That's not the issue at this moment!! Lockdowns and Not reopening Schools is the issue. A vaccine could take months, and even then we don't know how effective it will be. Right now Trump needs to acknowledge how severe the situation is. Today we had 65,559 new cases and 929 more deaths. We have a crisis going on. Right now Abbott needs to lockdown. Texas had 11,060 new cases and 131 more deaths. Right now is the time for Harris County to lockdown. It's not at all safe to open schools here. We had 1,658 new cases today. Judge Hidalgo and Mayor Turner are being stopped from taking more drastic action every step of the way by Abbott and everyone above him. I can't wait until they are all voted out. They have failed us. Money money money, over people's lives.
It's because of this BS that we need lockfowns. At least 43 test positive for coronavirus after Michigan house party, 66 more exposed https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/least-43-test-positive-coronavirus-after-michigan-house-party-66-n1233798
One of my great Aunts died from COVID a couple of days ago, I only met her a handful of times, she was in her 90's, she died alone only able to say goodbye to her daughter on the phone, my great grandmother was very sad she couldn't be there for her sister. She is one of my 8 family members to have gotten COVID so far.
It is an issue. Not for me but for you if Trump who wants to get the credit and reelected fast tracks mass vaccinations of that thing. It has so many adverse and systemic side effects that any other time it would be thrown either in the trash or need years to improve. Look at this nice graph for under 55 year olds. The company didnt even dare to include the data of older people they vaccinated ..i wonder why? Have hundreds of thousands of old people with bad health get this thing and you possibly dont need to bother about the virus anymore..they will end up in hospitals anyway deadly sick or die. But Trump is welcome to make americans our lab rats.
Very sorry to hear that and hope sorry for your family. Sadly more of us are going to have stories like this..
