BC had a new 1 day record, and there's a press conference scheduled for tomorrow at 1pm which hasn't happened since the last peak in March. We're in trouble now as we head into fall and winter

The problem with that is you can't do something like that without providing stimulus.. which is another obstacle  | ||

December?Biden might need to shut it down in December, therapeutics won't be ready to deal with the rising case count and he has to do something about the exponential growth. I don't think social distancing and masks are gonna work to reduce the case count in the US. Hospitals only have so much room. The problem with that is you can't do something like that without providing stimulus.. which is another obstacle Biden won't be President until Jan 20th. Unless Trump has a sudden massive change of heart nothing is going to happen until then. | ||

Biden on COVID, apparently his former CDC health advisor suggested following Ireland's COVID guidelines: ![[image loading]](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/456245193885220876/774497970417565697/image.png) | ||

Now they still have about the same: 86,184 Link: https://bing.com/covid/local/chinamainland They can't hide dead people without being noticed, but how could this be? Same as Taiwan, Japan, SK, Vietnam etc. Population level acceptance of all mitigation measures, full adoption of masks, cultural willingness to sacrifice personal lives for collective good. | ||

That said, all the evidence shows that once China did start taking it seriously, they got it under control in record time. Here and there you hear about new outbreaks in China, which are quickly met with some very aggressive measures to bring it under control. Turns out that locking people down by posting soldiers in key gathering points and locking down all forms of transportation is far more effective than merely hoping that people will obey the rules. | ||

They could have lots of problem areas without telling anyone, and we'd never know because of the Chinese firewall. I'll never believe the news out of China until the CCP goes under. Sure they could. it's not particularly in China's interest to have Covid running rampant across the country either though. | ||

Fair, but given the extent to which it is controlled in every neighboring country and how ruthlessly effective China was at eradicating it in February, id be tempted to believe it. Deaths can be off by an order of magnitude for all that it matters now. Their reporting over the last 6 months is likely accurate. It's very much a disease which can be controlled with social obedience. | ||

Like X new infections per thousand people for stage Y in an area or something. | ||

They say safety data is still being gathered until end of next week but this seems like brilliant news. Production capacity expected to be 50M this year and 1.3Bn next year. https://investors.pfizer.com/investor-news/press-release-details/2020/Pfizer-and-BioNTech-Announce-Vaccine-Candidate-Against-COVID-19-Achieved-Success-in-First-Interim-Analysis-from-Phase-3-Study/default.aspx | ||
