We aren't a vector but the most likely victim, putting additional burdens on the health care system.

Enjoy home time. If the sun is shining go for a walk, wave at your neighbor......sing do whatever makes you happy and stay away from public places where folks can make you sick.

I know..the Spring Break partiers that don't care about the virus.
That's exactly what is going on in Florida right now..the "I don't care about that virus" party crowd.

Whatever happened to the good old days when everyone had a 3" thick phone book lying around?
Walmart put a pallet out yesterday and according to the store associate, they took them right off the pallet and it never landed on the shelf. Who thinks a quantity limit should be in order here?

You can do take out or drive through but can't dine in.
The govs are probably all lined up now to do this one at a time every day or so. Just my guess.

That's actually extremely fast, and if they do get a vaccine available early next year, that will be the fastest ever creating a new vaccine from start to finish. Most new vaccines take 5 to 10 years or longer, from beginning to end.

The big unknown is if any of these 10+ coronavirus vaccine candidates will even work, they never did get a vaccine to work for SARS or MERS, also coronaviruses, after trying for like 5 years, most researchers just gave up. This will be the first coronavirus vaccine for humans if they succeed, let's hope they do!
