Standing by for the next installment of hysterics......over.

I’m ignoring your personal attack. Although Kissinger did influence Nixon’s bold strategy to embrace relations, which triangulation arguably shortened the Cold War.

But seriously, can you use all of your knowledge or experience to provide a fact-based analysis for your position?

And looks like you ARE a WalMart shopper. Stop supporting China’s economic interest. Explain to others why they should. Stop insulting people who disagree or have the temerity to challenge your position. Educate and convince instead. I’m not claiming to be smarter than anyone, but I’m smart enough to know that.

Words matter a LOT...ESPECIALLY when they’re coming from POTUS.

Apparently 300 Iranians were injured from ingesting methanol as a potential cure based on Iranian social media. More reasons to leave diagnosing for doctors...not news commentators.

Fauci discusses vaccines, how they are expediting the development and mfg. process here (go to 1:00):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrWAqpPGAxQ

Once widely deployed, an effective vaccine will end the pandemic within that population after the course of existing infections (two weeks). Those who have it, will recover (or not), enough of everyone else will have the vaccine to establish the so-called herd immunity, which will likely not eradicate the virus initially but will limit further spread to isolated cases (anti-vaxxers mostly), ending the pandemic. This has all been discussed ad naseum over the last month.

I don't know why everyone is so hell-bent on insisting that a vaccine is years away... that timeline is based on POLICY and PROCEDURE, which can go right out the window in this kind of situation. Top government leaders will make the call in each country.

We are saying it because that's what the experts are saying. They have already cut as many policies and procedures as they can. Fauci even stated that the second trials MIGHT be finished in November. He has said that it is not possible to forgo human trials. Then it is up to private companies to make it. It takes months to make a BILLION vaccines. There is not enough money in pandemic vaccines for companies to have manufacturing facilities on standby. They are already producing vaccines for contracts that they made a while ago. Sure, they can cancel those contracts, but that is going to require actions from the government (which aren't even being talked about yet).

Sure, we might be getting a vaccine by December, but there will be so little of it that only healthcare workers will get it. It will take 10 months of manufacturing time before there is enough vaccinated people for this pandemic to be over. Bill Gates has been warning us about this for years. He says if is proposals were adopted, there could be enough vaccines in 12 months. His proposals were not adopted and there is not enough time to adopt them now. We still don't even have a vaccine for SARS!

I thought this was Sars? Sars Cov 2 is the virus and covid19 refers to the disease that is a result of a Sars Cov 2 infection.

So why am I seeing so many families/people in sweats with strollers in airports. Are these people “essential workers” or taking advantage of the 20 dollar ticket prices while completely disregarding state and government mandates. When is the federal government going to implement fines/punishment for this?
