I think it supports the article I posted but it's in nerdy doctor language

It's a link to the study, pdf file at the bottom.  No, most of it I don't understand.  What I did get is that it's specific to SARS-COV-2.  It's only been tested on mouse and hamsters so far.  But it's been peer reviewed and looks promising.

It's well past time to open up back to normal.

There were no new deaths reported in Orange County on Monday, keeping the death total to 1,093. The data on deaths in the county is compiled from death certificates or gathered through the course of case investigations and can take weeks to process, officials say. The most recent deaths were on Sept. 6.

Of the 1,069 deaths countywide, 413 were skilled nursing facility residents, 75 were in assisted living facilities and one was listed as homeless.

Hey Larry, have you considered why the death totals are so low?

Yes I have.

The whole point was to flatten the curve. Did you forget that?

Actually the whole point was to make sure as few people die from this as possible.

Opening up everything like this shit doesn't exist is not going to help. The deaths will spike right back up.

That's not what we were told. I don't think you understand the severity of the impact this is having on the economy. People die everyday. It's a sad fact of life.

This is the Republican party summed up in one post.

This is the equivalent of a person going on a diet and losing weight, and then saying, "Why did I need to go on a diet? I lost weight! Time for me to go back to my prior eating habits."

I agree we cannot keep everything closed down. But there's a middle ground. States are slowly opening things up and requiring masks. States governed by Republicans are doing this too (just look at Massachusetts).

The economy is important, but so are people's lives and health.

I feel like I've said that 20 times since June.

This is what my sister told me about it.

 Biden said he’ll listen to the experts and Fauci just said that we can’t get back to normal until late 2021. That‘s awesome.

I don't like Fauci. But I'll trust his words over Trump or Biden.

Does anyone expect everything to be back to normal before 2021? I think what Fauci means is that there will still be some restrictions and recommendations, even after the vaccine is released. But I suspect more and more things will open up as time goes on, it just won't be 100% "normal" until late 2021.

His advice is not sustainable and our country would collapse if it was followed in full. Obviously, there has to be a balance

I don't agree at all. His advice is better than anyone elses we've had.

I expect things to begin to normalize on November 4th.

Depending on election outcome, not until January since the sitting president would get all of the credit.

I'm perfectly fine with Trump getting the credit for the vaccine during his lame duck period.
