Yes, he’s pretty funny. :D
I have no medical background but am hoping that increased caution, sunshine (UV), warmth and outdoor activities will decrease the spread over the next few weeks.
If it behaves like its benign cousins that cause the common cold, the disease will ramp down as we approach summer, while more cases occur in the southern hemisphere. Then it will switch hemispheres again next fall/winter.
I'm really worried that it will gain a permanent foothold. I really hope vaccine candidates can be tested and distributed quickly. For most vaccines, it takes ten years to test and get FDA approval--if the stars align.
