Your daughter is a smart cookie. You must be very proud of her. I wonder too why people are treating this virus as a temporary aberration which will run its course then be gone. Personally I think it is here to stay.

I agree - t will likely become another “Flu bug” that makes annual rounds.

I’m very proud of my daughter - she is accomplished enough that she can choose where she works and if she ever thinks she needs a few extra hours, she has her choice of surgical centers to “moonlight” in. She’s starting to take courses to become Nurse Practitioner.

I agree that it will linger around for a while.
Already known that there are two strains of the virus : "S" and another "L" strain.
The "S" strain is the more virulent, stronger strain that results in more fatalities; it also is the 'mother' of the "L" strain.
The "L" strain is the weaker of the viri, or the 'lessor strain', or weaker version which is akin to regular influenza.
I believe that in China, the "S" strain has been supplanted by the "L" strain, since the "S" strain burned out, having killed so many of its' hosts.
What's concerning to me is the possible pulmonary and nervous system damage done by the virus,
and the possibility of re-infection where so much damage has already been done.
Don't forget that with the Ebola virus years ago, we were still finding latent viri secreted in male testes and in eye mucousa 6 months after infection.
