Was lockdown completely pointless? Once we reopen, the cases will rise again

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.

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
