[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Covid is not going anywhere. A vaccine will help slightly but not by alot.  It's coming to a field near us all. We should be moving forward - like pp said a game with restrictions on the weekends but yes- people will always test positive.The tournaments need to be scrapped though. [/quote]

A vaccine will not “help by alot”  
 
You clearly have jumped the shark of stupidity. Your agenda is childish and self centered.

Of course a vaccine will help a lot.

Go away. [/quote]

Im sure you think saying 70s sayings like "jumped the shark" and saying mean things proves your point..but unfortunately it doesn't.

Estimates are that vaccine efficacy will be similar to the flu..which is about 45%-50%. Combine that with recent studies that 27% of people will likely decline the flu... now we have efficacy at about 35% of the population.

Now consider that the world has about 7.8 billion people- and how much vaccine will be available- and where. It depends what country distributes it. Distribution to masses will take at least a year as initial vials will be given to those most in need.

I have no agenda. I am a medical provider and I'm probably in the middle ground on this issue.

Im for opening schools and playing soccer with restrictions. Ive been working everyday as essential. My kids are in summer camp and our school is "planning" to open 5 days. Outside of those things I dont travel or do restaurants, etc.

I definitely want our society to move forward as quickly and safely as possible but the fact remains. "Alot" is subjective.  So in my opinion, a vaccine will help..but not alot.

If you think a vaccine will not have an impact on confidence level you are wrong. We will certainly still need to be wearing facemasks for the foreseeable future until herd immunity takes effect. A vaccine plus face masks, plus maintaining levels of social distancing will have a tremendous impact moving forward.

An with comparing to the flu vaccine and its effectiveness the Covid proteins being targeted do not change, therefor a vaccine will be far more predictive an effective. Also, even with the limited effectiveness of the flu vaccine we do not shut down for the flu anymore because it does make enough of a difference.

Distribution of the vaccine in this country alone will take 2 to 4 months but by targeting vulnerable populations first we can loosen our restrictions that much quicker. [/quote]

"If you think a vaccine will not have an impact on confidence level you are wrong." - no one said this anywhere... you're debating yourself.

" A vaccine plus face masks, plus maintaining levels of social distancing will have a tremendous impact moving forward."- the argument made was regarding helpfulness of the vaccine alone - not vaccine combined with social distancing and masks...youre changing the narrative. I do agree with your changed statement though.

"Distribution of the vaccine in this country alone will take 2 to 4 months" hopefully so but point was made stating time it may take months to reach the US. It depends on who distributes it.
