Yes, data, nothing more. Going too fast can potentially make things worse.
The world has to follow the science and medicine and ultimately a vaccine.
Until then staying in place is the best practice.
I'm not proposing that there should be a one-size-fits-all approach to the process or that we should ignore the data and open tomorrow, Brian.
What I'm saying is that a nationwide shutdown is not sustainable for 1-2 years with resulting in a substantial amount pain and suffering--and yes, even death. There are workable solutions towards improving the odds for the most vulnerable among us besides everyone staying inside and out of work indefinitely.
And I disagree that the world HAS to follow a vaccine. Personally, I will not taking it---at least not one that's been fast-tracked and/or in it's debut phase. As a rule of thumb, I don't take new drugs or treatments unless I feel the benefits outweigh the risks to me.
I'll let other folks try it out and wait and see how things pan out for a few years. Then I might take it, though I'd much prefer it not be one that Gates is behind.
And no, I am NOT an anti-vaxxer. I'm absolutely convinced that science behind vaccines is legit--but the motivations of Gates and his corrupt as fuck pharmaceutical interests? Not so much.
Why anyone wouldn't a least question a brand new vaccine funded by Thanos is beyond me.
