A friend of mine told me that even a vaccine won't be very helpful, since the virus is likely to mutate and render such a vaccine useless. We will be socially distancing for many years to come.

Then they'e got to figure something else out because there is no point in living longer if you make everyone miserable. There's no point in living to be eighty if you're just going to spend your whole life alone in a room with your only link to the outside world being a screen.

If I was offered a choice of living a full life and living to be 70 vs eternal social distancing and living to be 80 I'd take the first choice and so would any sane person.

Washington State's latest update has only 89 new cases over 24 hours. That's down from over 600 per day at our peak.



89 cases per day is fine for reopening the economy and schools. The west coast pact should release the measures on Washington and see how things go.

Yeah, that seems pretty good. Unless someone thinks we've all got to stay locked up in our houses until there is absolutely no coronavirus anywhere on the globe. Which would not really be realistic.
