OK, this is in the "Take it for what it's worth" category.

My sister's an administrator in a health facility in Florida.  The concensus of opinion of the medical staff is the virus crisis should end in about a month, maybe six weeks.  Maybe slightly longer, but not by much.

The reason being the changing of the seasons and the lengthening of daylight hours, plus the rising intensity of sunlight.  The ultraviolet component of sunlight is deadly to viruses, hence the reason flu season is concurrent with the winter months and ends with the spring.  So, even though they've had coronavirus cases, not many I might add, they're not hitting the panic button.  They have no reason to doubt this virus will behave any different from others. 

Granted, medical opinions aren't going to be monolithic on this, just like any group of people aren't monolithic on any subject, but there is cause for hope. 

Just thought I'd pass it on.

Hey Firelock, this is not the place. 

 Leave it to people who know and are paid to know. Not the drunk next door.

 Hope is always at the door for those who have faith, all of that other stuff is what it is. Noise.

It is what it is and will be what it is, and everyone should get over it.

 I am done!
