We need to do something fast, simply staying closed down (maybe 6-18 months) until there are “no” new cases is not an option IMO. We will be done as a nation.[/quote]
I don’t think the goal is to get to zero new cases before restrictions are lifted. That is not practical.
The goal is to spread out the transmissions such that hospitals don’t get overwhelmed.
Yes, Stay At Home will be lifted in a few weeks, but life will by no means be completely back to normal. Until when and if a vaccine is widely distributed, transmissions will continue to occur. That likely means we’ll be living with some sort of modified behavior for a year or two.
Just like in 1918-1920.[/quote]
My moms aunt died in the Spanish flu epidemic, and it had rippling effects on how her mom raised her. Apparently it was a pretty traumatic time for my gramma.
Wonder whether this will have traumatic effects as we head into global warming endtimes.
