The idea is vaccine.
In 12 months.

mostly pointless

So we will have to sit at homes untill the vaccine is accepted for use? Also Spain is easing some of the restrictions due to drop in daily cases and deaths. Let's see how it works out for them.

>lockdown commences
>half the world in unlawful house arrest
>infection still exponential
>some places start to open up
>infection rates peter out
Holy fuck it's like government can't do shit but cripple the economy.

We stil have swine and bird flu, just not as many as when it was first introduced.
Just expect to catch the beer flu eventually. Maybe not this year, but eventually next year or later.

Implying there is a vaccine, implying there will be on for everyone in 12 months.

KEK

I bet you go to church too and pray God to take it all away.

The virus has an intrinsic rate at which it will kill. Factors like quality of care can make some small difference but there's little can be done to change that rate.
But here's the simple but that people just for some reason can't get through their heads for some fucking reason.
Lockdown is not to stop the virus, lockdown won't change the viruses basic impact on people. But lockdown will slow the spread. The virus has the ability to infect a given number of people, which is illustrated by the curve diagrams you see. The point is to change the shape of the curve but the area under the curve will long term be the same.
Lockdown slows the rate of spread so that health systems can cope. If people cant get treatment then the death rate rises. Death rate without treatment is obviously much higher than with. Lockdown is to keep need below capacity. That's it. Nothing more.

Secondary point. While we are seeing our governments criticised there is no mechanism to criticise and hold to account the media who are involved in an idiotic, misleading, selfish, parasitic, dishonest circle jerk, cluster fuck.
Journos are fucking scum.

ENOUGH PLEASE. SLEEP

We cant just sit 12 month at home, that would obliterate every economy. I expect that people over 60 will have to stay at home and young people go to work again until we have a vaccine

You slow the rate of infection to levels that the healthcare infrastructure can manage without being overloaded, otherwise you end up with a shitload of deaths that could have been avoided. As time progresses better treatments are discovered, testing improves, most of the general public realizes they should stop fucking around and use safer practices to avoid it, herd immunity slowly kicks in and ultimately a vaccine is created.

The initial lockdown was to get a grip on something that has at least 2 week information lag. It was deliberate overcaution. We can then adjust measures to allow the virus to spread at a controlled rate

HEY YOU, YES YOU. I SEE YOU IN ALL THESE THREADS.

this whole virus was made up bullshit to try and fuck the economy for the 2020 election. It is so fucking obvious they lie about everything and all of their predictions turned out false while we still have to destroy the economy so they can blame trump and force us to give up our freedoms. total bullshit.

Vaccine is hard to do with coronavirus. There is vaccine for flu but no vaccine for common cold, because it can't really be done effectively.

The only answer is herd immunity or eradication

Based user is correct and dubs of truth reinforce it.

I work at Target doing maintenance, and part of me is glad we're still open and I'm still making money. But part of me knows we're not taking the virus seriously enough and our system is gonna be overwhelmed. So I just hide in utility rooms and shit as much as I can, stay clean, and save my money.

This. I'm an American and I'm of two minds about the virus. My mother and father are older, not with great lungs. It would really suck to see them go such a shitty, scary way.

On the other hand, if this virus did kill off a big chunk of elderly, homeless, terminally ill etc... that would probably be really good.

Which program?

Fucking retard. Can't Google anything. We are all likely to get sick. That's why we socially distance. To mitigate impact of those who need to utilize healthcare systems. As to not overload the hospitals and guarantee people that can recover have a chance. If we all get sick and need medical attention at once. More people will die. People here are saying we are doing this to give doctors time to make a vaccine. Fuck no. They might not have a viable vaccine for two years. We need to lessen the impact now and help everyone who needs it. Keep the vaccine as a hope in the back of your mind, but it's not a end all. Science can't just insta solve issues. Believe it or not the worlds more complicated than that.

You think the whole world cares about american election? You fucking retarded monkey

>you dont

kek. its the only election that matters

the purpose of the lockdown was to slow the spread. it was already inevitable that almost everyone will get infected, its just a question of when, and how many of those get it die.

People act like vaccine in 12 months is a given. It is possible no vaccine will be found.

No it's not. Bill Gates wants inside your body and he will get there one way or another.

I have read a lot every day about the virus. I am coming to the conclusion to just let it go through society, and whoever lives, lives. There are no good plans. That’s what we did in 1918.

>trump
>freedom
heh

Common cold doesn't have a vaccine because they are generally not as serious as flu and are caused by many different viruses among three different distinct virus types. It is actually feasible to make a common cold vaccine for any one of those but it isn't normally serious enough to warrant cost and effort. Plus would require a load of different vaccines.
With c19 tho we are directing efforts towards one specific virus. So is technically not that hard but it still takes time.
Talk of vaccines sooner than a year are bollocks. UK press quoting a vaccine research expert saying vaccine available by September. But if you look at the actually reality that would require the government to start manufactur as soon as the discovery is made while still no efficacy and safety data available. This time line also includes a truncated safety testing period which requires some area to allow rapid spread if the disease to get quick data. In other words let the virus run loose to get data quicker. But what government is going to allow an entire city or large town to be used as s giant experiment and what would that look like if the vaccine was ineffective or unsafe, or both.
Media are parasites in this pandemic. Journos are fucking scum

Go lick a hand rail you fucking brainlet

Your comment is too high of quality for Yas Forums and this thread. Remember how many tards are on this board.

Well, in uk people can go outside for "essential exercise"
They got one hour, they spend about 6 in parks in groups of 5 or more
Like, negro, wtf is wrong with this cucked nation?
There's nothing essential about fucking exercise
One could not exercise for years and beside a shit endurance nothing is gonna change
FUCK I HATE THIS JEW INFESTED COUNTRY!!!
