Is everybody enjoying the madness and chaos as much as your ever-loving dysfunctional Uncle Len? Why, even my cockroaches, with whom I share my luxury abode of the shed of life in which I live, keep their distance from me. We all keep in different areas of the sheds, glaring at each other until we get bored, or hungry, or need to pee. Anyway, I digress even before getting to my topic to digress from, which must be some sort of record, even for me:

“A new Harvard study released Tuesday on the novel coronavirus is evoking a feeling of disbelief at the possibility that strict social distancing measures may be required to combat the disease for years to come. Well, at least it is for me. Look at the study below and ask yourself, can you socially distance for years in an effort to fight this virus if no vaccine or therapeutic treatment works? The new modeling study warns that ‘intermittent’ periods of social distancing may be required until the year 2022 in the United States, in order to combat any surge in the virus that could overwhelm the health care system. “To avoid this, prolonged or intermittent social distancing may be necessary into 2022,” states the studies abstract. “Additional interventions, including expanded critical care capacity and an effective therapeutic, would improve the success of intermittent distancing and hasten the acquisition of herd immunity. Longitudinal serological studies are urgently needed to determine the extent and duration of immunity to SARS-CoV-2. Even in the event of apparent elimination, SARS-CoV-2 surveillance should be maintained since a resurgence in contagion could be possible as late as 2024.”
