Hopefully, it's a light at the end of the tunnel. If countries keep doing all the can to screen and quarantine infected people, perhaps it'll advert the worst of it. I know the FDA will fasttrack it since this particular lab doesn't use the virus itself. They use a genetic technique which trains the bodies immune system to recognize and attack the virus.

I think with customs being used to lock down the country due to the ecological sensitivity, it wasn’t all that difficult to extend similar controls to people entering the country.

Nevertheless, the travel bans cannot remain indefinitely, and very soon they will be lifted. That, coupled with the season drawing to a close and winter on the horizon, I am a bit worried about this virus coming to our shores en masse.

China may have the world’s worst air pollution, but with the bushfire smoke we’ve had hanging over the cities for so long, it was like smoking 40 cigarettes a day for most of December and a bit of January.

I don’t believe we’ve seen the worst of this virus yet.

I think many people have that thought - usuallyabout the others - "them" (ya that word again) the others, not me,not my family - not people like me, not people like us, the others.
Me - I personally also wish for a few billion of them todisappear, but I do not like to think too deeply about what I am wishing for, Iknow it’s wrong, but surely it’s so due though, there are just so to many of ushumans.
