Once we have a vacc and vast innoculations, we can start to clear the fog.
Until then, I would expect it will just continue to simmer with some peaks and valleys across states.
The most disturbing thing about the whole show is stupidity in government. Orders given that actually do more harm than good. Perfectly sensible measures totally ignored. And that's not Trump. Trump knows nothing, can be expected to know nothing. He can only rely on "Experts" who have political ties to the old order of governance. Trump doesn't have the political power to just overthrow all that. And if he did, likely he would just do worse, not better.
The most significant things we can do involve HVAC systems. The shields at business counters are pretty good, but without HVAC filtration and uv light disinfection, it's not actually effective. The business counters can be remodeled to install uv disinfection light from above and below, so cards and cash and paperwork gets disinfected on the spot.
Lots of stupid orders closing swimming pools, which with chlorine as normally used, constitutes a disinfection bath, good for everyone.
homes, apartments, businesses, schools, offices, stores..... the works..... all need disinfection/filtration in the HVAC ducts.
Put down as babe's wise saying..... government is incompetent in everything it does. Better to let people do what they know for themselves.
