Discussed:
• The ‘Prevention Paradox’: When people get upset about economic closures because they don’t see cases impacting their community. Therefore prevention is working well for those communities and reopening would be dangerous.
• Good leaders don’t use this crisis as a political opportunity.
• Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, is well suited to handle the crisis because she is a scientist who understands the numbers.
• Pangolin is not necessarily the intermediate host.
• Summer season thought to result in a negligible reduction in cases.
