The only hope I can see is that if people can't get infected twice, then herd immunity might be reached within 2 years. Unfortunately it is starting to look like people can get infected twice as antibodies fade quickly (I guess we'll find out over the next few months).
Heard immunity is the last remedy one should ever hope for concerning this virus. It would mean 10s of millions infected and millions dead. Not to mention all those who will take medical problems caused by it into the future.
The only way this can be controlled is for government to actually act on it and stop with the hand gestures. People no longer need to be warned, they need to be threatened. It will take the people to control this with proper mask wearing, social distancing, washing hands, and transparency. The government needs to get off their hands and become proactive instead of making excuses and turning a blind eye to reality.
Green, yellow, red? So what? Reality is that this virus is sweeping across Indonesia and the government doesn't want to admit it because they want economy first. Too stupid to face the facts that this virus is what has hurt the economy and it is going to get worse. Much worse. There are numerous areas that need a shut down at least for a month. Close regional, district, city boarders. Get into the areas where things just are not reported and dig for honest answers. Too many areas have people dying and never reported due to lack of medical resources or the stigma some have given the disease like not being buried where you want.
Indonesia can continue infrastructure projects but won't implement widespread testing. It seems like when it comes to PPEs, testing supplies, and ventilators, Indonesia is just sitting back waiting for another country to donate them. If and when a vaccine is available, it will be a crazy time and the program to administer it will be much less than adequate as is most of the programs when implemented.
Now they report at least 72 doctors dead from the virus. How many nurses and related medical personnel have also died? If you lose this many in the medical fields, how does this relate to actual patient care. Poorly I am afraid. If medical personnel are becoming positive, how many people are they in contact with prior to their getting symptoms? If medical personnel are not being protected, you can be assured patients are not being attended to properly.
This disease is out of control in many nations and one simply can look at the leadership of those nations as the primary reason for the disaster. Now, the nations who had had good leadership are starting to see some resurgence and fingers can easily be pointed to opening up boarders even in limited ways.
Unfortunate so many people are so lazy and self centered to be proactive in fighting this. I am 69 and while one may say, on my way out, I am going to try to not hit the exit door in a crowd of idiots. If I can side step that exit for awhile, I will so if that means wearing a mask, social distancing, carrying around hand sanitizer, and not traveling for awhile, no problem. While I may not end up successful in my quest to avoid this virus, I will feel peace that I was not involved in spreading it to others.
