Do you believe we're coming out of the epidemic or is the worst yet to come?

Today Mike Pence said: “I truly do believe that if we all continue to do that kind of social distancing and other guidance broadly from federal and state officials, that we’re going to put this coronavirus in the past. I believe by early June we’re going to see our nation largely past this epidemic."

But leading infectious disease expert Michael Osterholm said two days ago we're only in the second inning of a nine-inning contest, with the possibility of as many as 800,000 deaths or more in the US over the next 18 months.

Who do you believe? Who can you believe?

I think we won't really know one way or another until fall. I want to believe we won't be dealing with this shit in the fall but history has shown with pandemics that the second waves can be worse. I am hoping that we will come up with some good treatment protocols and that everyone will come together to stop the spread worldwide.
