When will things return to normal?
Bloomberg reports here: (paywall)
- The numbers should start going down by mid-February — first cases, then hospitalizations, then deaths.
- By early June numbers should be very small.
- As the vaccine number rise, it’s likely to have a greater-than-linear effect on cases and deaths, for a multiple reasons.
- Hence, things start to get better from Valentine’s Day with the problem largely gone by June.
WSJ reports here (paywall):
- Return to "almost normal" will happen sooner than people think.
- We do not need to reach herd immunity before public spaces can begin phased reopenings.
- If the vaccine reaches nursing homes and hospital workers quickly, a scenario where hospitalization and death rates plunge seems realistic.
- Markedly better days likely to arrive by the spring.
It’s a nice thought , fingers crossed
. My concern is ( due to my work dealing with the public) are ill informed anti vaxxers. I seem to come across more people who don’t want to take it than do want to take it, i find it worrying :rolleyes:
It’s frustrating listening to the bolloxogy from then i literally have to bite my lip to say nothing.0 -

Hopefully they'll find themselves restricted and then forced to pay for the vaccine later0 -

I wish I could find where I read it, but there was a psychological report about the problem of anti-vaxxers. What it stated that there will always be a hardcore group of denialists that will simply not get the vaccine lest it make their dick fall off or whatever. But anti-vaxxers are not a binary group. Many will change their tune once the vaccine rolls out and their worst fears are not realised. Some will change their tune out of fear of being left behind or pier pressure. So what may seem like a large group of anti-vaxxers now will gradually diminish. I’m not trying to downplay the problem of anti-vaccination propaganda. But the numbers of real world non-vaccinated people will always seem greater when it’s just a question of whether or not to get the vaccine against actually getting the vaccine.0 -

That's one thing they also tackled in Israel. Big campaign about vaccination to address anti vax. Also had Facebook remove some anti vax groups0 -
