Was reading this post and was absolutely terrified. It's gonna be bad.

Take away is that current lock downs are basically useless against the new strain as it has mutated enough to be more transmissible thru/around mask. Vaccines are still likely to work, and its not more deadly (seems like), but just going to blow thru our preventive measures like nothing.

Reposting because the first post didn't get enough traction and I need people to commiserate with me. Pulled out the money shot image, because I know libs don't read .

    But I do think that best-case scenario, we’re going to be in this until the end of 2021 maybe slightly into 2022.

    Note that the much less fussy Astra Zeneca isn’t expected to be approved until April.

      I work on software related to Covid and folks at the public health organization I am working alongside do not expect 2021 to look any different to 2020. It’s going to be really interesting seeing liberals justify nothing changing after months of a Biden admin with control of Congress

        Honestly, what could possibly be different in 2021? Even with Biden being a "competent leader", There is no talk of doing anything of the scale required
