“I heard on the news this morning that the virus will have run its course by this April.”
But I also read that each corona virus is (of course) different, and that there is one which infects cats that is pretty much not affected by sunlight. So who knows until we get to the Spring. The Spanish flu of 100 years ago wasn’t so affected - but this is no an influenza virus, it is different. Oh, and this particular virus will, like all viruses, mutate at one or more points in the future, and whether those mutations make it more or less virulent, more or less communicable, more or less vulnerable to UV rays and warmer temps - well, that we’ll just have to wait and find out...it isn’t like we have much of a choice in the matter.
Again, hopefully the coming of Spring does the trick, and all of the medical authorities will have learned a lot from the experience of the lack 2-3 months. Maybe we’ll even have a vaccine in a year or so (though that’s no guarantee, there is STILL no AIDS vaccine despite billions having been poured into that research over the last 20 or so years).
When I took physiology in college our class was told that VIRUSES are so nasty that scientists could WATCH them mutate right before their eyes...in the microscope.
