It seems that flare ups will happen everywhere. And then lock downs happen again.
Until we have an accessible antibody test to identify who is immune (which no one knows how long) that the spreading will never end until a vaccine is ready.
The math seems not to be in our favor.

Like Trickle-Down Economics, the problem is we keep trying to stop the spread of the disease. Unless everybody is dead, how will we know that it's working?
