It might last forever like AIDS. Antibodies last only few months so if vaccine developed you are going to need multiple shots to stay protected. But things aren't that terrible. It looks like some East Asian countries got it under control even without lockdowns. As long as government takes virus seriously and not acting macho it can be taken under control.
Yeah Pasha, but look who we’ve got as a President? We call him the “Orange Man” in the White House. What a disaster. And he says he’s got “a stable intelligence”, whatever that is supposed to mean. And he keeps telling everybody we’re developing a vaccine and and it’s going to be “fantastic” because he knows and he’s “smart.” My god, you’re lucky you don’t live here. For him it’s all about being re-elected. Out here, on the West Coast, (California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington) no one is voting for him. We’re about 100% Democrat so he feels free to send in his goon squad federal police into our cities, even when our governors and majors say they don’t want them in here, to put down protesters, like he’s some kind of fascist dictator. What a mess. He only sends his fascist federal police into liberal West Coast cities because he knows he has no chance of winning there out here anyway. 3 more months till the elections and then we can get someone in to replace the Orange Man. Hopefully.
I did hear that a corona vaccine would only last so long and have to be repeated. Let’s hope it’s not like an HIV vaccine, which will never happen, unfortunately. I recall back in 1984 they said they’d probably have an HIV vaccine in 2 years. Yeah right. Look how that turned out.
But, they have to do something about Corona, because it’s messing up everyone everywhere.
"Stable intelligence" means you can repeat five words: "person, woman, man, camera, TV". Can you do that? He can.
Recently, It looks like he is kinda changing his approach. He now supports face masks so it might stop being a political issue. Face mask is a political issue can you imagine that? Anyway it is still better late than never, it is probably late for his reelection campaign though, even Fox polls spell doom for his reelection chances. Texas is now a battleground state. Unless covid magically disappear you know "like miracle it will disappear" and millions of unemployed people magically become employed and be able to pay their rent/mortgage there is no way he is going to win the election.
Until US get this under control you still can enjoy trip to Great State of Alabama.
Take a trip to Alabama? My god, what a depressing thought, Pasha.
Actually, it wasn’t the words “stable intelligence” that Trump used to describe himself, but a “stable genius”, I think because he passed a test to see if he could count from 100 to 70 backwards. Quite an accomplishment.
The Orange Man said as to face masks, “If you want to wear one, that’s fine. I have nothing against face masks. But, if you don’t want to wear one that should be ok too.” Brillant statement.
Yes, he knows his popularity is waning due to how badly he botched up the corona virus thing, and the stupidity he showed in handling it. Worse yet, is the impact on the economy. The travel industry is dead, since no one has any place to go, except like you said, to places like Alabama, which no one would want to go to unless they smoked too much marijuana (which is legal in California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington by the way for recreational purposes, far better than in Holland, and several other States too. You just order as much of it online as you want and they deliver it to your house in an hour. It’s expensive, but potent and lasts a long time- at least it gets your mind off this mess and off the Orange Man).
And, the rest of the economy is in a mess. Closed bars and restaurants. Closed beaches. Just like in Europe, only worse. And if the kids are going back to school, who knows? The Universities are all going remote, online. But, unemployment is rising fast, and we’re not getting much in government help. We did get 1,500$ from the government, or $1200 I forgot, but that was months ago, and they are supposed to give us another check, but who knows when that’s coming in. It’s supposed to be soon.
I’m glad I’m not dependent on working for someone because I’d probably be laid off and on unemployment benefits (a lousy 600$ a week). So, yeah, things are looking grim. Hopefully when we get someone in the White House other than the Orange Man things will get better. Then maybe we can get the corona statistics down to reasonable levels and the EU will let us back in.
