    Meaning that confinement will have to be on and off indefinitely. Perhaps until 2022. Social distancing is gonna be the new norm going forward, given that it’s clearer and clearer everyday that this virus is so difficult to immunize against

    Some form of social distancing != confinement or lockdown

    Every scientist in the field is probably working day and night on a vaccine or at least some form of treatment. I’m confident in our ability to handle this

    I’m literally not? This is from the guardian article that I just shared

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/18/dont-bet-on-vaccine-to-protect-us-from-covid-19-says-world-health-expert

    Literally non of what you said was said in that article
    “For the foreseeable future we may have to lie and adapt accordingly to the virus. That means isolating those who show signs of the disease and also their contacts. Older people will have to be protected. In addition hospital capacity for dealing with cases will have to be ensured. That is going to be the new normal for us all.” Nowher does he say what you suggested

    True, but I make the distinction in my post. On and off triggers for confinement is on the agenda for many countries after the first outbreak: Germany, France, UK... etc.

    Thats what the models by Neil Ferguson suggest

    In the article he said that a SAFE and TESTED vaccine is less likely to be developed in the foreseeable future. That’s 18 months thrown out. And he said that we will have to adapt to the virus, meaning that social distancing and lockdowns will be the norm since we have no other option to deal with outbreaks

    Where did you get 18 months from?

    We’ll see I guess. While the conservatives protesting rn are dumb af, it is true that these lockdowns have huge economic effect (and likely lives lost as a repercussion). If we can effectively pull off some kind of testing, tracing, and active containment program, I could see a new “normal” with social distancing baked in not be too bad. Like how parts of China are atm

    WHO suggested that a vaccine under the right conditions will be developed in 18 months. Ever since last week, they reconsidèred their position about the whole thing. Why? Vaccines require long time for testing; lots of scientists are against accelerating the process, because safety assurance requires long studies. WHO also realises that for a vaccine to work, you will have to vaccinate globally. A global mass production of something like a vaccine is something unprecedented in modern history and will require immense power. This is unlikely with the the United States being a derelict

    About your second point, it’s Neil Ferguson who said that future outbreaks will force us to go on lockdowns again and again. We will have to see what happens in Germany in the next few weeks to assess the situation
