My Coronavirus summary
Naturally occurring virus.
Possibly escaped a lab due to negligence but probably just jumped to humans from another mammal.
Particularly bad Coronavirus that has a unique and undocumented effect on humans. Looked like it could be potentially catastrophic early on.
Response was bungled on many levels and we overreacted. To exactly what degree is impossible to calculate.
Response also was excellent on many levels and greatly reduced the impact of the virus
A vaccine is much needed.
I was just driving down the road yesterday wondering what a non political COVID commentary might sound like. This is what I came up with.
no vaccine. we don't have one for the common cold. why would this be any different?
