Mathematically it makes sense, but the problem with math is that people are involved.  That's not always a bad thing.

My mother, who is in lockdown at a senior home counts the same as my daughter.  Let's say my daughter is currently working in a restaurant, teaching school, going to bars...hates masks and distance... you know, let's assume she lives in Florida or the Dakota's.

There is no comparison of the impact vaccination would have on those two individuals.

What I believe you'll see if the virus persists are mandatory vaccination requirements for participation in some things.  Sports, Concerts, theaters, cruise lines...it's a really tricky balance, but if we can't shake the virus and there are pockets that continue to incubate the virus, my guess is the majority (which you need or this is all a waste of time discussing) will drive protocols.  Hopefully, we never find out what "would have happened" if we don't get the herd immunity.

Going through Rite Aid's earnings call this week, comment from their CEO:

"And we anticipate there's going to be a COVID vaccine forever probably because if not this mutation, possibly more mutations. So we look at this as both a short-term opportunity to help the country but a longer-term opportunity for Rite Aid."
Here is a sobering thought. If flu typically kills 50,000 per year in the U.S. even with vaccines, and if Covid-19 is 4 to 10 times more deadly than flu, then we might expect 200,000 to 500,000 deaths per year even with these new vaccines.  People talk about how this disease might become endemic but I haven't seen anyone spell out what it really means: Social distancing forever. Get used to it.

Did you get tested for the C-19 virus?  Those could be flu symptoms.
 
There was no testing at the time. First opportunity for testing was about a month and a half later. I had no problem then, nor would it have likely picked it up.

It's possible, but I can't remember ever getting colds/flu and getting that sick. As my wife remarked, first time she saw me sick in 20 years.
 
I have had flu symptoms like that.   After moving to Burnaby in Greater Vancouver  from Ottawa in the mid-1990s.   Brutal.  A couple of bad winters later and I was fine and have only had the flu once or twice since then.
 
Flu usually gets you quicker, in a day or two, after exposure. My symptoms started roughly a week after a visit. Whatever it was, no one else in the house got it from me.

that is similar to the experience my brother had...slept pretty much 3 days straight.

 
Note that my friend the county health officer called me and warned me NOT to sleep all day. "Get plenty of sleep" is different from "Lie in a pool of sweat for 48-72 hours" ... he said people who do that run a greater risk of getting the fluid buildup/respiratory issues, where people who power through at least some of the day standing up tend to avoid those complications.

great two-4-1 interview (fairly short but very informative)

Understanding mRNA. Conversations with Moderna and Arcturus Therapeutics

Get ready for two insightful interviews about mRNA, an innovative technology that is revolutionizing vaccines and may help in the current global pandemic. We ask two of the leaders in the space: What is the future for mRNA?

Well, there is already a free "sleeping machine" in wide circulation. 

It is called exercise.

I should have super powers then.  Pre pandemic I have traditionally slept between 9-10 hours a night.  Since working from home it is probably averaging about 11-12.  That may be too much, but it is legitimate sleep could be the melatonin which I have been faithfully taking due to studies showing it also helps prevent covid. I am a sleeping machine.

Same. Incredible fatigue, non-stop cough, and it took a couple weeks to be gone.

The Mysterious Link Between COVID-19 and Sleep

The coronavirus can cause insomnia and long-term changes in our nervous systems. But sleep could also be a key to ending the pandemic.
