Scientists in China appeared to dampen hopes that the coronavirus would eventually burn out for good and said the virus, which has been blamed for 200,000 deaths and decimating the world economy, will likely return each year.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told a coronavirus press briefing earlier this month that the world may never return to the “normal” that was known before the outbreak.

"When we get back to normal, we will go back to the point where we can function as a society,” he said. He continued, “If you want to get back to pre-coronavirus, that might not ever happen in the sense that the threat is there.”

Well, Sweden will be fine. They’ll have herd immunity.

Meanwhile, the flu comes back every year. Duh. What’s their point? This one is not that deadly anyway.

Or not. Because we don’t know.

SARS took ten years to return

Just remember all these yobs who are telling you this “science” haven’t found a vaccine for SARS or AIDS or any if the other killer diseases out there. They are also big govt hacks who seek more money and more power

then don’t panic and carry on.

Sitting in the hole for another 12 weeks won’t stop it.

Here’s an idea -

let’s just totally quarantine THE ONE COUNTRY where 99% of all these menacing viruses come from.

Problem solved.

Someone need to inform President Trump it is not deadly. Apparently he did not get the memo or maybe it is part of the 3D chess game.

Possibly true. Nothing unusual as long as the economy isn’t shut down by those who think they’re in charge.

No kidding. The virus will settle into some endemic rate like other seasonal illnesses. We may have one more bad season (It depends on how many people contracted it this spring and whether we have a vaccine) and the it will be like the common cold or seasonal flu in its rate of new infections. The same way every epidemic in a naive population does. Regardless of quarantines lockdowns or other useless measures

Well that will cost a lot of people their homes and jobs. But that is ok... for the well to do. There are no quick U-turns on a train track..

“This one is not that deadly anyway.”

The flu in 1957, the year I was born - 116,000 Americans died, never heard of it.
