Some social distancing may be needed into 2022 to keep coronavirus in check, new study says

So the number-crunchers are all sitting around a table, eating peanuts and cashews.

"So..." crunch crunch "we ran the numbers" crunch crunch - "and" - crunch - "looks like we need to keep up this social distancing until 2022".  crunch crunch crunch.

...crunch...

Silence...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!HAHAHAHAH!!!!!

So, if the intent was to show how really stupid we all are, I think they miserably failed.

The research, published Tuesday in the journal Science, looked at a range of scenarios for how the SARS-CoV-2 virus will spread over the next five years. Those scenarios included variables like whether people who are infected develop short-term immunity — less than a year — or longer-term protection. But, overall, the research concludes it is unlikely that life will return any time soon to the way it was before the virus’ emergence.

The article goes on to make the point that our ability to build immunity only lasts a year or two. So, our propensity to be reinfected is quite high.

But....what did they forget?  Truly astonishing, in my opinion.

The Chinese Virus is easily dispensed with.

The hydroxychoroquinone or HCQ stops the deadly disease in its tracks!

What else helps?  A diet or supplements high in zinc, vitamin C and D.  These can help harden your immune system.

So, I ask:  WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL???

What could I compare it to?  I would say David and Goliath with Goliath as the deadly and ravaging disease.  And David with his two stones at the ready, slaying what everyone thought was a MONSTER.

I think this is the sentence that told me these guys THINK they have us over a barrel:

"But, overall, the research concludes it is unlikely that life will return any time soon to the way it was before the virus’ emergence."

You see, the human race has had to fight all kinds of diseases over the past millennia.  It is wasn't smallpox, it was bubonic plague.  If it wasn't cholera, it was tuberculosis. If it wasn't polio it was whooping cough.  The list goes on and on and on.

From what I can tell, "normal life" is that small sliver of time between the final lapse of one calamity to the raging onslaught of a new disease.  Normal life free of a calamity is not the normal.  All the other times are the normal.  And guess what?  We're still here! 

Fuck Social Distancing.
