Re: COVID-19/new coronavirus thread
Ah yes, the magical vaccine that's going to make everything all better in the flip of of a switch. This will not be the answer to everyone's prayers, and we'll still be very much in this same position a year from now. The vaccines will be delayed, and fought over about their availability and their effectiveness. Some will say it's rushed and unsafe, some will say it's unnecessary, some will say it's full of Bill Gates microchips, and many will not get the vaccine. This thing has too much momentum to just stop on a dime, even with a so-so vaccine. And until CASES are at or near zero, for a consistent period of time, people are going to be afraid and restrictions will remain.
You probably all think I'm nuts right now, but you probably won't next year. I can assure you I'm actually a pretty sane person, with normal opinions about things. I'm not a conspiracy theorist or a DOOMER, or some kind of Trump loving covid hoax believer. But this is really the only way I can see this going down. 2021 is going to be confusing.
Or maybe I'll be wrong, and we'll all be singing DMB at our favorite venues next summer. That'd be preferable, but I wouldn't bet on it happening.
