they’re going to open up the schools and people are going to get even more sick because it’s already been decided that the economy is more important than abstract infection numbers https://twitter.com/jonlovett/status/1277660012949549056">https://twitter.com/jonlovett...
things aren’t going to re-close. We’ll be told that we’ve done all we can and that any and all losses are unavoidable. They’ll throw skepticism at any numbers that come out and ignore it all
re-closing would mean someone would have to admit that they were wrong. Who do you see out there that would do that

People are going to keep dying until there’s a vaccine, and when there is, it’ll cost so much to get that only those who can afford it will get it
Vulnerable populations will get free vaccines, but only enough for there to be a press release about for some cheap buzz for whatever drug company wins the race. Many folks will have to wait years for a vaccine.
Any candidate running for any office now NEEDS to commit to free vaccines with no strings attached when it’s available. No residency or citizenship requirements. No paperwork or ID checks. No insurance requirement.

That’s the only way we can get enough people vaccinated.
This assumes people will WANT the vaccine that will require the greatest public health project of our generation to distribute

we can’t even get people to agree to put a piece of cloth in front of their mouth
every single one of these steps requires fundamentally putting the needs of the whole over the wants of the individual

so anyway what I’m saying is that we’re all hopelessly fucked
