Don't you think it's pretty weird and sketchy that all countries are making
the same mistake, considering there have been numerous pandemic preparedness events in the past few years? Take a look over a little list of some of the pandemic preparedness the US has had in the recent years:
... and the list can continue. They all have the needed experts and scientists to take the needed steps and measures at the right time. The pandemic could've been prevented
if they wanted to. If we, the citizens see there is a problem, I doubt the officials don't.
Regarding the vaccine, IIRC, Bill Gates said in a documentary (from the Explain series on Netflix) that obtaining a vaccine and giving it to the population in
10-12 months would be a world record. Hence, I don't have much of a hope that it's going to happen.
