DO NOT DO THIS. Go ahead and start applying elsewhere, but don't leave your job without another job especially right now. 40 million people are out of work in the US. Economists are worried it will cause a recession worse than 2008. It may be difficult to understand what 2008 was like, but picture going to the jobs section of LinkedIn and seeing only one listing in your area. Tha isn't even hyperbole.

What if the vaccine takes 2 years to discover and develop?
