Clearly it was never about the virus and all about who was in office.
I may have mentioned this earlier, but your chance of exposure on an airplane is extremely minimal because of how often new air is circulated into the cabin and old air is flushed.

True, wife is a AA flight attendant, forced air circulation and updated filters. She has been flying a full schedule during the Corona...no issues.

With this new data on air circulation on Jets.....I have that much more respect for the level of commitment those Burning it down and passing out on the early flights out of Las Vegas have when you smell their farts all the way to RDU.....

I’ll never be able to articulate this the way the scientist did that I just listen to, but doing the shut down thing only slows the spreading of the virus, it does not kill it.
At the end of the day, we are trying to outsmart nature. Simon says, that never works.

I forget his name off the top of my head, but I remember the one epidemiologist on Rogan months ago saying (paraphrasing here) "A two week or so lockdown could kill this, if you managed 100% compliance, which is a Herculean task to get people to do."
Bret Weinstein was his name.

I mean, the Chinese could have killed this if they didn't lie to the world about it. But they did and then they did tons of shit to their own people while the rest of world fought COVID. Not that I think the West would have done a damn thing for the people of Hong Kong or the Uyghurs. Suffice to say, their response to SARS-COV-1 in which they also lied about, was much more rapid than this.

ETA: I'm struggling with the idea of this SARS-COV-2 vaccine being 90% effective, which is 30 points more effective than the flu vaccine.
Pfizer says early analysis shows its Covid-19 vaccine is more than 90% effective

With the way things are going here, something similar could be about to happen in New York. I heard this morning that we're at the highest infection rate since June.

@Salamie3 has the right of it, I think it was when Weinstein was talking about New Zealand's success in being able to do just that due to having much fewer people.
He's a biologist, though - you might have been confusing him with Michael Osterholm who, as it turns out, was just named to President-Elect Biden's Covid-19 Advisory Board.

It was Osterholm and you can dig through this thread as people have varied opinions of him.

So we get a vaccine on the market in rapid time...but because it's going to be available under the Trump Administration it's "too early"? Why does everything have to be political?

Osterholm was indeed repeatedly referenced in this thread, but what @Cookie_ is talking about is correctly attributed to Weinstein.
The main takeaway from Osterholm's interview on Rogan was that "people don't realize this is going to last for at least several months". That was near the beginning of the shutdowns IIRC.
Weinstein was sometime in the summer, and he was the one saying that if the US had done a complete instead of half-assed shutdown for a few weeks that it could have been eradicated like in New Zealand but that it wasn't nearly as easy to do so.

So, how about this guy (posted earlier in this thread):
Opinion | Is Our Fight Against Coronavirus Worse Than the Disease?
Dr. David Katz: Coronavirus vaccine or herd immunity are only ways life can fully return to normal
Looking back, was this guy wrong? I don't think so. He's not perfect but he's probably been the most "right" of the "experts" I've heard.
