Yeah, this is the plan. The problem is this country doesn't have a plan for accomplishing Step 1. We don't even have a plan for how to make a Step 1 plan. And we don't even have people in the federal government (and too many state governments) who can make a plan for how to put together a Step 1 plan.
We're pretty much fucked until a vaccine arrives. Even then I don't think the country will ever recover. We'll be economically devastated.
I sobbed watching that because I keep saying that too...what’s the plan? There must be a plan. The adults in the room who’ll make a plan...where are they? Where’s that pandemic team that we heard had been fired? Can they be given a lot of money to be rehired to make a plan?
There used to be people in the federal government whose job it was to come up with plans for exactly these scenarios. Most have them have been fired or silenced, and replaced by people who have no idea what they’re talking about.
I know! I’ve seen that clip where he brags about firing them because he’a a business man and he doesn’t want people just on the payroll. Fucking asshole! But where are they???

Has anyone seen anything regarding what will happen when there is a vaccine? Will every citizen be required to get one? Will it be like a flu shot and be optional? There are still so many people who think this is all a hoax that I worry they'll all suddenly decide to be anti vaxxers and not get one and, god help us, if 45 wins in Nov I don't see his administration really pushing a vaccine on the general public.

I wouldn't be surprised if it became a requirement for enrolling in CA public schools. Newsom has been very proactive and I am so thankful he's our governor right now.
Newsom's been out ahead of this from the start. While I'm glad Cuomo is out and on it now, even he took a little longer to come around.

For sure it’ll be a requirement as soon as it becomes readily available. I don’t see Newsom not making it one of the required vaccines. I will gladly get my kids and myself vaccinated as soon as we can.
I see chatter, though no reputable news source links, that Rudy Giuliani recently bought a lot of Novartis stock.
ETA: and ....
Before President Donald Trump made headlines with his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Friday, the president and his advisers met behind-the-scenes with European business leaders, including two pharma executives, to try and gin up more U.S. investment.
The president took a dinner with Novartis' CEO-to-be Vas Narasimhan, Bayer CEO Werner Baumann and other executives to "share our economic success story and to encourage them to continue to invest in America," National Economic Council director Gary Cohn told reporters at a White House briefing ahead of the trip.

I can’t find it now, but I read an account of someone’s COVID symptoms in Wuhan (British or Australian guy). He had a pretty bad case, and his kitten ended up dying.
I did not need to read this. I'll be devastated if I bring it home to my two cats.

I think when the vaccine is widely available, conservatively 18 months from now, all except the most ardent anti-vaxxers will have realized it's not a hoax. I picture it being like when the polio vaccine came out and moms lined up for blocks to get their kids vaccinated.

We don't even have a plan for tomorrow. I feel 100% confident in saying that there is no plan for the day, 12-18 months from now, when there might be a vaccine. So to answer your question, we'll be screwed if he wins reelection.

14 years ago, my econ professor declared in class that we'd become a second or third-world country within the next fifteen to twenty years. We all thought he was a little crazy. Joke's on us.

This upsets me more than a lot of things, because one of my cats has asthma.
tiramisu, msmerymac, - sorry! It has been the only report I have read, so I'm sure it's rare. The tiger story just jogged my memory.
It will be amazing to read what they have learned about this virus in the future and why some are affected so negatively and why some don't even know they have it.
