We are literally nearing the far end of the spectrum as far as containment, sans killing off those infected general lockdowns are about as top tier as we can get.

What happens next though, this started from one and two people having the virus and spreading it. There is zero chance we are going to stop that spread with this though, it will continue on until theirs a vaccine or we no longer care. As long as someone is a carrier and infecting others spread will continue, so how do we get to a normal?

We have to fabricate a vaccine to fight the virus. In the interim, if there is another treatment (hydroxychloroquine) that can help, get it to the states and hospitals.

Get the tests ramped up to test all in the affected areas, to get a full picture on the size of what we're dealing with. Hope that the warming climates and the precautionary measures we're now implementing will stunt the spread.

After all that, just wait and pray....

Corona Virus

First, we call it something connected to the Chicoms. The WuFlu, Kung Flu, Wuhan Virus, or Chinese Virus.

Those frickers have taken advantage of our corrupt system, and the days of bowing to China need to be in the past.

I wonder what happens with them going forward, POTUS left that door open today and they fricking deserve to answer for this, for allowing it to happen and their initial reaction.

They brought this plague on the world

I don’t think people will go much longer holed up in their bunkers unless they see first hand a real impact that matches the hysteria. At some point people have to psychologically feel the pain before true alteration of behavior.

That being the case, we’ll either see a spike at some point this summer as cabin fever takes over, or the virus will naturally subside due to mitigation efforts combined with higher temps. My hunch is the latter is the case. We’ll see a leveling off or decline in a few weeks like China and South Korea.

Beyond that, nursing homes and hospitals will continue to deal with it for the next year but numbers will stabilize and vaccine will come online.

As more people you know (yourself included) contract the virus and come to realize it is no worse than a typical seasonal illness (except for older folks), normalcy will return.

There are a good number of farther steps that can be taken, none of them will resonate well with the public, because deaths lag.

The infections are going to happen. The effects of prior mitigation are just now starting to show up in infection rates -- though expanded testing may make it seem like they don't. What was done a week or two weeks ago, is just now making an impact. It'll be another week after that, before we know the impact of the latest round of preventative steps have made. Start building in a 2-3 week lag into the numbers you see.

We stop overreacting and treat it like every other seasonal disease.

THIS. Once they have this clinic trial done with the malaria drug, we can announce a strong treatment and get people back to work.

Where do we go from here with Corona Virus?

Pittsburgh
L.A. via Omaha

"You may not know it but this man is a spy.
He's a undercover agent for the FBI
And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan!"

He was still bent over holdin on to his knee
But everybody else was looking and listening to me
And I laid it on thicker and heavier as I went

I said, "Would you believe this man has gone as far
As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars.
And he voted for George McGovern for President."

"Well, he's a friend of them long haired, hippy-type, pinko figs!
I betchya he's even got a commie flag
tacked up on the wall inside of his garage."

"He's a snake in the grass, I tell ya guys.
He may look dumb but that's just a disguise,
He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage"

They all started lookin real suspicious at him
And he jumped up and said "Now just wait a minute Jim!
You know he's lying I been living here all of my life!"

"I'm a faithful follower of Brother John Birch
And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church.
And I ain't even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife!"

Then he started saying somethin bout the way I was dressed
But I didn't wait around to hear the rest
I was too busy moving and hoping I didn't run outta luck

When I hit the ground I was making tracks
And they were just taking my car down off the jacks
So I threw the man a twenty and jumped in and fired that mother up

Mario Andretti wouldda sure been proud
Of the way I was movin when I passed that crowd
Coming out the door and headed toward me at a trot

And I guess I should of gone ahead and run
But somehow I just couldn't resist the fun
Of chasing them all just once around the parking lot

You hit the nail on the head. We no longer care because give me a freaking break, THERE ARE VIRUSES OUT HERE, lots of them! And some will make you sick. So get the vaccination, eat your fruits and vegetables, and keep on truckin'...That is the current normal with the flu.
