The contrast with the US in government response is astonishing
Key learnings so far:
-- droplet transmission (direct and indirect); surface contamination;
-- small group contamination, close-quarters interaction;
---- open air, low humidity, direct sunlight = major virus killers;
-- little evidence of asymptomatic transmission;
-- the new normal: background presence of the virus in the community;
---- vaccine not likely in less than 1 year;
-- no non-essential travel.
-- the virus is here to stay until at least the end of the year.
