The WHO has the opinion that it will recede (not go away, just recede) during the summer and then return with a vengeance this coming winter. I'm just hoping for the best during this madness.
And now the NBA has suspended the current season indefinitely. OMG

I think part of the worry is it has the potential to mutate and come back as a different strain every year, or every couple years. I have seen spanish flu comparisons and final numbers may be something similar. (although spanish flu numbers are hard to pin down.) Still I think we are in the early stages so really it is hard to know. I'm just glad with two very young ones at home that children seem to be relatively unaffected.

On a side note, Tom Hanks and his wife tested positive today.

Children who don't have respritroy problems like asthma. Children will be great vectors to have this transmitted to everyone in their classroom and then it goes home with them to siblings and parents.

If you listen to the WHO, you would think we are going to become a teenage wasteland.

I can tell you that is not true. This virus has killed healthy people. Right now Riley has several kids in their isolation ward. Kids with health issues, asthma, they are at risk.
