> If Coronavirus becomes like the normal flu, where seasonal vaccines offer only partial coverage[2]--social distancing will become something people get very good at and want to maximize the bounds of experience in.
There's no way that social distancing or shelter in place becomes a seasonal norm of any kind. Maybe some people will wear masks more often and we'll shake hands less. That's about it.
Would you please share what makes you confident to say this? The reason I ask is that the director of the CDC just said the fall will be worse than it is now. [1]
What specific medical changes will occur such that this will be "fixed" by next season?
My point was that we're not going to be social distancing and sheltering in place year after year if the coronavirus becomes a normal seasonal thing like the flu. Maybe we'll do it in the fall, we will not be doing it every year after that. It's not going to happen.
