But a novel virus is an unknown. And a new novel virus, that’s still in diapers mutation wise, is a huge unknown because nobody knows what it will grow up to be - H1N1 level, cold level, or Andromeda Strain level?

Yes, it it an unknown. But we studied and defeated Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 (A/H1N1), and the same can be done with COVID-19. We just have to have the will to do so, regardless of the media.

Agreed. If we’re lucky, we’ll have a working vaccine for Wuhan Virus by year end. Until then, the new buzzword, flatten the curve, is one of our few defenses. Limited exposure, social distancing, and lots of nesting and self-pampering. And family love - from 6 feet haha. I’ve already bought the paint to do-over the casita and the guest bath. That should keep me busy for at least a week. And it’s more fun than cleaning the attic ;)
