Hopefully we will have a better ability to test for the virus in the near future. That way we can quarantine those who have it (and close contacts) rather than everyone.
Social distancing is here to stay for much more than a few weeks. It will upend our way of life, in some ways forever.
To stop coronavirus we will need to radically change almost everything we do: how we work, exercise, socialize, shop, manage our health, educate our kids, take care of family members.
We all want things to go back to normal quickly. But what most of us have probably not yet realized—yet will soon—is that things won’t go back to normal after a few weeks, or even a few months. Some things never will.
In the short term, this will be hugely damaging to businesses that rely on people coming together in large numbers: restaurants, cafes, bars, nightclubs, gyms, hotels, theaters, cinemas, art galleries, shopping malls, craft fairs, museums, musicians and other performers, sporting venues (and sports teams), conference venues (and conference producers), cruise lines, airlines, public transportation, private schools, day-care centers. That’s to say nothing of the stresses on parents thrust into home-schooling their kids, people trying to care for elderly relatives without exposing them to the virus, people trapped in abusive relationships, and anyone without a financial cushion to deal with swings in income.
One thing I hope lasts forever.......increased and more effective handwashing, then maybe there won't be so much e-coli on everything we touch and there will be far fewer cases of the common cold and flu.

well the one thing this is proving is that we don't need brick and mortar schools....on line schooling is great, my kids love it, and I think they are learning more

I think with better testing, effective treatments once you have it and a preventative vaccine, we could get back to normal.
