• I’m not suggesting that will be the outcome, just that it’s possible a vaccine could have a negative outcome. It was to counter what seemed to be positive speculation on your part.

    My point was more that, after preventing people from getting it which seems extremely difficult with drastic measures, remaining under the capacity to treat is perhaps the most important factor.
    Seemingly there is much more capacity available so my question is why do we not ease the lockdown. This will lead to deaths, but to say this is immoral misses the complexity to which you allude.

    So vaccine aside the world is far better at mitigating C19 now than it was two months ago. For instance how to arrange space and resource, numbers of patients needing x equipment and how to best use staff and rest patients. These are just a few examples. There is also work using existing and new anti-virals.

  • Maybe I’m jumping ahead here, but are you saying outcomes are already improving for those Hosptialised?
    I only recall one hospital struggling with capacity so far. Not heard anything too promising on improved treatments either.
