1. K&R.

I guess that I'll put off that haircut a bit longer. However, after 10 months I must admit that I'm reaching the point that I'm tired of the shaggy look.

3. All these guys are complaining about not being able to get haircuts now

So you're in good company, both Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers have complained - but if you look few years back, their hair was a whole lot longer and they liked it that way. My brother's the same way and I remember when his hair was past his shoulders. Do what makes you comfortable, but you probably look just fine. Hope that you're feeling okay, too...

2. It was a company press release...

There's lot to find out yet like how long it lasts and how to make it accessible if it is worth using. From what Ms Garrett is saying, the longevity of protection, as known so far, is only 7 days. What good is that for 7+ billion people?

6. The temperature needed is another impediment, not too many venues can provide such cold

So I think that any announcement that we have a vaccine yet is still quite premature. We need more time to prove the efficacy and to overcome numerous obstacles, but I do understand the desperation since the numbers are rising again. However, in the meantime, this country needs to listen to Joe Biden's straight talk about taking precautions and stop making this political - but I fear that Trump's lies and incitement has already poisoned too many.

4. it hasnt even been peer reviewed yet and prob not ready to distribute til summer

..but hubby is a pharmacist and says this is one he would consider taking when its finally ready. Also it has to be stored at -100 degrees. Coolers with dry ice will be the way to go for smaller hospitals..
