For testing, are you suggesting we should execute 300+ million tests within a very short window (like a few days short window), and then quarantine the sick? Do you believe we have the testing resources to accomplish that? Do you believe we can lock our borders down tight enough to not let more infection in? How will you manage to execute such tests without getting everyone to gather in big testing facilities which will surely infect some of the people who tested negative? Try to play out the logistics of this in your mind for how we'd really accomplish this in the real world. It's not real any time soon.
The absolute best case scenario by Fauci for a vaccine was 1 year. Let's assume even that miracle occurs. Do you really believe shutting down the economy for a year is feasible without a collapse of civilization as we know it? Then you have the same logistical problem of making and delivering this vaccine to literally billions of people. It's technically doable, but not in any kind of short time frame. I'm sorry, but it's just not real, and it never was.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoYou seem to have misunderstood me. This leads to you vehemently arguing against something that is not my position. I said that this is what it would take in order for testing to work. I didn't say that I thought it was doable; in fact, I think it is not. As for a vaccine, I think that one is possible, but not certain, and not immediate. And I said so, rather plainly.
- Consultant32452 7y agoYes, apologies. I missed the very last bit of your OP, "I don't see either of those happening very soon."
