Is Covid-19 likely to be at pandemic proportions for 2 years?

Here’s the problem with Covid-19:

If we do nothing, it goes out of control. There is nearly universal agreement on this point. Every week the number of infected people doubles or triples, according to the best estimates of R0 today. Within about two months, hospitals start to collapse under the pressure (Italy) and can survive only by building emergency new facilities using help from the rest of the country (Wuhan). However, if you really are doing nothing, then two months later the rest of the country falls down and no one can help you. At this point, there are no more ICU beds left and the mortality rate goes from 2% to 5-10% because we run out of respirators.

On the other hand, if we declare a state of emergency … schools shut down, airports virtually close, and the country goes on lockdown. All for what, like 3,000 cases?? Then if the disease is successfully suppressed a few months later, everything opens back up and we look around and say, gee, why did we even do that?! Why did the country shut down when the ordinary flu killed 100x more people this year? Didn’t we way overreact?

But the difference between 5,000 cases and 5 million cases is 10 weeks of inaction. That is why governments around the world are taking severe and enormous action now, because we are at the edge of the precipice.

To answer the original question — will Covid-19 be considered a pandemic in two years? That depends on us. Please, if you have a cough and/or a fever, stay at home and stay away from others. You probably have a cold, but if you’re a minimally symptomatic carrier, you can do your part by making sure your particular Covid-19 ends at you and doesn’t get passed on to another person.

Man patika šis: https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca No šodienas skatu punkta jau pavecs :D Bet salīdzinot ar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgylp3Td1Bw , var lieliski redzēt, kā tieši tas arī notiek, par ko tur rakstīja.. un daudzu lielo valstu reakcija IR nākusi drusku par vēlu.
Latvijai ar vajadzēja drusku agrāk reaģēt, jo skaidrs, ka cilvēki neklausīs, un agrāki stingrāki ierobežojumi, nevis aicinājumi būtu varējuši (vai varbūt vēl varētu?) novērst iespēju visiem nonākt totālā karantīnā..

Labāk drusku par vēlu nekā kā UK vai Krievijā, kur liek mīksto.

Esmu dzidējis jau vairākus cilvēkus izsakam dumības, ka ir par vēlu, ko nu vairs, lol nau vērts, vajadzēja uzreiz visas robežas ciet utt
Nekas nav par vēlu, pašizolācija labi strādā. Reku ar gripas epidēmiju EZ tikām galā. XD

tas gan - jo vieglprātīgāk tgd izturēsies, jo lielāka iespēja, ka lol nau verc pāries vispārīgā n mēnešus ilgā karantīnā, kur pilsētās esošie varēs tikai nošauties, jo pat uz ielas lāga iziet nedrīkstēs..
