this is going to go one of three ways:
1 the virus collapses which is actually totally possible and a few models support
2 vaccine
3 we ping pong this virus back and forth and create more contagious / lethal versions of it and spread it around the world over and over again
lotta people suspect #1 is very live here because we may have greater immunity than we dared hope.
that said, between china getting ready to nuke us and the ecological holocaust thats going to go down when we 'open up' on a planetary scale, we may look back on this period with nostalgia.
It would be wonderful if this is true. Here’s where I struggle with this notion. We have verm in here, and most doctors say, mutations generally weaken. So he’s giving us the correct answer based on the normal. But this shit that hit the east coast and Italy sure looks stronger than what hit the west coast initially.
If I was a Chinese propagandist I’d be making that argument. That it started in Europe, because that would make more sense.
How much immunity can we have if random antibody tests of the five boroughs showed 20%? What can it possible be elsewhere? Only explanation is if sole far weaker strain hit elsewhere, but then we are back to the mutation being stronger than the original.
