We are going to have a test between places that take the economic hit to stop CORVID-19 and those that take their chances. We are going to see how CORVID-19 acts with respect to extreme heat (India, a country infamously vulnerable to infectious diseases, has its highest temperatures in April before the monsoon season).
If I could script a movie about a disaster, the people who act rashly by putting economic gain and personal hedonism above safety are the ones who get killed and those who foster such are disgraced; the people who take necessary care usually survive. That may not be quite how life works ... but I would do everything to deter any youth from going on any Spring Break this year. (The Governor of Florida has said that he would do nothing to stop the hurricane party... excuse me, the perfect activity for making his state the hub for a CORVID-19 outbreak).
