Compare that to Bill Gates' "optimistic" projection that we'll have a vaccine and get the virus under control that way by the end of 2021 You hear that everyone? Q4 2021, everything will be okay, mark your calendars 12-15 more fucking months of this shit

All the fucking assholes bleating about how expensive lockdown and containment was It's expensive and it's hard and it was THE ONLY POSSIBLE CHOICE
