Re: Chinese Coronavirus
What is " Covid Normal"? I thought this was a very interesting podcast about what the future holds if there is no vaccine.I think you can hear it overseas. It is only 10 minutes long.

I think there are only two ways this will end.
The first is if the majority of people catch the virus and become resistant, thereby breaking the chain of infection.
And secondly, clearing areas by preventing the mixing of infected people with none infected people until there is no infection left in that area. This could only be done by preventing travel in or out of a quarantined area and gradually expanding the border until the whole country is clear of the virus.
But travel between countries would have to be prevented otherwise the whole situation would re-emerge. It only takes one infected person to sneak through.
In theory, if fourteen days is enough to quell the virus (the usual amount of time we have been quarantining) then total lockdown for just 14 days would be all that's required, and we need to pull up the drawbridge!
But with air traffic continuing (I live close to an airport and it appears 'Business as usual') this could be too difficult to sustain unless some hard decisions are made by governments. Not likely....

Worse still is that the second infection has been more severe!

Sadly despite all the work done so far there remains a great deal about this virus that is not understood.
