We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

It would be nice to get rid of your drive by "Orange Man Bad" comments.
You don't think that October will be mentioned?

No time in recent memory has shone as bright a light on the work of FDA review staff. We understand the importance of being as transparent as possible about the work we do, including how FDA will make decisions regarding #COVID19 vaccines. #FDAVaccineFacts

So why as such a dumb question? He has stated many times he hopes we can make a vaccine available to those that need it the most before November.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website has updated, yet again, guidelines for testing people who do not have symptoms of coronavirus.

The new language rolls back controversial changes made to the site last month. It once again stresses that anyone who has been in contact with an infected person should be tested for coronavirus.

“Due to the significance of asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission, this guidance further reinforces the need to test asymptomatic persons, including close contacts of a person with documented SARS-CoV-2 infection,” it says.

"Testing is recommended for all close contacts of persons with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Because of the potential for asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission, it is important that contacts of individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection be quickly identified and tested," the site now reads.

"Viral tests are recommended to diagnose acute infection of both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, to guide contact tracing, treatment options, and isolation requirements," the site now says.

The guidance notes that even if people do not have symptoms, they still need a test if they have been in close contact — such as within 6 feet — of a person with coronavirus infection for at least 15 minutes.

"In areas where there are a small number of new cases and limited spread, your public health department may request a small number of asymptomatic 'healthy people' to be tested," the guidance says. "If there is significant spread of the virus in your community, your public health department may request significant numbers of asymptomatic “healthy people” to be tested in order to help stop the spread of the virus."

Yes, I know he has. I was just wondering if think he'll bring it up again, and for what reason.

I don't know. Him restating something again wasn't something I had given much thought to.

I have a close friend that works in pharmaceutical development and he is adamant that no phase 3 trials will even be close to done by election time.

I don't believe anyone thought they would be.

He is also saying that no company plans on filing for emergency use authorization. The general consensus is that if a vaccine is pushed through and hurts people, it will completely destroy the public's confidence in vaccines.
