@Robin4 Yes, agreed, that's why I said it would be great if it works, without any dangerous side effects. As far as herd immunity, I don't know why people are talking about it as if it's a viable solution- I haven't read anything thus far that even suggests that they have determined whether getting the virus once confers immunity. People can certainly get the regular influenza over and over again-- that's why people line up for flu shots every year.
Yeah, what's scary is that people are wanting to jump the gun too quickly- if they start lifting isolation and distancing orders and opening borders too soon, before there's an effective vaccine, it will just prolong the whole thing and we'll have to stay home even longer. If ustralia went down to no more cases, people could stop isolating, but the borders need to stay closed until there's a vaccine or the virus dies out.
Those of us who are basically homebodies, who spend most of our time doing projects around the house, gardening, etc, are having a much easier time with the isolation, I imagine, than those who are used to being out and about all the time. I can imagine for those people, especially if they live in an apartment with no outside private space, it's pretty difficult.
