC already have in documents, as recently as 2019.

Granted, those documents are for influenza pandemics, but I believe that applies here.

Because we didn’t stay home long enough to starve out the virus, generate herd immunity, and allow researchers the 2 years needed to generate a vaccine

If the researchers generate a successful vaccine for a human coronavirus, it will be the first one ever.

Man, I'm happy we're putting all of our eggs in that one basket to live life once again.

I just don't want stupid decisions putting us right back where we started, which is what a full open would do. Carry on freedom fighters.

You wanted to both starve it out and generate herd immunity and create a vaccine? Why even need the vaccine if you did either of first two. If you did first one why need last two.

You guys are confusing as hell.

Based on your logic, we can't fully open until the virus is completely eradicated, which could be a decade or more. There's no guarantee a vaccine will ever happen, and if it does, that it will be 100% effective and everyone will take it.

I'll repeat what the good doctor from Stanford said:

quote:

By transmitting the virus to others in the low-risk group who then generate antibodies, they block the network of pathways toward the most vulnerable people, ultimately ending the threat. Extending whole-population isolation would directly prevent that widespread immunity from developing.

I will go on the record to state it will never be eradicated unless it mutates to another form and leaves old one behind.

I was hoping the poster I made that reply to would give a legit answer, but I suppose they aren't around at the moment.



As for contact tracing, that's something that the WHO does not recommend in instances of flu pandemics.
