John Lennon's Imagine....and COVID-19



So I read this article in The Lancet Infectious Diseases yesterday,  a modeling study to mitigate early spread of SARS-CoV2. With lower infection scenarios, such as at the onset of the pandemic, a combined approach of quarantine, school closure and social distancing in the workplace could have prevented 99% of infections.

Of course, the COVID-19 pony is well out of the barn in the USA with greater than 130,00 deaths and counting.

Imagine if we had a coherent COVID-19 national policy, without an anti-science posture, with people collectively distancing and wearing masks for the greater good, where public health experts are not discredited and vilified, imagine all the people living life in peace, SARS CoV2 free.

People say that I am a dreamer, but (almost certainly) I'm not the only one.
