Thought about it this morning. Without a cure, vaccine, or evidence that the virus doesn’t give you permanent immunity we’re going to be having lockdowns on and off for years.

Pretty sure this is right. Masks, social distancing, etc just increase the time between lockdowns (absent cute, vaccine etc). https://twitter.com/molson_hart/status/1249140441364209664?s=21 …https://twitter.com/Molson_Hart/status/1249140441364209664 …

Molson Hart @Molson_HartEvery time you do a lockdown, the virus comes back slower, because, because more people have been infected (and thus immune), the rate of infection is lower. This buys you time for vaccine or treatment. That's why this works! Needs to be a federally led strategy. /END pic.twitter.com/gxxKeMUArhShow this thread2 replies 0 retweets 3 likesShow this thread -

I didn’t read it but I just scanned it. Based on that I don’t think I agree. It’s impossible in a country like America to “smash the curve” and I don’t agree with how he drew his graphs. We’re going to get lots of spikes in a mitigation strategy.
