(9,263 posts)of this. Only immunity testing AND a viable vaccine. Obviously the vaccine is a year away BUT immunity test is now and most be done on a massive scale so at least those people can be in close proximity of others who have immunity as well. The rest of us are simply sitting targets until the next flare up and its up to us to safe guard ourselves as best as possible and find a way back to some resemblance of normal

(19,065 posts)People are becoming numb to it. 2000 deaths a day was unthinkable 5 weeks ago. Now it's expected.
Trump has moved his goal posts too many times to count, but one that even FOX News will mention is he predicted "well under 100,000 deaths". That is off the table now, there's no way we end up with under 100,000 deaths now.
What is needed from Biden and our party is to ignore his base supporters, they are beyond reach, who cares what they think. All that matters now is the independents and moderates, and they remember his lies.
