BUT...
As many experts have reminded us, it will take about 12-18 months AT BEST to have a vaccine.
Many viral diseases like polio, flu, chicken pox, hepatitis, etc. took many years, even decades, to manage with an effective and affordable vaccine. We will have to put in a community of resources --- time, scientists, governments, funds, cooperation and goodwill, etc. --- to invent another "miracle" of science.
We need unity in diversity.
AND...
To be philosophical about this collective pandemic experience, it makes me appreciate how wonderful it is to be alive and how truly worth saving humanity is. Because what is the other path? Death? Despair? Descent into chaos?
Wasn't pestilence one of the four horsepersons of the apocalypse?
