Social distancing pretty much guarantees another wave of infection will happen when it ends. Flattening the curve is the objective, but that is all social distancing will do based upon humans not wanting to social distance for very long. No pandemic has been stopped by social distancing.
Perhaps additional waves will be dealt with better than the current strategy.
with very very very few single exceptions,
none of todays alife humans had to deal with any Pandemic like this, ever.
so no pandemic been handled, let alone stopped by anything, including social distancing.
social distancing does not guarante other "waves", it is simply the by now Only tool at hand to "control" teh ups/downs of daily/weekly new infections.
it would be great to have other tools to choose, but til now i did not her about anything to be added to the tool box.
it is all new for todays alife humans,
so we have to be patient and flexibel, instead of shouting out loud "I know my constitutional rights, I don't allow anybody to tell me to wear a mask or wash my ahnds with 70% alcohol containing liquids several times per day, nobody tells me how close i can be to others on the street, at a bar, in a pool, at work ..".
economy shut downs and Curfews have to go away,
but they only can if we all (at least a mayority, to cover for the usual irresponsible nuckleheads) are willing to be flexibel.
the more we do so, the earlier we will have found a "new normal" acceptable for a while under the given Focking BS situation.
nobody knows today what will be next month or christmas 2020.
who would have thought mid March 2020 that there will not be any Easter Bunny 2020, just 3 weeks later ??
Now we have to give by common sence a nd personal flexibility OUR OWN BEST POSSIBLE,
to get the Easter Bunny back and for the 1st time in history celebrate it together with that Jesus Kiddo end 202.
I have a Ester Choco Bunny safed to eat on dec 24th.
hopefully we will have better ideas and waaaay better agreements on this planet about our future life together, with this one of many Corona Viruses.
