5. They're saying 6.

But getting back to the point, "Several months" means three or more. So it's irrelevant to them, because it can also mean 6. If we start following Biden's plan, we should see results in a month.

I'll bet he meant 6 weeks? In 6 months even w/o vaccine 100% masks and distancing help a lot. Pobeka Jan 2021 #3

I know why they're hanging their hat on "months" Baitball Blogger Jan 2021 #9

I'm guessing he's mostly talking about people who have already been infected but Mike 03 Jan 2021 #4

Again, then we should start seeing results in a month, shouldn't we? Baitball Blogger Jan 2021 #7

I'm thinking more like six to eight weeks. Mike 03 Jan 2021 #12

Dear Goddess. How many people will be vaccinated in a month? We are seeing, according to niyad Jan 2021 #39

I really think seeing improvements over months is more realistic than just weeks Hav Jan 2021 #40

Right. If w look back at May and June, we were seeing an 8 week period to change LizBeth Jan 2021 #44

I see "several". Where are you seeing 6? marmar Jan 2021 #10

One of the Facebook posts mentioned 6 months. Baitball Blogger Jan 2021 #14

I suspect will will start to see results in a couple of months. marmar Jan 2021 #17

A couple of months means two months. Several months means three or more. stopbush Jan 2021 #24

I don't think most people adhere to the literal definition of several when speaking. marmar Jan 2021 #37

No. It means more than two. stopbush Jan 2021 #25
