[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just going back through the original mega Corona thread.  Jeez, you guys nailed this.  What I want to know is if DCUM knew so early what a serious problem we had on our hands, why didn't the experts?   SMH[/quote]

I was one of the people posting what would happen when others were trying to minimize the whole thing.  They called me names and said I was dramatizing and trying to scare people.  They said I was “getting off” on wanting people to die.  All I wanted was to make people aware.

It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.  I’m glad we are taking steps to slow the spread now.  If we had done even a little a month ago we would be in a better place now but it’s still a lot better than waiting until the hospitals are completely saturated like everyone else is doing.

I also predicted the economy collapse including car sales.  In another month you’ll be able to get some sweet no interest car loans if you’re in need.  Just because everything is bad right now doesn’t mean people still don’t need to buy cars.  I’d say, even if you were thinking about getting one in a year, just get it in the next few months when all the manufacturers put out those no interest loans.

The government is throwing money at this but it’s just not going to work.  People aren’t going to fly, rent hotel rooms, or go to casinos so either they need to let some of these companies fail and get bought out by survivors or they are going to have to bail them out multiple times.  The cruise ship industry is going to be on hard times for a long time after this.  They’re going to need to shrink because I have a feeling they will have a permanent drop in demand even after this is all over.

It’s important to remember, this will come to an end.  Next year (if we are super lucky the end of this year but it would need to be a miracle) we will have a vaccine and everything will go back to normal.  I don’t know what they will do with all the hundreds of thousands of spare ventilators they’ll make for this outbreak though.  Hopefully someone is trying to figure that out because we don’t have enough for the crisis but we will have too many afterwards.[/quote]

The vaccine is not going to make things "go back to normal."

This will run its course, as all viruses do. Many people will become immune by getting it, and recovering. The virus will mutate and become weaker, and it will die out. We don't get vaccinated every year for SARS, do we? No, because SARS is essentially gone. This virus will be gone too. Don't rely on a vaccine to "cure" this pandemic. It won't. Testing and isolation will slow it down. Respirators and ICU beds will save lives in the next few weeks and months.

The virus may no longer be in circulation by the time the virus is available. It may help with future outbreaks, but not this one. [/quote]
