Gene DellaSala Has Coronavirus

djones51,
 Good point but I'm not assuming it will be eradicated,  no one is in a position to predict that. My belief is that 6 months down the road much more will be known and analyzed.  It will simply be an informative comparison to  make given this current early stage of a viral outbreak that generates in some cases wild speculation. The 2009  H1N1 (swine flu) went on for roughly a year. It infected 50 to 60 million Americans but didn't generate a fraction of the hysteria we have now with COVID 19.

t_ramey,  agree, exceedingly predictable political pablum. See you all in 6 months with a clear eyed retrospective examination.

Roxy54,
It will be an interesting study to revisit this thread in about 6 months or so. Compare the ’actua’l’ outcome and resolution of this vial outbreak to the dire speculation and hyperbole present here. The United States is very fortunate to have the level of expertise of the Corona virus task force working (Infectious Disease, Immunology
and Epidemiology) on their behalf.
