You're likely to get the corona virus [View all]

Great article by The Atlantic about Covid 19. It’s a quick 10 minute read and provides great insight to the disease and it’s spread:

From epidemiologist in the article: “ Lipsitch is far from alone in his belief that this virus will continue to spread widely. The emerging consensus among epidemiologists is that the most likely outcome of this outbreak is a new seasonal disease—a fifth “endemic” coronavirus. With the other four, people are not known to develop long-lasting immunity. If this one follows suit, and if the disease continues to be as severe as it is now, “cold and flu season” could become “cold and flu and COVID-19 season.”
