I’m already socializing , got tested don’t have it

It's highly unlikely there will be a vaccine. There are no vaccines for Ebola, HIV, etc which have a similar vector. If, and that's a big if, there is some type of vaccine, I would guess it would have the same efficacy as the flu's vaccine--about 40-50%. So...people will have to make a decision to shelter in place etc. or get on with their lives like we do with the flu that has a yearly death toll of 40-80,000. I vote to get on with my life with moderate precautions.

Rumor has it common cold will not kill me.

What would it take for me, personally, to socialize again? It would take a vaccine and a better CHILDHOOD. I basically prefer machines and puppy dogs to socialize with.

Macho? haha Yeah, I'm 6', 170#. I'm a real beast of a guy. :boxing2: Reading your statement, I need to stay inside. If I do dare to open the door (because I'm all macho... and stuff) I need to wear a mask because if I don't, I'm going to get the flu and live on a ventilator. That's pretty much what you said correct?
There is one thing that scares me far more than dying and that is Not Living. If you want to live the rest of your life captive in your home afraid of what is outside have at it bud. I truly feel bad for you but I do like the decreased traffic when I go places so I guess I owe you a thanks.

Rumor has it, you're wrong!
Overall, a total of more than 18,000 Americans have died from cold-related causes since 1979, according to death certificates.

Just our thought that people can not behave and think of the society as a whole. We now live in a culture that is "ALL ABOUT ME".

Scare tactics are very efficacious … that's why they use them :icon_wink:

And of those 140k, I'd love to know how many had pre existing conditions from treating their bodies like hell for decades. Purely a guess but I'd say well over half. I'd love to know though.
Said it before, 40% of Americans are considered obese and it doesn't take a doc to figure all the wonderful things that go along with that. Diabetes, coronary issues... yada yada. You're healthy and die from it, I'm sad for your loss but healthy people die all the time, part of living I guess.
If you're so out of shape you can't pick up something you dropped or haven't seen your privates without the use of a mirror since the last century because you've treated your body like a wasteland for the past couple of decades and die from this thing? Well sorry about your luck. You should have pushed yourself away that table long ago.

Oh and to answer your question? All of them! I doubt if any of them believe much of anything right now.

Now that's funny but it was 42.
