Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

I don't understand the tone here. Are you suggesting that the vaccine is worthless and we will forever be in this current state?

You catch on fast.....

Why though? The vaccine doesn't work or something else?

I honestly don't think anyone really knows much of anything. We seem to be making it up as we go along.

They did large studies on multiple vaccines. They work. If people take them things will go back to normal eventually (yes we may have 3 eyes)

Also IF the vaccine is less effective due to the E484K mutation, they say the vaccines won't be adjusted as the efficacy would be lower by only small %.

However though, for people who had the virus before, it has been shown the antibodies from previous infections does not recognize the new variant.
Not sure on the T-cells though.

They will do great. They won't protect you from getting or transmitting the virus, and we'll still have to social distance, wear masks, and keep businesses shut down (well, the small ones anyway), and we'll need to keep schools closed forever. But other than that, they will do great.

I bet you $20 that this time next year the mask mandate is gone, all schools are back in person, and no business restrictions are in place (nc)

I do hear as time goes by, COVID-19 would be like the common cold in a few years

Also for the restrictions, unless something crazy happens with a new variant I do think we will see things get relaxed sometime in the Summer as we near nationwide herd immunity. If we can speed up the vaccine deployment that could definitely help.

I hope so.

Keep in mind they are still catching up on the holiday weekend and I'm hearing there would be more disruptions to the data tomorrow because of Inauguration day.

Also sad news from Mexico

We definitely seem to be rounding the corner and now on the downswing with this wave. Hopefully, with vaccines soon to be widely deployed, this is the last major wave we see.

Went bowling a couple days ago in Rome Ga. There was Around 100 people there and I was the only one wearing a mask that I saw. I was pretty shocked.

Me and my son are both sick but I tested negative. My wife who gets tested every Wednesday and Friday has been tired but not sick. Well she tested positive tonight. My guess is since I tested so soon after symptoms i may not be shedding virus yet?
