than pretending it is no longer here - as far too many are doing.

Very low numbers of people wearing masks here, social distancing is minimal. That's how we help the virus explode.

(Hope is fine, too, and I'm glad to see scientists working on multiple fronts. BUT in our instant gratification society, there is far more risk that we will grab onto false hope and turn a blind eye to the reality that this is still a very infectious, very dangerous virus. And - there is no evidence yet that even with antibodies, the antibodies provide protection.)
