Just a quick update:
My nieces test came back negative, However 10 other employees came back positive.

The guy that I work with daughter has now tested negative and his whole family tested again and are negative.

Do you know how many out of the 10 are showing none or mild symptoms?

F it. Let’s all stay home and wear masks for 30 days. I wonder what the next thing would be after that because the virus would still be around.

Does anyone on here even disagree that the virus will have to run its course? I assume not. We can’t stop it. So why not get this over with if it has to happen at some point?

You are correct. And in four weeks you will see a similar spike in cases in NY. The fear porn needs to stop. And we should demand better of news networks. Turn off Fox, CNN, and MSNBC. They are doing this bc people’s eyeballs are tuning in.

In an effort to cut through some of the hyperbole and get a realistic sense of when a vaccine will be widely available, USA TODAY created a panel of nationally known experts in medicine, virology, immunology, logistics and supply chain issues to estimate how far we are from a coronavirus vaccine. Every month, these experts will track progress and highlight inevitable setbacks.

If you think of it as a clock ticking from midnight (when the pandemic began) to noon (when vaccines will be widely available in the USA and life returns to something approaching normal), then as of June, the panel said it’s about 4 a.m.

“The sun has not yet peeked over the horizon, but the horizon glows in the East. We are no longer in darkness,” said Dr. Kelly Moore, associate director of immunization education with the Immunization Action Coalition.

The USA TODAY vaccine panel is designed to offer readers an objective, nonpartisan understanding of how close we are to getting an effective vaccine distributed to the nation’s residents. We’re about a third of the way there, they said.

“I think we’ll have a vaccine by the middle of next year,” said Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia.

Pamela Bjorkman, a structural biologist at Caltech University, said she agrees, though one of the hardest parts – scaling up to make enough doses of the vaccine – will be a major challenge.

“I subtracted an hour from the one-third of the way there estimate to account for manufacturability and distribution issues,” she said via email.

Not to pile onto the Fauci hate train, but does anyone else find his contrasting of the new Chinese swine flu with H1N1/the Spanish flu to be highly irresponsible/driven by his limelight lust given the lack of concrete data regarding the disease? It's just another instance of him mugging for the camera without having any kind of game plan or holistic understanding of the threat at hand.

Well that's all good and fine, but what about my God-given right as a free American to be an a-hole and not where a mask?
