"There is no vaccine for the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Scientists are working to develop one, Hilary Marston, a medical officer and policy advisor at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said in a Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health webcast on Monday (March 2). However, there will not be a vaccine for the virus in the near term.

"If everything moves as quickly as possible, *the soonest that it could possibly be is about one-and-a-half to two years. That still might be very optimistic,"* Marston said.”

Who do you believe, some Israeli newspaper or one of the top health advisers in the US. Even if a vaccine is finalized it has to go through clinical trials and FDA approvals. Can’t speed up clinical trials, it takes time to track the negative effects, and you’re not gonna vaccinate billions of healthy people and potentially harm them all.

Correct. Their one burning desire was and is to see trump go down as glorious as possible.

Just curious what you think my agenda is, as a big Trump fan, and huge Trump critic regarding COVID.

He dropped the ball big time on the coronavirus because he let his ego get in the way of reality.

It might end up costing him his presidency

It's like the boy who cried wolf. After the Dems and the media (but I repeat myself) attacking him non-stop for four years and trying to take him down with "hoax" after "hoax" I can't really blame him for not realizing that this time he should take it seriously. (assuming it turns out that all the hysteria was indeed warranted)

Not really it's just simple economics. I buy in bulk to save me from running out etc.. I happen to have a ton bc I'm single.

on the other hand if I had a family I probably would have been planning much more in advance.

My parents have a mango and avocado tree ;)
