A dramatic increase in COVID-19 infection rates across the country has confirmed a grim reality: the United States is entering a new resurgence of the pandemic. #coronavirus #COVID19 #pandemic

    Sometimes it almost feels like the vaccines are so slow that they will be available to the general public after the pandemic is over (i.e., pointless by then).

    But then again, some Americans and Brits keep defying protocols and common sense (in the name of their vain individual liberties), causing nth waves of resurgences that spread around to other nations. Since their irresponsibility would extend the pandemic by years, the vaccine would probably arrive just in time, even if years away.

    I’m not anti-vax of course, but still, I don’t think I’ll enjoy the side effects of these vaccines, which I understand to be flu-like themselves, just milder and quicker.

      Even with a vaccine it just seems like it’ll keep coming in waves. This isn’t a polio situation where everyone would vaccinate willingly, I think they polled and showed only 3/4 people would willingly vaccinate.
