Its time...

Scheduling lockdowns a few days in advance makes sense to me. If they popped up on the news and announced a lockdown to start with immediate effect there'd be chaos. They'd be accused of making knee jerk reactions and not giving people time to prepare. There'd be carnage in the supermarkets etc. Scheduling is a more measured approach, which is what every decision should be ideally

It allows the youth of today to go out on one last bender.

Youth? Plenty of adults the same mind.

The youngsters / students are an easy target for todays "adults".

Fair point. I should have dressed it up as those lacking in a little bit of common sense.

So Mr Professor you do agree then that there are plenty of diseases out there where vaccines have not been found and my point is simply when someone states a vaccine will be found for Covid, they are simply speculating, hopefully they will find one, but it is quite possible they will not, or maybe we may have to wait years until they do, who knows.

No. There are vaccines for other coronaviruses just in chickens and pigs. Both similar to Covid in terms of disease. SARS and MERS were not widespread enough for huge investment . As I will say for the third time with the exception of HIV, although it’s nature of attacking Th cells does not help vaccines, major diseases without vaccines tend to be parasites with complex life cycles and more variation.

Just a few deceases without a worthwhile vaccine be it viral or not, just to prove my point of there not being a guarantee of a vaccine being found in the near future or even at all for Covid affecting us humans,
Lyme, Hepatitis C , Nipas, Lassa, Syncytial Virus, Zika and so many others the so called vaccines for Malaria and Tuberculosis do not even offer any lasting protection and even the Flu Vaccine fails to work in so many, they can not at the end of the day even sort out the common cold, then we could go into stuff like Cancer yes there making advances but the facts are even in todays day and age they can not find ways to get on top of so many types of the disease, so again for the third time my point is lets stop the speculative talk of we Will find a vaccine, we may or very well may not, lets just hope for the best.
