Even if a vaccine is developed, tons of people will be killed by COVID-xx every year because:

1. Tons of people who are immunocompromised can't get the vaccine
2. There is a significant anti-vaxx population in the USA to begin with
3. Refusing to get the vaccine is going to be a partisan political marker, which will augment #2 in hilarious ways.

It's gonna be great.

If Covid becomes seasonal it's just going to be the flu, but worse, and also we'll still have the regular flu.

I loving knew this was going to happen. As soon as they showed us their plan I knew people were just going to say gently caress it.

It's like watching a classroom pack up 10 minutes before class and you just know the teacher is going to make them stay late because of it.

well it may shock you to hear this, but: several 'red' counties in pennsylvania are planning to ignore the governor's orders and move themselves from 'red' to 'yellow' because they feel like it

Schuylkill County tells governor it’s going rogue, easing coronavirus restrictions without permission

i'm pretty sure governor wolf's not gonna do poo poo about it, but what do i know

quote:

The plan is to have no plan, to let daily deaths between one and three thousand become a normal thing, and then to create massive confusion about who is responsible— by telling the governors they’re in charge without doing what only the federal government can do, by fighting with the press when it shows up to be briefed, by fixing blame for the virus on China or some other foreign element, and by “flooding the zone with poo poo,” Steve Bannon’s phrase for overwhelming the system with disinformation, distraction, and denial, which boosts what economists call “search costs” for reliable intelligence.

Stated another way, the plan is to default on public problem solving, and then prevent the public from understanding the consequences of that default. To succeed this will require one of the biggest propaganda and freedom of information fights in U.S. history, the execution of which will, I think, consume the president’s re-election campaign.

I hate to be all my uncle works at Nintendo, but I know someone who works at a fairly significant university, and the administrators there are openly admitting among themselves that if they don't open in August, the university will close. So they are going to open in August no matter what. They dont' have any other choice

the purposes of the US response were probably

1) lockout
2) china war
3) election tampering

in maybe that order

what i feel like ppl are missing is that an Iraq-style invasion and hot war with China would go nuclear and lead to potentially multiple gigadeaths and absolutely shred the antimattering field.

we have enough produced materials to shut down all of society for 45 days, freeze all rents and bills, distribute food/medicine, free healthcare, enforce quarantine and burn out the virus like a light switch

but because our material lives are entwined with ever more production and gains and there's an enormous house of cards built on all of our backs that supports a complicated matrix of sovereign power divvied up amongst oligarchs, we have to have a long slow death march into hundreds of thousands of corpses to sate their psychotic determination to stay gripped onto the reigns of society

any other sane, rational civilization (communist) would be able to understand what needs to be done for the good of all and get it done easily lmao
