Gene DellaSala Has Coronavirus

t_ramey,  agree, exceedingly predictable political pablum. See you all in 6 months with a clear eyed retrospective examination.

Why assume it will be gone in 6 months? Not sure they know enough to make that prediction. Could make a comeback like the Spanish flu, might be a yearly occurrence where a vaccine is needed. This virus is new though similar to other viruses the experts I've been listening too say they don't know what course this will take.

Not this again.  This thread is about as helpful as watching shoppers beat each other up over a roll of toilet paper at Walmart.

Didn't know that, I haven't been in a Walmart for years. Is that a common occurrence in Walmarts? 

djones51,
 Good point but I'm not assuming it will be eradicated,  no one is in a position to predict that. My belief is that 6 months down the road much more will be known and analyzed.  It will simply be an informative comparison to  make given this current early stage of a viral outbreak that generates in some cases wild speculation. The 2009  H1N1 (swine flu) went on for roughly a year. It infected 50 to 60 million Americans but didn't generate a fraction of the hysteria we have now with COVID 19.
