there wont be a vaccine. we have been trying to make a vaccine for corona viruses for years, it doesnt work. thats like saying we need to wait for the AIDS vaccine

This is wrong.

There was successful research done on coronavirus vaccines, pharma just couldn't figure out how to monetize it so they didn't fund the project.

I genuinely don't get the fixation on a vaccine when actually all that is needed is a halfway decent treatment that reduces mortality. Something that blocks or lessens the attachment to the A whatever receptors in the lungs; I saw info that some German scientists already have promising results.

If that happens life swiftly goes back to normal.

No. We slow this down so hospitals don't collapse. The virus will dig his way trough 40% of the population, then enough people will be naturally immune to it so it will not spread has much and hospitals will not collapse from it, and we will know how to attend the ill people.

In 2021 it will just be another illness we suffer, like the flu.

Our objetive now is to buy time for hospitals and scientist to learn about the bug. To slowly have the population of people immune to this growing.

Before this it was to stop it, but we are beyond that post by far.

It mostly has to do with boosting herd immunity to lessen the impact if another wave hits. For example, the flu vaccine is still worth getting even if they got the strain wrong, mostly because it still adds protection against the worst symptoms.

Most of this current wave will be fought w/ drug interventions during the cytokine storm phase, tho, yes.

Things will get worse and worse and worse, and then better and better and better.

You can look at china to see how many days it take for things to return to thew new normal (the new normal will be different than the old normal). Is not a year.

China took some pretty drastic steps to try and get it under control, which the US is unlikely to be able to do.

If the US keeps failing to meaningfully address the problem then it very well could be a year.

South Korea managed to get things under control very quickly with mostly voluntary means. And this was after the death cult spread the disease all over some super high population density cities.

Mass free testing, social distancing, and sane quarantines to contain the spread of the virus sounds a lot better to me than licking authoritarian boots, welding people into their homes, and containing the spread of information about the spread of the virus ala the CCP.

I thought of an important hygeine tip for men.

Consider how often you touch your dick in public restrooms. Do you wash your dick along with your hands before exiting? Keep that in mind when you touch your dick at other times throughout the day. Wash your hands after touching. If someone else is handling your dick, make sure to wash beforehand, although this should already be a common courtesy.

Has anybody seen any analysis as to how long COVID-19 lasts? Is it literally a few days to a few weeks? Or do we not know?

I found it here: https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus

It’s ~2 weeks for mild Cases and up to 6 weeks for severe cases.
