Absolutely agree with this factual thread starter. Michael Osterholm, a leading epidemiologist, says that the US has around 50,000 cases per day currently. But, before the end of the year there will be 100,000 per day. You can Google him easily. He also doubts that a vaccine would be available to the average person before the middle of 2021. And since NOT all Americans will take the vaccine and our borders can not be closed, that the CV will be with us FOREVER. But, hopefully in only small numbers of infections in the future. He and other scientists have also said that countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and (I believe) Japan are able to limit the CV to acceptable numbers because they are islands. So, they can better control and quarantine people as they arrive. He predicted 2 months ago that the rapid Abbott test as used by the White House was like the Secret Service using water pistols against assassins. He said that the US is like a train racing toward a wreck!
