    The Four Possible Timelines for Life Returning to Normal

    The coronavirus outbreak may last for a year or two, but some elements of pre-pandemic life will likely be won back in the meantime.

    Excellent article, thanks for sharing. What is the science behind only getting this once?  Haven’t some people gotten covid 19 twice?

    - History with these viruses tells us it should give you immunity - for life, or for an amount of time. According to Johan Giesecke
    - Nothing is conclusive on reports of getting it twice. Johan Giesecke says it is probably not the case, but instead the result of poor testing etc.

    Yeah, they are not sure yet.
    As Dankind shared, they do not have enough of a track record yet...but they seem to think you are OK after getting once.

    SEIU "discovers" a distributor sitting on 39 million masks and is generously "connecting" health systems with them who will then be charged $5/mask, a 10x markup

    Johan Giesecke doesn't believe in the weather affecting the virus. If it slows in the summer, it will be because of people being less cramped by Swedes going to their summer houses etc.

    Thought that should be pointed out before the reactionaries only read your headline.

    Not saying the ad isn't effective or true. But when that end tag with "PAID FOR BY" comes I always disregard everything that has come before it as dishonest/BS. 

    Hehe.

    Spain, Europe's worst-hit country after Italy, says coronavirus tests it bought from China are failing to detect positive cases

    Excellent article, dignin, thanks.  The one to two month scenario seems highly unlikely.  The 3 to 4 month scenario even seems a little optimistic but I would hope that is the best option.  Would love to be back to work before summer is over.

    You think two months is highly unlikely looking at China and South Korea? I am hopeful thats all we need. I think we will have a lot to learn from China in the next month or two about the potential of second waves and if this thing can be stopped well enough or not with 1 lockdown after opening back up.  That is if they report accurately of course. 

    I know no one really knows how this will all play out and it is all speculation. I just can't imagine living in a country that is shut down all of summer too. I guess I could not imagine living in a country that was shut down period. I am Canadian btw but still applies to the US for me.

    'I know no one really knows how this will all play out and it is all speculation.'

    Not really.  There's a whole branch of medicine which deals with the incidence, distribution, and possible control of diseases and other factors relating to health.

    This was not only possible, not even probable, but inevitable.

    I am just saying the speculation of months away to over a year away.
