And what if like the AIDS virus a vaccine is not possible, not a fan of heard immunity far from it but what is the alternative ?
Antiviral drugs used in HIV are being trialled and showing good signs,there will be medicines that can control it whilst we wait for a vaccine
 
  • The top Swedish health official, Anders Tegnell, has faced criticism for avoiding the lockdowns implemented by neighbouring countries - the death toll in Sweden has now passed 3,000
 
Try a good 75% away. I reckon circa 5% of the population have caught this so far. If I am right then that would mean trying to get herd immunity before a vaccine or effective treatment would mean another 15x the current 30 to 40 thousand dead. It's an insane "strategy".
Was going to post the same.
 
Which is a great achievement I mean that, but AIDS was discovered 40 years ago, that's my point.
I don't think it was that long ago but I see what you mean,we are a few decades ahead now science wise and patients don't die with aids like they used to do ,we can use those same drugs if the trials work out for covid,nothing is going to be 100%,we will have to live with covid now,the hope is it becomes weaker and a vaccine can be given to the at risk people like flu and pneumonia jabs are now,it should be more of a flu type situation going towards than aids type situation
