We are just rehashing discussions and arguments that have already been 
worn out in other media. Boring already.

Even if there is a second wave when the lock-downs are eased, at that 
time the health-care system will have more experience of covid-19 and 
how it should be treated -- Remdesivir, proning, early measurement of 
blood oxygenation, etc. Outcomes will be better.
