“Until there is either a “herd immunity” or a vaccine, that’s just how it is.”
The only other thing that will ease the problem is antiviral drugs like hydroxycholoquine or similar immunosuppressants.
From what I understand, most of the deaths that are occurring are not directly from the virus itself but from the response of our immune system to the virus. It goes crazy and start attacking not only the virus but normal cells as well, which lead to death. Kind of like an autoimmune response. They call it a cytokine storm.
By appropriately suppressing the immune system, you can keep it from destroying the good cells while still allowing it to develop antibodies that take care of the virus. After a while (a week or two) you can stop the immunosuppressant and you will be immune to the virus because you will have developed an immunity against it.
In other words the live virus itself will have acted like a vaccine, while the antiviral drugs protected you from your raging immune system.
Any word of the virus hitting
the Chinese military?
None?
How is that possible?
