And once we get out, all it takes is a couple people here and there who were asymptomatic at release time and then spread it again.
The only legit answer is a vaccine but that can be 1 year away. We won’t last that long.
we cant/won’t stop the outbreak without a vaccine. Period. We’re doing what we’re doing now, just to buy us enough time to get the infrastructure (beds, ventilators etc) in place so that we can save more lives by not having to decide who gets a ventilator and who doesn’t. Over time we might see age/health related quarantine... who knows if that’ll work but at some whether the government says its ok or not, folks are gonna go back to work.
