yes, i am afraid this is not going away until there is herd immunity (a large percentage of the population is immune) due to a large percentage of the population surviving the illness or the development of a vaccine. Both are probably a ways off. until then, every time a case shows up it spreads like wildfire and has the potential to overwhelm our medical system. personally, i cant stand to be penned up. looking forward to warm weather when i can go on some long solo bike rides- which i think should be safe.
