+100 on what Canyon said. COVID19 is here to stay. Living life is about making choices and taking risks. There's been sufficient testing to tell us that COVID19 is wide spread, and the mortality rate is very low (around 0.5% currently). It definitely sucks if the one who dies is our own family or friend. I pray that you & yours (the PB family) come through safe and sound. But no vaccine is coming. No wildly effective medications are likely either. But our immune systems will adapt, and life will go on. We might as well venture out and wet a line.
This is a great idea but it will not work with this virus. The problem is the only immunity we have to this is called our active immunity. Our passive immunity doesn't even recognize this virus. This means there is very little chance the virus will ever have a vaccine, and very little chance your immunity will last more then 6 months.
This is a SARs 2.0 and there is no vaccine for SARs or MERs. Here in Canada things are shut down too and now extended to May 31st. Events are being canceled out to August 30th now. It is now understood this virus doesn't have legs and is only transmitted by human to human contact. Limiting this is the only way we are going to get back to our lives if we ever do.
The only hard data you can stick with is the recovered numbers and the death ratio. These are the only known factors that exist. The death rate is in the 25 to 20% and is not, no where near 2% and not to be taken lightly.
Everyone please stay home stay safe and keep this virus from traveling.
