This is what I struggle to understand in real time, no one is saying this virus is just going to cease to exsist. I mean the 1918 flu is the H1N1 that is still around 100 year later, and pneumonia and the common cold are in the coronavirus family. I live on an island and they did shut down and we had no cases until some people snuck in and at least one ended up a positive asymptomatic that is known as patient 0 here. But we have no reason to believe that even with vaccines or medicine, the virus ceases to be. Do we really shut down for years? Do countries, and regions and cities lock each other out everytime there are known cases? I mean what kind of world do we want, one where governments make all the calls on what risks are allowable? I am an American but live in Honduras. The Government here is given all the authority it wants in making decisions, but carries little of the fault of those now struggling. In Canada it seems the government carries the weight of the medical and fall out in caring for those who were out of work during closures, but Honduras is mimicking countries with VERY different environments and will have very different outcomes. No medical system, no money, no resources to distribute. The fact that the US has a ton of cases limits help and just plain people. tourists and volunteer groups from the ability to come. We are all connected in 2020 is ways that can not all be untangled. Sorry for the vent, I have no purpose in my rambling, just thing to sensemake how to be in the world as a person of not just one country and culture and too much time and access to information.
