Again, how many test you think Africa is conducting? But that’s an aside. It’s spread to 24 Africa an countries so it’s spreading despite temperature. It’s not seasonal.

The US can only Hunker Down so long....
Flattening yhe curve and the hospital situation are the exact same thing. The curve cannot surpass our medical capabilities. Hell if no one was dying, it would be business as always. Snotty nose doesn't care if its allergies or some other non-life threatening thing.

Per Harvard, We better hope it is not "over" by the fall.
Or we will have 100,000's of thousands dead. We don't have the Hospital or ICU beds for 6 month peak if only 20% of the US population gets it. Which experts think is low.

I don't know how our economy is going to handle it. But something has to give.
Also, a vaccine is a year to 18 months away....

It will likely take at least a year for a Covid-19 vaccine to be approved and made available to patients;
So are you implying that at a given time 20% of the population will have it all at the same time OR over the course of 6 months 20% of people may contract it and truthfully, the majority won't require hospitalization but will have contracted the virus?
That's a very vague number and hypothetical stat. See below.
"Even in a best-case scenario, with cases of coronavirus spread out over 18 months, American hospital beds would be about 95% full. (This assumes that hospitals don?t free up already occupied beds or add more beds, as some elected officials have called for.) Some regions would have the capacity to handle the surge in hospitalizations without adding new beds or displacing other patients."

So the stats are based off no one recovering and opening a bed for a new patient to move in and also NO new beds being added to what we have currently.

I don't trust any map that has 2 Africas on it*
Here's something scary. I watched something on the flu pandemic of 1918 that talked about how that flu strain mutated in the summer and came back worse in the fall.
If hunkered down means working from home and all my kids there, I think I'll survive. Damn sure beats traveling all over all the time and that two hours of driving to the office. How about people use the time to do things at home with family and enjoy it? Life doesn't slow down. You better take advantage when it does.
