The vaccine IS coming but how is that going to solve the problem in the next 60 days? Springtime will be better but this will be the winter from hell and a few hundred thousand more will die.

The vaccine IS coming, and there will be multiple versions from multiple suppliers. Yes, it's a tough time in the Northern Hemisphere as temperatures drop and the daily new cases increase. But the light at the end of the tunnel is finally here.
I am somewhat bewildered because some of you almost sound like you don't want there to be a vaccine or you are against a vaccine.

Optimism in all honors - but it's more of that:
"Pfizer's announcement on Monday that initial results show its vaccine is 90% effective, though much remains unknown about its safety, durability, and the severity of illness it prevents." - [www.BusinessInsider.com] .
Look at the fine print when you buy a bottle of Tylenol. It lists all of the horror stories that can happen to you when you take it.

World-wide probably millions will die between now and springtime. And I assume millions will die from the regular flu. And probably millions will die in car accidents. And some people may die from the vaccination itself, but that number will be extremely low.
There is a bright side. Assume the vaccine will be distributed to older people fist. So if you are 60 or older, chances are you will have been vaccinated by the end of February and at least the nightmare will be over for you. Assume by the end of May, more than 50% of the world population will have been vaccinated. In industrialized countries, that number may be 90%.

Milehigh still seems to think Covid is the flu. Until he gets it he isn't going to change his tune.
1. It is not like the flu.
2. People of all ages get it and DIE from it.
3. Preliminary results for the vaccine are promising but until BILLIONS of people are vaccinated things will not really change.
4. There is no idea how long vaccine immunity lasts.
5. The winter will be bad regardless of whether there is a vaccine.

I’m still waiting to hear how long a vaccine will protect against the virus. If annual boosters are needed - maybe even 2 jabs per year - that would complicate the manufacture and delivery of the vaccine. We’re imagining this as being delivered and done in one year. If we have to do this annually ... yikes. Any info on how long the 2 emerging vaccines will be effective?

Canada is melting.

From the video above, Canada is working on an end-to-end logistics system. They have already purchased refrigerators and freezers to house 313 million doses of vaccine.
It's just wonderful what people can do when they work together towards a common goal.
