Reading the comments from the people who seem to be well versed on vaccines in this thread gives a great sense of hopelessness haha. I feel like after reading this we are going to be dealing with social distancing and mask wearing for years and honestly, thats not the worst. I am literally missing my kids grow up because of this and I can't keep doing this for years. Something will have to change.

It's interesting to see countries all over the world who had very strict travel protocols start to relax those restrictions just as new daily cases start to spike globally. It seems a lot of countries are coming to the conclusion that complete economic destruction is a greater threat than the virus.

If the vaccines don’t work, then unfortunately the virus will just need to run its course.

The economy can’t be destroyed over a virus.

The cure can’t be worse than the disease.

I was in Vegas for a week last month. On the weekend I went to Freemont to gamble. It was packed. I went to every casino, and couldn't even get on a craps table.

My kids have been going to public school since September. Both schools have only had a few cases. Doesnt seen to be an issue with my kids schools.

The part that frustrates me, world-wide pandemic that we are close to be 1 year into, and nothing is focused on the original cause, when did it actually start, trying to take global steps from preventing (slowing) future viral spillovers, getting China to share real information with the world, how does this jump and morph from animal to human, etc. etc.?

Yes, i get that Trump withdrew from the WHO, but I'm not sure they were the answer . . . .
Our media just wants to play power political games . . . .
China just goes about it's business . . . .

Same—the schools seem to be fine, but I think the kids are some of the vessels that are fueling our community spike.

Kids eat covid for lunch, but their grandparents don’t.

The one where I don't die or anyone I care about dies or gets sick, I know selfish..

People die. Don't want you or your loved ones to die? Might I suggest a few ideas to help you live longer?

Live in California? 606,000 Americans will die from cancer this year. (everything in CA causes cancer )
https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/...32017%20deaths).

Do you smoke? 480,000 Americans die each year from smoking. 41,000 people die from second hand smoke.
https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_sta...ndhand%20smoke)

Do you drink? 95,000 Americans die each year from excessive drinking.
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6939a6.htm

Do you drive? 38,000 Americans die each year in car crashes.
https://www.asirt.org/safe-travel/ro...0aged%201%2D54.

Better sell your boat. Over 600 Americans die each year in boating accidents.

As I type this, I'm sitting at home with my family, all with covid. For the most part we feel fine. A bit tired. My wife and one daughter can't taste or smell. My two other kids are basically fine. Oddly enough, I feel as though I have a BAD sunburn on my back and chest. Wearing a shirt or showering hurts. Statistically we are right in line with the virus. We obviously didn't choose to get sick. While, we did not choose to stay home and hide from covid, we were "careful", but not overly careful in our activities while in public. We missed out on two vacations this year to Alaska and Hawaii because of shutdowns, but still made two trips to Powell, a week in Huntington Beach, and a couple other smaller trips. Overall we've had a good 2020. And statistically we should have.
I know we are not immune from this. We can and likely will get covid again, probably next year. Am I selling our boat, cars, toys, living our lives in fear of death? No. Should we just disregard covid? No. It's real. My totally awesome backyard neighbor died last Tuesday from covid. That's as close as death has come to us. No doubt others on here have had closer deaths. It stinks. We push on. We make the best of it. We have to.

Actually....the majority of grandparents do. "High Risk" is a little deceiving. It means your at a higher risk than everyone else. It doesnt mean the majority die, or are even hospitalized. The majority of people 85+ arent event hospitalized. Last I checked, they were 500 out of 100k for hospitalization. My Dad is 70 and just got over Covid. He is over weight, and had a heart attack last year, so we were a little concerned, but he was fortunate enough to have no issues with it. The crazy thing is, my Mom who is late 60s, took care of him the whole time. She never contracted it. or at least never had any symptoms. Were trying to get her to get the antibody test, but so far she hasnt.

Curious......are “They” counting seasonal flu cases separately from covid or counting both of them as Covid?

that's a rhetorical questions imo. there's way too much mis-information and mis-diagnosis out there to really establish a clear picture of hospitalizations and deaths related to this and lots more that get sick, get better and never get tested so did they have covid or flu? or pneumonia? or bronchitis?
