[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son had a meeting with a MS teacher last night, and was told it's pretty certain DL will happen until at least February.[/quote]

Why do they think anything will change in February?[/quote]

There's some hope a vaccine could be available by then, but I think it's more of a "not before" date. [/quote]

Some big shot Dr. announced today that he’s pretty sure this will be over by January. Too lazy to find the link but maybe somebody else can.

Then again Fauci and the AAP already said school should open so who even knows what the criteria is.[/quote]

Doctor is just guessing.  EVEN IF - best case scenario - vaccine is done by December, don't know efficacy and then [b]we're faced with the issue that not everyone will want it[/b].  Anti maskers will turn into anti-vaxxers.  Will that make a difference?  Who knows but I think Jan/Feb might be too early.  My guess is right after spring break.[/quote]

We're faced with the issue of actually getting everyone (or enough people) vaccinated. How long will it take to vaccinate 328 million people?[/quote]

Not going to happen.

I’m not an anti-vaxxer and I wear my mask religiously.

But I absolutely will not make my kids get a Covid vaccine.  No way, no how.  IF it even comes out, it will have been rushed through.

I think there are many people who will (rightfully) decline a Covid vaccine.

Well, there you go, "until there's a vaccine" people. Until there's a vaccine = never.

Mind you, PP, although the vaccine [u]effort[/u] will have been rushed through, that doesn't necessarily mean that the individual vaccine development, trials, approval, and manufacturing will have been rushed through. Usually they wait until they have approval to start manufacturing, because of the risk of non-approval, but as I understand it, they're already ramping up manufacturing now. That's where the time savings is coming from.[/quote]
