Possible mitigating factors with the current world situation include the seeming decrease in infections in Asia after only a few months despite billions of remaining potential victims and the real possibility that a currently existing antiviral drug could be found to be helpful in decreasing death from Coronavirus. That is my greatest hope right now.
Wow. I hope I’m not wrong but your post seems very hopeful to me. Thank you for that.
