Good article and an approach I think makes the best medical sense.Here's How Scientists and Public-Health Experts Recommend the U.S. Gets Back to 'Normal'
There will be lots of opinions by lots of "experts," but what's presented here seems to be practical and based in common sense. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately I think we have to face the fact that , that is all we can do right now, we can't keep the country shut down. Sadly ppl are facing eviction and repossessions if they can't get back to work, and banks and landlords aren't going to work with them long term....this is a really hard situation right now and this reopening this early actually shows just how clueless we currently are....this virus has also mutated into quite a few different strains so getting a vaccine is gonna be similar to the flu, is it the right one, and even then may not be 100% effective....i dunno, we are in uncharted territory here and its shows just how much with the actions being taken.‘False Dawn’ Recovery Haunts Virus Survivors Who Fall Sick Again
I hear a lot of talk about "herd immunity." Little problem....we don't know if that immunity lasts more than a few weeks.
From the article:
Herd Immunity
There’s consensus that so-called herd immunity is key to ending the pandemic, but with a vaccine unlikely to be widely available this year, it will depend on factors such as how long people who’ve recovered have immunity and what percentage of people must be immune to protect the “herd.”
Catching Covid-19 May Not Protect You Against New Infection
There’s “a lot of unknowns and uncertainty in the development of individual immunity,” said Kentaro Iwata, a professor of infectious diseases at Japan’s Kobe University. “Development of antibody inside the body is not necessarily development of immunity against this disease.”
The unknowns concerning infectiousness, immunity and lingering symptoms create frustrating dilemmas.
I totally get that part, Paul. What I'm trying to point out here is how much we don't know yet because many people have the mindset that they can just flip a switch when lock down is lifted and go back to a totally "normal" world as it was.Unfortunately I think we have to face the fact that , that is all we can do right now, we can't keep the country shut down.
