This is where the federal government should develop a policy similar to the recent compassionate use exception for drugs. They should allow people the option of taking the vaccine early before all the testing is complete, depending on the confidence level. The CDC, NIH, and WHO have not distinguished themselves during this fiasco. South Korea developed and deployed testing in time to stop their outbreak. Germany has an antibody test, so does Taiwan. We pay twice as much per capita than any other country on earth and we have this s*** show as a result. I suspect this is because we don't want to copy them, our government and companies suffer from "not invented here" syndrome.
We just can't wait another year for a vaccine. We will destroy our economy and our children's future if we wait that long. I'm 72 years old, and I am in no hurry to die, but death is a part of life. Look at this way, we lost hundreds of thousands of young men in WWII, and most of them were not volunteers. If this is a war there will be casualties. I don't want to be one of those casualties but if it comes as a result of reopening our economy I am willing to take the risk.
take your frustrations to the polls in Nov. in meantime, stay at home, stay safe... amigoThis is where the federal government should develop a policy similar to the recent compassionate use exception for drugs.

Ok so, during my first week of furlough from my job of 18 years. I have worked with my brother fabricating and installing granite/marble/ other rock stuff that I don’t even know the name of. That is some hard and heavy back breaking ish. I also worked with my father in law painting...... A freaking hospital in Memphis. I now understand why almost all painters are freaking alcoholics. Can’t wait to get back to my regular job next, never thought I’d ever say that..
