    That is the scary thing about this bug.l Its mutation rate is unexpected and the current medical solutions are struggling to keep up with it. The strains of the virus is likely to mutate into regional cultures at different parts of the globe. You may be right here to say treatment is where the solution lies. I think anything that can be done to arrest the rate of mutation would provide the basis for a vaccine based solution to curb the spread.

    By the look of things, it may well take a few years to arrive at a vaccine. The reality is that the world is not going to be on lockdown for that sort of duration. Economies would collapse and a huge global financial crisis would ensue.

    Also, most doctors fighting the COVID-19 virus seem to think that the patients are dying from secondary causes such as the practices employed in the intensive care units. Whatever that means, it is bad news to be infected in the first place. The popular argument in the halls of politics is to improve the procedures in the hospitals and test people regularly, mortatlity rate would drop.
