The hard quarantines will come and go wherever and whenever they are needed, and we'll work around this through compartmentalization. Don't right off the human ingenuity just yet, we've been through worse with a lot less resources and knowledge. We'll wheather the next two years, or kore if need be. Like the DG of The WHO said, this is the first pandemic in history that can be contained successfully. And who knows, with modern computing and technology we might have a mass produced vaccine before summer 2021. If we need ICUs, we'll build them on the fly, if we need medical staff we'll take students and trian them quickly, if we need to put the economies in debt to feed people, we'll do that too and fix things up in the years following. When all is said and done, there'll be a blooming effected for all aspects of human life when we come out of it, there always is. |
Oh yeah, no doubt we'll get through this. Mobilize the army to build field hospitals, quick deployment of extra beds and quarantine hotels (that's don't collapse) A task force to go from area to area.
The planet will get better from this as well. Plane traffic is already down, less people driving around. More working from home. Virtual meeting software will see a big boom, AR as well. And in the end we'll be better prepared for the next emergency with more redundancies and buffers build into the system. And nothing like a mutual threat to bring people together. Well after the panic phase is done.
