Re: Perfect example...
>but they make it clear that this is the FIRST wave of the disease and there is worse to come
However, this seeming clarity is being eroded by the testing of biopsy samples taken last year, in which evidence of SARS-CoV-2 is being found, suggesting there was an initial wave in UK/Europe last autumn...
What people are ignoring is just what government policy (around the world) actually means, basically, they are accepting CoViD19 is here to stay, it won't be eradicated and achieving herd immunity is a pipedream, the best seems to be to keep it's R-value below 1, in the hope that a vaccine can be developed within the next year then mass produced and then a programme of injections started - which to me indicates CoViD19 and thus lockdowns and social distancing are going to be part of 'normal' for at least the next 3 years.
There is one thing we can be certain of: CoViD19 is action research on a grand scale and is providing many opportunities for people to see scientific problem solving - warts and all - in real-time.
