because I assumed at some point in the Trump presidency we would be bartering food and ammunition. Did not foresee the hand sanitizer and toilet paper crisis, though. I’ll have to work on that.

Yep. I already had a good stock of canned and frozen foods tanyev Apr 2020 #9

I have the same strategy marlakay Apr 2020 #12

Tests (for infection AND antibodies) will have to be universal, cheap, and frequent. lagomorph777 Apr 2020 #52

I've totally given up hope on universal tests being available. BComplex Apr 2020 #63

But Trump's on his way out. lagomorph777 Apr 2020 #66

I hope you're correct about that! BComplex Apr 2020 #67

Herd immunity if enough people get it, vaccination when one becomes available. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2020 #2

Aww.. sorry. My paternal grandfather Cha Apr 2020 #65

How does herd immunity protect those who are most vulnerable to the most serious complications? Doodley Apr 2020 #10

Eventually there won't be enough hosts to keep passing the virus around. Ace Rothstein Apr 2020 #17

That's a big assumption. There is no evidence that immunity is applicable Eyeball_Kid Apr 2020 #42

The mutations tend to be all over. Igel Apr 2020 #50

Herd immunity: it becomes more difficult ... davekriss Apr 2020 #20

Same way as for any other disease. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2020 #27

It doesn't. If you're vulnerable to CV-19 and you get really sick, Eyeball_Kid Apr 2020 #43

No, it's not primarily a biological thing. Igel Apr 2020 #51

It won't prevent you from getting sick if the virus is around for you to catch. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2020 #53

THIS !!! uponit7771 Apr 2020 #68

It makes it harder for the virus to infect them DBoon Apr 2020 #44

There is no way to know if someone who is "immune" Eyeball_Kid Apr 2020 #45

No - there are multiple falsehoods in your statement DBoon Apr 2020 #46

I'm wondering how many people have been exposed dawg day Apr 2020 #61

Some people have natural immunity to some things obamanut2012 Apr 2020 #64

I think we'll get antibody treatment before we get a vaccine. There are ongoing antibody tblue37 Apr 2020 #33

Good. Whatever works. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2020 #34

Nothing I guess Texaswitchy Apr 2020 #3

Well, it would be nice if we had widespread healthy-people testing. Girard442 Apr 2020 #5

This is the major failing of the Trump Adminstration. Eyeball_Kid Apr 2020 #48

Until everyone is infected? Doodley Apr 2020 #11

Look at Figure 4 in this paper jberryhill Apr 2020 #13

Thanks for posting this - Ms. Toad Apr 2020 #40

Yup - more survive if hospitals aren't overrun davekriss Apr 2020 #22

Until there is a vaccine available, as I understand it, whatever cases were missed and those emmaverybo Apr 2020 #8

It will not "utterly devastate" them jberryhill Apr 2020 #16

It will devastate them economically. Yes. And they will have more deaths in parts of Africa that emmaverybo Apr 2020 #24

There is nothing to prevent it coming back Azathoth Apr 2020 #14

Multiple waves are expected. Ms. Toad Apr 2020 #15

That makes sense. Unfortunately, we don't have a president who can deliver that. Doodley Apr 2020 #25

States and private industry may step up. Ms. Toad Apr 2020 #39

We don't have a government designed for that. Igel Apr 2020 #56

Nothing... See 1918 for reference JCMach1 Apr 2020 #18

We will have waves until there is a vaccine. BigmanPigman Apr 2020 #19

Would you trust a vaccine hastily produced by this administration? Doodley Apr 2020 #26

Donald Trump is not making a vaccine jberryhill Apr 2020 #29

Of course he isn't personally making it, but he could personally choose the company that does Doodley Apr 2020 #35

Not THIS admin! BigmanPigman Apr 2020 #31

Fortunately, scientists around the world are working on a vaccine. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2020 #32

Bill Gates is funding the building of 7 labs & production facilities to research vaccines and tblue37 Apr 2020 #36

Wow! I didn't know Bill Gates was doing that. Impressive or what? Doodley Apr 2020 #37

Here's a link to an article about it. He expects to lose billions: tblue37 Apr 2020 #38

Thank you for that link. nt crickets Apr 2020 #74

Without a vaccine or fast and accurate testing, this could be a problem for a while. Flaleftist Apr 2020 #28
