A WHO official is now stating the obvious. This pandemic may never go away. I believe he is right. Until their is herd immunity and the virus lessens their will not be a safe time. Vaccines may or may work as viruses are great morphers. We see that yearly in the flu. The flu vaccine is always based on the prior years strains but they not be the same ones this year. Staying at home was great for flattening the curve but terrible for immunity. Last week another 3 million americans filed for unemployment. That makes a total of about 37 million now out of work.

Gallup, New Mexico, is a hot bed of Corona. The roads in and out are closed. At Gallup's Rehoboth McKinley Christian Hospital the staff is in a tizzy due to the gross mismanagement of the hospital. They say that people are dying due to the problems. They have a declaration of no confidence in the CEO David Conejo. They have gone to the board with their problems with the CEO.
