* @michelleinbklyn @nytimes great op ed on key q& #39; of our time: When will life return to normal? No one knows, but most likely #COVID19 will be major health/econ dislocation, getting back to normal by early 2022. Why 2 year span? What does normal look like?

Best model is flu pandemics & many, including 1918, suggest 2 year span. #COVID19 will follow epidemic curve. #SARSCoV2 will NOT go away. We& #39;ll live w/ it for generations. But we& #39;ll learn to gradually manage by combo of 1) immune memory from mounting cases, 2) vaccines, 3) Rx
Two key misconceptions re #COVID19: 1) It& #39;ll just end like #SARS or #Ebola. These viruses were so lethal they killed their hosts. #SARSCoV2 spreads rapidly, also asymptomatically and it isn& #39;t highly lethal. It will be with us for generations & we& #39;ll learn to live with it.
