”WHO Director Says ‘It’s Very Unlikely’ Countries Can Eradicate Disease Now”

Defintely one item I have been losing my mind about for months. Lockdowns don’t eradicate the disease, it just puts it on hold for later.
We're pilots, not epidemiologists. But what I can say is that eradication never really happens. Even Polio wasn't 100% eradicated. But what you can do is get the clusters small enough that they can be isolated and smothered quickly.

So not being able to 100% eradicate a virus is not permission to do nothing. It's like complaining that because the embers of the wildfire you just extinguished don't get cold, you should stop spraying water.

And you seem to have forgotten the conversation we had earlier. We're stalling until the vaccine. Dr. Fauci has been reporting that several vaccine candidates are looking good for a late 2020 approval and an early 2021 rollout.

Wouldn't it be a shame if we did nothing, hundreds of thousands more died, and then a solid vaccine comes through 8 months later?
