that the more we lock down and avoid social contact, the longer this will all last. I know it's necessary to prevent healthcare from being overwhelmed and limit the number of deaths. But it just sucks that knowing all our measures will only make this last longer and we may have to do this for several months to a year for it to be really effective. But if we stop too soon (which I think we will due to increasing economic/social pressure), we'll end up having a huge spike and overwhelming the healthcare system anyway. It just seems like a game of balancing # of deaths vs. economic damage, with us ultimately taking big hits in both of those areas.

Was the corona meta to catch the virus asap so as to get care before supplies run out?

If we can last until the right vaccines and drugs are made widely available, we're in a pretty good position.

Yeah but that's probably almost a year away. Vaccines take a long time.

My only hope right now is that the summer weather ends up making a bigger difference than expected.

Mike Pence says we're in day 6 of a 14 day lockdown, but we know that's just to calm the stock market so it doesn't fall another 2 thousand points on Monday.

It's really going to be 18 months of this for Corona to burn itself out or a vaccine is discovered.

you didn't really explain how it would last longer.

China was on full lockdown mind you, and they have no new cases

let's be honest. no one actually plans for the highly contagious virus that will knock out the entire world.

Not necessarily doomsday, but rather a paradigm shift.

The whole theory about isolating ourselves is to "flatten the curve." So we have a lower peak but the spread occurs over a longer time period. Reports have shown that this would take several months to a year in the US.
