What should happen after the vaccine is released?

@altair1013

Because some people decide to risk it is no reason to lock down everyone.

And I’m all on board with that.

@DMK

How long will you be protected? That’s still a question mark.

It is. The jury is still out. It may take a booster or two. I hope not.

But your concept is good. Once everyone has the opportunity to be fully vaccinated going back to business as usual would we wise.

The key word is opportunity. We can’t force people to get it. Because some people decide to risk it is no reason to lock down everyone.

So does that mean you are now backing off on your two week timeline before going back to business as usual 100%?

Right. Make the vaccine available, allow a reasonable time for people to get vaccinated and open up. Once I get the shot, I’m protected. End the lock down.

How long will you be protected? That’s still a question mark.

We can’t keep the economy shut down. People are going to have to get back out and get on with life and living.

The indications with the vaccine that the government just signed a contract to begin manufacture, it will take two initial shots (like the new Shingles vaccination is) plus an periodic booster shot to maintain immunity.

No. The two week thing was random. I’m guessing everyone in Ohio could have a chance in a two week period. Maybe it’s actually ten days or three weeks. We need to hear from the governor. I want to see his plan so we know what to expect. But. When the vaccine becomes wildly available, stop the heavy handed stuff. Let people decide what is safe for them.

You understand that it will take much longer than 2 weeks to produce 350 million doses, right?

Need a bigger bath tub.

[RayStark]

The two week scenario promotes a best-wished for positive atmosphere imo.

Unfortinately ypur pov is probably more realistic. Things are so weird for me these days.

Not exactly. I don’t set policy. The key words are actually bolded below.

[Grimalken]

I might agree with that, since 99.99% of healthy children and young adults may be a whole lot better off catching the disease and getting an immunity that way. These antidotes have a risk factor too.

May I remind you of your initial statement?

@altair1013

You could put in a buffer of maybe two weeks after it becomes available. To allow everyone an opportunity. I would be fine with that.

@Samm

Granted. Thanks for asking. Not everyone in this forum is so polite.

Right now, in Ohio we have no idea what the government goals are. They won’t say. I find that to be disturbing.

Assuming there is a vaccine it should go to the most at risk including the elderly as well as healthcare workers. I am not as confident as others we will see a vaccine.

@altair1013

I vote we totally ditch the new normal and go directly back to the old normal. Instantly. Make people 100 percent responsible for their own health. Get the vaccine if they choose, or take their chances. Open everything 100 percent to pre Covid levels. When we approach the release date, governments need to get ahead of this and lay out the plan. Personally, I like my plan. How about you?

We can open everything 100%, but will people feel safe participating? People’s comfort will be the key.

Sorry for your luck.

I’ll take my advice about a harmful virus and a vaccine from real doctors and not an anonymous poster on the internet.

@Adam

Would the vaccine be available to the entire country so all people could receive it if they chose? Or if there are delays and people are waiting for it, do we still open everything up because those losers are too slow?

You could put in a buffer of maybe two weeks after it becomes available. To allow everyone an opportunity. I would be fine with that.

And of course there would be people to make sure that everyone in the country had a chance to get vaccinated. Almost like a census.

If it’s mandatory maybe…

It already exists. Scheduled to start filling batches in October barring any further delays. Are you thinking it won’t get FDA approval?

[Axxowiz]

We don’t know how effective it is or how long it lasts from what I’m hearing it’s basically at best like a flu shot. Unless I read it wrong it none of the three manufactures in the third phase are saying the vaccine makes you immune from Covid-19 but either cuts the risk of catching it and maybe the severity.

I could be wrong hope I am.
