Coronavirus Predictions And Forecast Thread. What Do You Predict Will Happen? - Page 43 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I might as well go ahead and make the prediction that this is something we might have to deal with for years to come. Corona lingers around long enough to take detours though all kinds of animals, creating vaccine resistant variants in the process: Mink Corona, Cat Corona, Pig Corona, Parrot Corona... It's like Corona Bingo.

In the future, cutting your own hair will be a mark of a pandemic survivor.

There are some studies now that believe that the virus does best within a specific temperature span. This matches with the observed behaviour of these types of viruses being seasonal in their overall impact.

Because of the natural seasonality of the virus and lockdown efforts, the number of cases will diminish in the northern hemisphere over the next few months.

Governments will declare success and talk about how they have "beaten the virus." People will drop their guard and relax and think the world has gone back to normal.

Starting in October the virus will start to come back and then the real freakout will begin. Many, many more people will die. Winter of 2020 - 2021 will be a disaster, but at least the virus will burn through enough of the population to prevent future serious outbreaks. Life will go on but it will take years to recover globally.

Scenario 2:

The virus mutates to a less virulent strain soon and by summer it won't be a big deal again.

My predictions from March 2020

It looks like both are true:

- Huge spike

- Virus not as viralent (5.8% CFR March-May 2020 vs 1.1% CFR Sept - Dec 2020 (USA numbers))

Who could have predicted that a cold virus would have a resurgence during cold and flu season????? Shocking!!

I'll have to make another prediction later this month.

no vaccine coming soon as phizer sold it out to england and over seas. blames trump for not ordering enough but you can bet they are getting much more from selling it elsewhere.

just like 3 m did with it distributors selling all the masks over seas to the higher bidders. thats capitalism. people are all for it until it affects them.

No, Trump indeed passed on a chance to order more vaccine from Pfizer.

Passing on a chance to order more than the initial 100,000,000 doses and not getting any aren't remotely the same thing.

But the Moderna vaccine is very similar to Pfizer, seems just as effective, and is only a week behind in the approval process. And I believe Moderna is more committed to prioritizing US supply because of the funding they got from Operation Warp Speed.

i should have said no vaccine coming past the initial doses soon. as i meant vaccine for the masses of us. the initial doses will go to the special people the govt. thinks deserve it the most. and maybe they do.
lets see if the politicians get in on those.

There will be enough supply for the US since most people aren't going to take it.

My sister is already being brainwashed by her church friends not to get it because Bill Gates has put microchips in them.

Did anyone ITT predict that a ton of people in the US won't take it?

In hindsight, that seems likes a no brainer given the current state of this country.

i didnt know they were placing micro chips in the vaccine. i suppose they go into your brain and communicate with the contrails the jets are sending out and down upon us.

the trick is then to get the shot in the opposite arm then the chips will be upside down and they wont be able to read them.
