We need to start preparing for the assumption that this pandemic may last quite a while.
Since we are not willing to risk returning to normal life, at least not yet, we need to consider how to operate in social distancing mode.
Distance learning and working for those who can may become more routine.
Obviously some things require people to be present and perhaps protective gear such as masks can reduce infections.
It isn't much of a stretch to require masks in public once we have enough to go around.
How effective they are is more the question.
We have elections coming up and certainly with a little imagination we can do that safely.
At home voting, masks and social distancing with extended voting hours can certainly give everyone an opportunity to participate.
Perhaps all of this will simply pass before then, but maybe it won't.
I guess there is a bit of a silver lining in some of this as pollution and carbon emissions are way down at least temporarily.
Not the ideal way to approach that problem, but they say the effect in noticeable in China and Italy.
