    Probably not, so long as people continue to flout social distancing guidelines.

    The virus doesn't care what your political affiliation is.

    Hard to see this disappearing by September when things like this are happening: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/26/u...ronavirus.html

    It will fizzle out like all the others. Not if, but when.

    Bank on it.

    Because you said so? Because you told me to count on it? Sorry, doesn't work that way. Viruses disappear when they have no more targets to infect. That happens with social distancing or herd immunity (almost certainly in this case via a vaccine). The virus itself is very unlikely to 'go away'. It isn't magic. It's science.

    You know very well they exist. You know it and I know it.



    Fact based discussion. No one here is here for that. You must be 12 years old.

    It will fade away.

    Like SARs, MERs, Ebola, the flu every single year.

    Rinse and repeat.

    Nope. I am here for that. Maybe you are just here to troll, but that's boring. You can participate or not, that's up to you. But wishful thinking that counters everything we know about viruses is not fact based. I reject your posit No one is willing to die or go broke to get Trump out of office, especially given that he was likely to lose even before this started.

    "You know it and I know it"

    Again, a very Trumpian statement. You are free to speak for yourself, but not for me. I know no such thing. I asked you provide some proof, and you were unable or unwilling to do so.

    The flu does not disappear every single year. A different strain may be prevalent, but they don't go away. The number of cases drops during the summer months, the following winter, multiple strains are likely to take hold. That's why the flu vaccine changes every year. But these are not 'new' viruses. I guess at this point, you are simply trolling by repeating unsubstantiated claims. Carry on.

    It is amazing that some don’t understand the effects of social distancing. NYC would be the perfect example with its high population density, virus hit, numbers escalated, and when they went into lockdown and followed social distancing guidelines the numbers gradually declined, without such, they’d have astronomical numbers today

    What strikes me is that this is the first real generational crisis America has experienced since WWII, it effects all Americans equally, and yet, a large percentage of the population are bitching after three months cause they can’t eat in a restaurant, to the gym, hang at the beach, or even wear a mask when they are out in public. It makes you wonder how they would have reacted during a crisis as WWII with such as rations and curfews
