The odds are that you'll still get infected. Prevention has been mostly abandoned, the point now is to slow the spread enough that there will be enough ICU beds for whoever needs them.
- DougN7 7y agoI seriously wonder how that will work. At 10 million per month it would take almost two years. Can we do social distancing that long?
- inamberclad 7y agoGave it some thought, and the best case I can think of is that this'll burn itself out if everyone can keep the proper distance for long enough. Basically, the track, test, and isolate route that South Korea did.
- DougN7 7y agoI’d like to believe that. But the darn thing is infectious enough that just a small handful of people still having it will restart the whole thing.
