Good morning,

There will be no vaccine for 12-18 months.

Social distancing is only a short term solution.

The only way will be able to leave our homes is if the government starts TESTING EVERYONE

The sooner we accept this (and demand it), the sooner we can get back to living.
It goes like this:

If we flatten the curve and then simply “get back to normal,” the virus will return with a vengeance and people will die on a massive scale.

Instead, if we test EVERYONE regularly, treat the sick and quarantine the exposed, we can begin to live again.
This is an ENORMOUS undertaking (10-20 million tests per day) requiring a level of production mobilization equal to world war 2, except instead of planes and bombs, we must produce reagents, equipment and lab space.

It is also the ONLY way we can leave our homes safely.
