No, I mean sooner or later there are going to be riots and revolts. The military is going to have to be put into action, not just in logistics.

OIC what you mean. Well, to be fair,the world in the industrialised countries have been getting on alright. We only went into lockdown in the UK owing to a very small numberof idiots and the issue not wanting to max out our health service capacity.

That is impossible to say. How long will it be until 70% of the population catches it? It's like asking how long is a piece of string?

It should be possible to model this.

To get 70% of the population infected and cured will take more than a year if you want to minimise casualties. If you don't care about the body count, you can do it in 2 months.

well just read this article, herd immunity it appears is a no go.

The U.K. backed off on herd immunity. To beat COVID-19, we’ll ultimately need it.

Widespread immunity is essential for a successful vaccine, but establishing it could be difficult for the new coronavirus.

Maybe an online worker? As in tech stuff, for a big company.

Italy only has 11 percent immune and new research says most recovered patients have very little or now antibodies in their system which means it will be even less than the estimated 11%

Well, tonight is my last night to work. Community hospitals aren’t getting enough Covid patients to continue needing night reporting. Good news, I guess.

New Zealand is getting their cases down, which is good, BUT, they didnt give any patients a ventilator because they didnt want to prolong the chances of a doctor or nurse getting infected so they just let them die

Where did you read this? Because the only thing I can find on New Zealand regarding ventilators is that they're sourcing more.

NZ sources more ventilators amid rampant global demand

NZ has been able to procure a "large number" of ventilators during a global shortage.
