Totally true Marcvtec. The modelling predicts 4 or more “waves” of several months wax and wane that reduce in intensity (paradoxically the second wave might be worse in some areas that get hit lightly first time around) and as herd immunity grows that will mitigate transmission along with the population getting used to physical measures to reduce spread. This is manageable if we can break up the potential tsunami (the tsunami is not manageable or course) instead into these smaller waves of ill individuals where the acute care hospital resources can support those whom get really sick which seems to run around 5-10% more or less. Then covid will likely become another yearly background illness just like influenza and we will add it to the immunization schedule and tell our grandkids some day about the pandemic of 2020. (2019-2021 to be more precise). Spread the wisdom people.
