Published July 25, 2020
In July 2020 the coronavirus case and death counts were far higher than the recorded numbers. Many cases were unrecorded; and covid-19 deaths were often attributed to other causes.
Without a drug therapy or vaccine covid-19 is here to stay – at least for a while. Most of humanity will remain vulnerable to infection – everyone if immunity turns out to be transient.
Epidemiologists know about covid-19. You can catch it indoors, in crowds and when people raise their voices. The poor, elderly and those with underlying health problems (heart conditions, diabetes) are vulnerable. Infections are destined to soar with seasonal change.
Epidemiologists know how to contain covid-19. Testing, tracing and isolation are crucial. Lockdown is a drastic measure if all else fails.
Practical experience has resulted in improved treatments. Therapies are available.
Business has adapted. Factories stagger shifts. Plastic protectors shield staff. Personal contact has been minimized.
What eventuates over the coming months and years depends on the management of the disease by governments and societies.
Opening up social and economic activity after a lockdown requires sensible behavior and trade-offs. Large gatherings of people are out. Social distancing has to be practiced. Schools can only reopen in a covid safe environment.
Opening up too soon will result in outbreaks that delay everything including economic recovery. Slow learning humanity will be forced to learn the hard way from its misguided, disastrous mistakes.
Living with covid-19 successfully requires behavior change. You have to change your behavior. Social distancing and wearing a mask helps stop the disease. Thorough handwashing kills the virus. But old habits die hard and a new habit is hard to establish.
Wearing a mask is chiefly about protecting others. If you’re young, fit and asymptomatic you’re being asked to do things that shield the old and infirm.
Living with covid-19 isn’t easy. No parties, no beaching, no shopping and that isn’t normal. And being cooped up can encourage the development of misguided ideas and an impulsive, devil-may-care attitude. People have to get back to work.
Much depends on who and what you believe. Many people don’t believe in science or their politicians. Many blindly believe what their reckless leaders say. You might think they’re a menace to society. Social media is rife with misinformation. People believe what they feel. There’s not much reasoned thought going on. Humanity’s fortunes are at best a high risk gamble.
You can’t afford to relax or lose interest in covid-19. It’s social and economic impact will be devastating. Its scars will be deep and very long lasting.

Previous pandemics unfolded in ‘waves’ of infections. After the initial outbreak subsides fresh outbreaks recur and covid-19 could follow a similar pattern.

Chances are you’re looking back on your pre-covid life as the good ole days. You crave routine, order, certainty and predictability and covid-19 disturbed your status quo – big time. But while covid-19 sticks around your daily life will never get back to the way it was. Your old normal has been superseded by a new normal which seems so abnormal. So you’re probably hankering for your old safe and predictable normal daily life. Hopefully you’ll get it soon, but there are troublesome bumps on the road ahead in 2020-2021.
