Hey, We Can Turn Bat Soup Virus Around In 2-3 Weeks If Everyone Does Their Part. Or 6 Weeks. Maybe

Goal posts keep moving. We did what we were asked (and told): social distance, wash hands, get locked down. Now

US Surgeon General Jerome Adams says the US can turn coronavirus around in ‘2 or 3 weeks if everyone does their part’

US Surgeon General Jerome Adams says the US could turn around its novel coronavirus infections in two to three weeks if “everyone does their part” by following official recommendations like social distancing and use of face coverings.

Adams appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, two days after the US recorded more than 65,000 COVID-19 infections, its most in a single day. Adams said that despite sharp rises in states across the country, if Americans follow guidelines en masse, the US could see near-immediate decreases in infections.

“So just as we’ve seen cases skyrocket, we can turn this thing around in two to three weeks if we can get a critical mass of people wearing face coverings, practicing at least 6 feet of social distancing, doing the things that we know are effective,” Adams said.

Just 2-3 weeks, right?

CDC Director Robert Redfield: If Everyone Wore a Mask for Next 6 Weeks We Could Drive Pandemic ‘Into the Ground’

During a press conference on Monday afternoon the Director for the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, continued with the theme of pleading with Americans to put on a mask to stymie the spread of COVID-19. He said that, if everyone complied with said pleading, then “over the next six weeks we could drive [the virus] into the ground.”

The reward for such a proposition certainly seems tantalizing (and relatively easy) for the average citizen (even if it ultimately doesn’t work), though it’s likely to fall on millions of deaf ears rendering that timeline into an unattainable pipe dream. Maybe it’s best ,you know, for your sanity, if you just prep yourself for indefinite lockdown.

The first article is from Sunday. The second was published on Monday. So, which is it? What comes next? I think we all understand that COVID19 seems to constantly be changing, regardless of whether came from eating bats or something or released from the center in Wuhan. Everytime we have a guidance it seems to change. California was one of the most locked down states, and now they are re-locking everything down.

What will they think of next? Will this suddenly disappear the day after election day?
