I am estimating my statements time frame and paraphrasing as well. Bucky this is where you snarkily contradict me, I call you out, and you never respond.
I make no points other than these. This isn't close to over. Understand what the whole world is up against. Take the politics out of this. Disease and death know no politics. Be prepared for you and your families.
Right now the majority of the deaths have been to those severely ill. The longer this goes the lower the death rate will be, maybe. My main worry is the autoimmune aspect of this. What long term damage is that causing? No one knows. How many more will become severely ill due to autoimmune issues? No one knows.
Finally, this is a trial run that the world has failed miserably at. If this was as deadly as the black plague. 50% of us would be dead at a minimum. Probably far more with a globalised world.
I don't recall exactly what snarkily contradiction I made. I'm sure there are many and I can't be held liable to catalog them.
If it was that I believed there would be a vaccine breakthrough soon, than that was purely a sarcastic comment. I never have or don't think there ever will be a cure for this thing. We don't even have a cure for something as "simple" as the common cold or the typical flu. This thing is here to stay. We might come up with something like we do for the flu to protect against it but never a cure to eradicate it off the face of the earth (or the spherical surface of the earth for you ball earthers)
