Best case scenario for vaccine is year to year and a half. Is this our normal until then? -- nm - ty97 Mar 12, 06:38 7
- If we don’t contain it, sure, but again most viruses have shown susceptibility to humans acting smartly as explained in great detail in that long form - JackDawson Mar 12, 06:42 4
  - It just seems like we won't eradicate it completely, some idiot will still do something idiotic, and then it can start spreading again. - ty97 Mar 12, 06:45 3
    - I mean if you want to imagine scenarios were this becomes the new normal I’m sure you can. I’m just looking at past experience with these outbreaks an - JackDawson Mar 12, 06:50 2
      - Right, i don't think this becomes the norm for the future. but i do 100% believe it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. -- nm - Andie Mar 12, 06:50 1
        
        That's statistically guaranteed, too -- nm - JackDawson Mar 12, 06:53
- No. Look at China. Something like only 8 new cases yesterday. It blows over and then people get vaccinated -- nm - oblique Mar 12, 06:40 1
  - China is an authoritarian rule, people obey orders or go to prison, people are checked every other block, before entering transit stations -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 12, 11:18
