(11,655 posts)I wish I was more optimistic about there ever being a vaccine. Someone posted here a couple of days ago that there are no vaccines for SARS or MERS or other viruses of this type. Of course, those are under control and not nearly as contagious so there is less urgency and fewer researchers working on them. Ive resigned myself to this mode of life for the rest of my life. But Im privileged to be able to consider that. I have no debts and sufficient resources. Ill be 70 in two weeks and have stable (I hope) retirement income. As long as I live until November so I can help vote out the crime family. I miss hugging my daughter and other family members. My bicycle and my garden are keeping me sane. I expect to eventually be infected. My affairs in order and my will is up to date. Ive written down detailed information on all accounts for my daughter. My advanced directive and durable power of attorney are stuck on my refrigerator. I plan to use a sharpie and write DNR and DNI on my chest as Im waiting for the ambulance.
