Anyway, I think we'll have a vaccine... at some point. Three months? Seems a little soon. As someone not in the high risk factor and someone who thinks he's already had it, I doubt I'll try it. But I wouldn't blame people who are at a high risk. To me, just seems like a really short period for clinical trials and long-term problems. I mean, watch any drug commercial and to cure you itchy skin or dry mouth, you end up with heart disease, infertility, exploding toe nails, expanding anus syndrome, hair loss, acne, caustic ear wax, etc.

That sentence alone has me second-guessing getting it lol.

Three months seems soon but that's when they're saying.  

I don't know.....  I might wait until my schools get back and, if they're full go after Christmas and I start getting requests, I'll probably get it because I'm going nuts stuck inside and not presenting (I did just get new equipment, though, and I'm presenting remotely to classes from Saint Ursula in Cincinnati on Wednesday).
