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 -
Btw, I should’ve made it clear that this is the situation in the USA. Island countries or places with totalitarian governments can have a different sequence play out.

India has 4x the population, in 3x the space of USA. Total infections have only just crossed US total deaths. (Right now tracking at 40% recoveries). Definitely not an Island or a dictatorship.

Matter of scale & density. You've a population that's Bigger than Africa. Or Europe plus America in 1/3rd American land or 1/10th African land. Containment will happen over the year. That's the natural course of things. Even China with its Govt now has new clusters in N-E.

And if it's got 1/20th US infections... How do you say it's not being contained. It is. Bangalore has as much population as New York, so far it's got 9 deaths from Covid and is now opening up.
