A strong “V”-shaped recovery starting in the third quarter seems optimistic to say the least. Not only does this assume we’ll have this under control by then, but also that we’ll have a plan to get back to business as usual without a vaccine and the virus still roaming free. twitter.com/edwardnh/statu…

@ahcastor It seems to be possible to get reinfected and then it’s even deadlier. nypost.com/2020/02/19/whi… Regardless of how this develops, there’s certainly no evidence that those who get it and recover are immune afterward.
