It's been almost 8 months since the first coronavirus case was reported in the U.S. VICE News talked with some experts about what we've learned about the virus, and what we still don't understand at all.

Great segment, trained professionals is all we ask for not politicians!

They make some good points, and they went to school and practiced for years, but this guy on Facebook has some different ideas, and I think he’s really on to something!

Among a really long list of videos about Covid-19, this is only the 2nd one I see that correctly distinguishes between "asymptomatic" and "pre-symptomatic" :)

Every republican president has given a recession but this takes the cake 🤕

When will Americans learn ?

[candleankle]

I’m an ER nurse and have reservations about taking the vaccine first time around, I have a professional level of PPE knowledge and use. I’ll stay with that until there’s enough people with the vaccine before I get it

Immigration concentration camp detainees are not mentioned as some of the most vulnerable.

This was very at about @9:40 or a BIG issue that Humanity faces today. A vaccine for a Global virus that actually threatens our existence or at least to cut our numbers down by a significant amount should never be a "product(s)". A physician should never be put in the position of whether their patient is financially able to pay for the care they need vs letting them become disabled, unhealthy, or dead. I mean, you might as well start incorporating credit checking technology into those Temperature guns.

Summary: Even experts don't know enough about the virus.

One of the best you guys have uploaded during this pandemic, but only 76k Views? This should be seen by everyone!

As a scientist who has been communicating with people I know all along and studying literally everything I could read... I have to say this was very well done. Everyone was honest and on point with where we are at... I'm worried about the virus mutating and becoming harder to vaccinate away (with long term immunity) and of course more death. If we just could all come together and lock down and prevent it from spreading.

I want to see a panel of renowned doctors (the most accomplished doctors you can find) who disagree with each other and debate.

[queenmamabear]

This is Keep safe everyone, Prayers to all ESPECIALLY our Essential

[NicMoreno]

the US is fast tracking a vaccine what happens to healthcare workers who are first to be vaccinated and they get sick and die?? who will take care of this situation if our healthcare is disabled with sick workers

[misslabellekitty]

This is amazing. It needs more subtitles or even other lingual voice overs. I would love to share this in VF (voix française)

How much did it cost to tax-payers for 271 visits to golf course which Trump took since inauguration?


139 millions!

[majinbuuu]

So basically be ready for a corona season every year

[angelaisantiagonazario]

How about instead of naming ethnic minorities as the groups more likely to be infected why not say that it's poor people who are more at risk

[BAP]

Who else thinks we should be able to fund where our taxes go to? We vote the politicians in and we chose where the money goes.

[larissaandrews]

Scientists work very hard to get this thus far for the past 9 months. I cannot imagine how tireless they are. They are the one who is trying to figure it out which vaccine can help the world to get better.
