Ok i have been reading, watching on Covid 19....its not longer a health issue, it's now an economic issue as well...hence, I can talk about it 😊
Let me State my own observations, you can also chime in....

Just my own observations...(my only qualification is A3 in WASC Biology)...(Not A1.....A3)
1. it's a virus...its cant be killed.
2..The only way to avoid the effects of a virus in your body is via acquiring immunity.

3. There are only two ways to get immunity, via a vaccine or via the host (you) getting the virus naturally, fighting it off and getting immune. A vaccination is a mild form of the virus itself. (remember Small pox vaccination in the 1970s?...oh you were not born then?)
4. Social distancing and other measures are not intended to kill or cure....its purpose is to slow the spread of the virus so when people do get sick, they don't overwhelm the hospitals and doctors. (just like a bank run).
Remember how we need ventilators?

5. A vaccine is at best.....(I mean at best) 12 months away....it wont happen tommorow.
All those drugs mentioned e.g. Hydroxy Chloroquine are targeted at effects the virus causes.....
No silver bullet yet

6. Look at chart below, it shows a chart comparing length of restrictions and Covid case load...Oregon and West Virginia (far right practiced strict social distancing for longer, they have a low case load.
South Dakota did not practice strict, they have a high case load
South Dakota did not practice strict, they have a high case load
7. Florida, large State by population, old population, low social distancing lenght, low case load
New York, large State by population, long social distancing lenght, high case load.
my point? there is no correlation between strict social distancing lenght and covid case load.

8. So if we cant solve this completly by social distancing, and a vaccine will not happen in 12 months, what then is the strategy?
At this point, my A3 in Biology pass expires....I yield to those more knowledgeable in immunology and immunotherapy.
