I saw the scientist from Oxford on a news show this morning and online news saying this vaccine is showing better than expected results.

Fauci and domestic medical experts are all saying there will be a vaccine, it will probably not be by the fall as politicians are stating, but early 2021 is realistic.
Downside, it will be at least five years to collect the data on side effects.
Another National Record. 78000+. WTF? I rarely see anyone without mask and it's still going crazy
Friday night and young people were dressed to paint the town red when I stopped by the store last night for some solo self quarantine beer.
trump is a bitch and his followers can suck dick. If you wanna follow a racist so be it, it only makes you a racist. Who will step up??? We all know you ain't gonna do shit, especially when I'm up
I don't care about homos, you guys are cool... Now you and the blow jobs can cut it down a bit
Joe Biden is on record with multiple racist comments. "You ain't black if you vote for Trump." He also once said Obama was the first African American who is articulate and bright and clean. He said that poor people are as bright as white people. He said you cant go into a 7 Eleven without an Indian accent.
The Democratic playbook is to call someone a racist until it sticks. They also want to make Republicans look stupid. Trump is an idiot, W was an idiot, Bush Sr couldn't put together a sentence.
But look how they treat their own. On every talk show. Netflix deal for Obama. HULU deal for Hillary.
Well, we're doing our best to catch up.
So Belgium was hard hit. In April. It's July. Yesterday, there were exactly 5 deaths reported. It's the 22nd most densely populated country in the world (the US is 145th), so it's going to be more vulnerable to a contagious disease. But they're on the other side of this. We're no where close. That's why people are pissed.

Ventilators are the ‘life support’ for Covid patients, but El Pasoans using them face grim future

EL PASO, Texas -- "It's life and death," said Dr. Asad Omar with Las Palmas Medical Center.
"Ventilators work by us putting a tube down the mouth into the main airway to be able to get oxygen into the lungs," Omar said.
"In the simpler of terms, it is giving someone life support," he continued.
In the last five months if a patient gets on the machine, they will more than
likely not come off, according to the doctor.
"When Covid gets bad enough to the point where we have to put the person on the breathing machine, the chances of them surviving or unfortunately in this case passing away in this case are 80 to 90 percent in this case,"
Omar said.
He said the medical team at Las Palmas doesn't want to take that
statistical chance against the machine.
"The numbers are not what we are going with," Omar said when asked if there was a certain oxygen level the patient had to hit before being placed on the ventilator. "We give every patient a chance to see if they can do OK
without being on a ventilator even if their numbers are lower than we
expect.”
“If the the breathing gets to the point where you cannot sustain
your own breathing and we are at a point where either we put you on a
ventilator or the levels are so low or the breathing is so hard you cannot
maintain it, then we have to do it to sustain life,” he added.
But there is no guarantee you will survive.
"Even if you come out of it, it's a long recovery process after it," he
said. "The disease is so not forgiving. The ventilators days are long. You
become extremely weak and debilitating after being on it for days and days.”
Omar said it's best to avoid the ventilator by prevention. He
recommends distancing, wearing gloves and masks. He said the sacrifice will be worth it.

Man, I don’t want to make it sound like I know anything anybody doesn’t already know but I’d say social distance as much as possible, hang out outside if you’re gonna hang with people, wear a mask (even if it’s ONLY 15-20% effective in limiting spread), and wash your hands religiously. Aside from that, I wish there was more scientists could tell us about how to avoid this virus too. Sorry if I’m preaching to the choir.
