I wouldn’t count on it, but it doesn’t hurt to hope it’s true.
The big problem, though, in the reasoning is that it should have run it’s course in China, where it’s from, and Europe, being that it moved from east to west.
Sounds like wishful thinking, I’d take just a tiny teaspoon of hope from it to help sweeten a very large cup of bad news. Even if this doesn’t pan out it’s good to have an overall hope.
