There are no guarantees for a vaccine by then and if there are vaccines why are they giving them out to college football players first while front line/essential workers and at risk populations go without?
Lucky man don’t go Dutch
There's no guarantees in life but everything is pointing to there being multiple vaccines before then. The whole point of this is protecting the people who die from the virus, we're worried about schools opening because of spread to old people. Once there are vaccines things will be largely going back to normal whether you like it or not.
The people that don't wear masks ... will they get vaccines ? I don't think everyone will just jump to get a vaccine.
Ah that it were, but that is not the full story on school opening. Kids have teachers and schools don't simply administer, clean or feed themselves. In addition, even if people, including the young, don't die, they often get severely ill, and the long term effects of covid infection are just now beginning to be understood.
We could still show great progress as a state, the University having its kids go back on campus could go great too, but nothing is going to happen at all unless Lamont starts dialing back restrictions on travel between states.
50% election year politics IMO.
Very well spoken! For myself, I definitely will take one of the vaccines but not necessarily the first one that is available- perhaps wait a couple of months at least before getting it- maybe if there are adverse reactions then I will avert them by waiting a little.
This is probably the most level headed approach. No matter how anybody feels about a vaccine, that's what it's going to take for things to start getting back to normal, or should I say a "new" normal. Im no medical expert, but Im hoping they come up with some kind of treatment for the virus like we have for regular colds and flu. That along with a vaccine would make things a lot easier.
I'm only replying to him saying why would college football players get vaccines first, they wouldn't. In shape teens and kids will be down the list, health care workers with comorbidities and the older public with comorbidites will get vaccinated first. Schools are being shut down and this fear of Colleges and College sports starting up is because of community spread it's not because we think 20 year old athletes and kids will succumb to the virus.
