How is it surprising that a thing that DIDN'T EXIST last year is not figured out? Medicine at the best of times and with all our technology still works at a snails pace. Vaccine research is underway and things are promising but they've said from the start that at best that's potentially two years away. Using newer science may speed that up but it's not a guarantee. Until then people have to prevent spread and the frontline is you, me and everyone else who can prevent the spread through distancing and hand hygiene and YES mask wearing as much as possible. Doctors and nurses (and respiratory techs) have reduced mortality with what tools are available to them and without proper protective gear in some circumstances. We're getting a better handle on treatment week to week but as one doctor I listen to put it this week this is the first half of the first inning in a 9-inning baseball game.</p></blockquote><p></p>
