We will be stuck in an endless cycle of lockdown/release, & daily deaths increasing/decreasing as we deal with first wave, then second, then third. Like groundhog day until we establish a robust 'test, trace, isolate' system supported by soft physical distancing measures.

Few paths ahead:
1. Wait for vaccine & put in short-term plan (test/trace/isolate or lockdown cycles)
2. No vaccine but we 'live' with this virus using antivirals, rapid diagnostics & other measures
3. Nat'l elimination w/border control or eradication. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/apr/08/how-will-the-coronavirus-crisis-end-lockdown-pandemic
