RE: What is your staking strategy for steem?
Shitstorm is comming.
Wow! Man! Actually you are the first person I have seen who says that. I believe that those who survive this pandemic develop immunity or at least more awareness to avoid becoming contaminated again. So I don't think this disease is going to develop any more problems. Thus I don't think this disease is going to develop any more problems. Maybe a new virus will appear, but I assure you that many countries will already know how to deal with this type of situation with the experience acquired previously.
Obviously, the economic recession will be a big blow to the economy, but it's something that can be overcome if we compare it to the ineffectiveness of death.
Hi @jadams2k18
You're very optimistic, aren't you? :)
Let's look at current state of things. Almost all countries struggle with lack of test kits. People who want to get tested are often send back homes. Because of lack of those test kits (not to mention how expensive are those).
Imagine if vaccine would be found. Most likely in US or europe. Very unlikely in China (they do not even have enough patients to conduct tests and there isn't much pressure to work on vaccine).
So let's say that some western coutry developed vaccine. How long will it take for less developed and wealthy countries to get an access to that vaccine? Months? Year? Two years?
I fully agree with you.

Buddy. Let me tell you a true story. As is well known, many Venezuelans left the country in search of better jobs and better living conditions. This is the case of a friend who went to Spain. She works in a grocery store (even though she is a professional with a university degree, etc, that is another story). Then, because of the problem of the epidemic, she had to work many more hours to meet the demand of people obsessed with the end of the world. Well, she got sick. It was obvious, the stress plus the contact with hundreds of people every day, the perfect probability of getting it. Obviously she had the disease, she presented all the symptoms, even the one of losing her sense of smell, etc.
It was a hard illness and it is even harder when you know that you have a high probability of dying and that there are no medicines to solve it, especially if you are a suggestible person. Thank God (you know I do believe in God) she got better and no longer has any symptoms. But it wasn't until she had no symptoms that she was allowed to take the test. She took the test on Thursday and the result was given on Monday afternoon. What kind of test is that? And what kind of test result can you get five days later? That you had coronavirus (and died)? That you didn't have coronavirus at the time but you're not sure you could have gotten it any other day before you got the result?
By the way, the test was negative. Really!!!???
She's much better, she's on bed rest for another 15 days by medical order. So she doesn't have to go back to work yet. I guess she must be getting some compensation. I'll ask her about it in due course.
I ask you: are the tests reliable?
The vaccines. That's a different matter, flour from another bag, as we say here. That will be the holy grail for those who patent it.
Another question: are vaccines meant to remove disease or to prevent it? I'm not clear about that. If you already have the disease or are a carrier of the disease, the vaccine takes the disease away or it is only for people who do not have the disease.
Dear @jadams2k18
What an amazing comment. Seriously love it. Thank you for sharing this story with me.
I've finally managed to catch up with old comments. Thx for yours.
It surely must be difficult to be in such a position.
Have a great sunday ahead,
Yours, Piotr
