I was always a solitary person.
However this is very different. This is "The Quiet Earth".
I find I have fits of profound sorrow anger boredom confusion, and attempted gluttony.
However I know there is no other way.
We have to stand down.
Maybe,...especially in big cities for a year to 18 months.
This till the vaccines will be generally available.
A rather long road is still ahead. Stand fast.
I'm not holding my breath for a vaccine. Coronaviruses mutate especially fast, I gather, so it may not work any more reliably than the annual flu vaccine. I think we are entering a really, really good time to invest in health supplements. The age of reliable and readily available miracle cures may be behind us.
ReplyDeleteThe economy can't and won't shut down for 18 months. I'm guessing we have a few more weeks to go before the authorities start letting businesses gradually open up.
Did you know that Jonas Salk chose not to patent his polio vaccine? What a guy. Try to imagine Fauci or other present day big pharma operatives doing that. I don't think they merit our trust.
The fact remains there will be no effective though perhaps temporary vaccine for 18 months. A year to produce months to test manufacture, and distribute world wide.
ReplyDeleteAs I said in another rant.
It's going to be a WW2 level undertaking.
The world can do it,...we with this leadership cannot.
So complications when they get it before we do.
Especially if #45 is still in office. You can imagine the demented horror he'll make of it.
The COVID vaccines may as you say have to be something always updated tweaked like AIDS meds. This may be a new normal. Rather actually a return to normal. When simple infections were fatal.
It seems we live in even more interesting times than we had thought.
