Tell me OB do you think a vaccine is suddenly appear overnight because the clear fact is we are just at the start of the road to to a vaccine and that road is hard and long with many bumps along that road.

Of course all of us want a vaccine but social distancing is likely to be needed in some form for for a long time to come whether one likes it or not.
