And I’m like “who the hell are all these idiots that think we’ll be back to normal by sometime next year?”

That MIGHT have been possible (to an extent at least) if Trump hadn’t flushed everything down the toilet from the beginning, but not now.

The original vaccine estimates from back in Feb/Mar when this thing was JUST starting were 12-18 months. That means March 2021 at the EARLIEST and most likely not until Summer 2021.

And also, what about distribution?? Just because a vaccine is proven effective doesn’t mean there’s a billion doses ready to go and even if there is, there are plenty of tough ass logistics to straighten out to GET THOSE DOSES TO THE PEOPLE. Add probably another month for the vaccine to take effect until we can officially make the call of “okay, we’re good now.”
