I'm looking at scenario three, as the most viable scenario - of course in conjunction with other options.

The countries most likely to produce a vaccination or the anti viral drug to combat this SARS-CoV-2 are the countries that normally sit atop the Nobel podium in Medicine or Chemistry.

In my opinion, these are the countries best positioned to come with a "solution" to "arrest" this virulent virus:
1. The U.S
2. Japan
3. France
4. Germany
5.Switzerland

China and India would be the two wild cards.

It'll end when Trump gets re-elected. Hats off to his strategist a psychotic genius.

This isolation is giving me time to work through my demons. .. asking God for forgiveness, holding tightly to the core of who I am.

Insert Israel in that list. They probably have some things in those lines that are not even entered in Nobel nominations.

For sure, you're absolutely right about Israel, a country that belongs smack in my second-tier as far as winning Nobel prizes in Medicine Sciences and Chemistry. And, of course, many of our own here past and present Nobel winners are probably dual American-Israeli or Israeli American.

Actually add the U.K just above Japan on that list. Eventually notwithstanding the nationalistic grandstanding, the best way to defeat the virus will entail information sharing across Labs and across borders; cooperation and collaboration being the only way forward.

As we speak, I see FujiFilm - yes, you read that right the Japanese maker of cameras and film rolls- with a new drug Avigan.

An interesting if long take.  At the end, drugs for an already overmedicated population are pushed as the ultimate solution.  Especially the lucrative annually prescribed ones that somehow our ancestors never needed.

You forgot to add Bill Gates to this list.

Bill vaccinist Gates wishes human population go down to 500m before he's dead! Guy has been running coronavirus simulation for decades and even postulated it will take down 65million people!

Bill Vaccinist Gates. Nice name and true. Why are people going along with this evil scheme?

Bill Gates is plugging money into building factories for seven promising coronavirus vaccine candidates, even though it will mean wasting billions of dollars.

On Thursday's episode of "The Daily Show," the Microsoft billionaire told the host Trevor Noah that his philanthropic organization, the Gates Foundation, could mobilize faster than governments to fight the coronavirus outbreak.

"Because our foundation has such deep expertise in infectious diseases, we've thought about the epidemic, we did fund some things to be more prepared, like a vaccine effort," Gates said. "Our early money can accelerate things."

For a instant coffee generation, this corona disruption will really change the course of our lives in the lines of WWII. Economically, some will never recover. Calls for self sufficiency may work for mwafrika with revived manufacturing and agriculture. Govts with scarce external funding will be shaken to the core with collapsed businesses. Saving grace will be our majority (60 % -80) rural based economy/livelihood. This is a virus that is exposing the vulnerability of modernization and urbanization.

Health facilities will get a boost. Health practitioners may get the respect they deserve though in hotspots they are going to be decimated given failure of early warning systems and unnecessary exposure. Mentally, the panic and anxieties over unknowns will wear us out into collapsed asylums.

Socially, we may end up a more respectful and considerate bunch. Old timers living alone in developed world are being collected in numbers to be cremated or buried as they say 'like dogs'.

Politically, wow - some gradual shifts will be initiated - the peace without political nonsensical bickering is refreshing - their confinement in Africa will bear fruits - those terminally ill will be buried. Political scum will be exposed for who they are- shitty parasites!

Personally, I am internalizing that we are on basic survival mode for those not in the front-line and this will be for quite some time.

It's very disruptive no doubt.  I fear the virologists are becoming too big for their own britches.

I see a lot of positives - esp on remote working, remote schooling, telemedicine - the more this crisis stays - the more people stay home - the more they realize they don't really to be in any office - or anywhere - to get stuff done. Some careers will disappear forever if this crisis stays longer. New careers will emerge. New business will thrive.

I hope we wake up from crisis - and continue working or schooling mostly from our homes - and really start going to the work or school or hospital  or shopping - when our presences is essential.

This will not only boost work productivity - but quality of life will improve - with less traffic jams, commute stress, congestion in hospital, in supermarkets and in restraurants - when you can stay home and get nearly everything done.  People should only get out of their homes - to go for a run or to walk a dog or go to essential meetings or appointment their physical presence is absolutely necessary.

At minimum - I expect at least most companies to continue with flexitime - and if productivity doesn't suffer in this period - but actually improve - many will adopt work from anywhere.

2007/2008 gave us MPESA - and I know it's time for gov to ban cash - cash basically is unnecessary except to aid criminals, spread diseases, corruption and etc. I wish gov would just declare kenya is now cashless....many careers that carry and print cash...will disappear with it. Personally the last time I handled cash is like 3 weeks ago. Maybe we can keep small denominations...coins...have 5-100 shs coins - and remove the notes. This will make 200K mpesa and banking jobs disappear....but they will find something else to do...because..you won't need any banking or mpesa agent..everyone will be sending to each other MPESA or paying through MPESA. Gov can tax - small % of it - and tax collections will hit the roof.Tax cheats will have no where to hid - KRA will have full visibility. Black or informal economy will disappear.

It's in time like this that humanity moves forward...kenya internet infrastructure for example is not good enough....and we need to invest more on fiber...for the future. Many are savings lot of time and money working from home - in kenya - on average of 4hrs spend with family - instead of traffic - and lots of money saved from less trips - no parking fee - no pollution - no spreading diseases.

Damn - even churches are going online - as the default mode. I think what is needed is augmented reality kind of thing so many of these activities feel as real life as possible.

The digitization mirage will be deconstructed very soon. Shithole economies of hawking Chinese stuff cannot be digitized with our illiteracy even among youth population. The digital youths have little disposable income to spend and fuel the digitized economy while the wazee are stuck in mortal and brick. Corona by sinking brick and mortal does not necessary mean rise of digital bubbles. I see more youths going back to agriculture- most likely hustlers who have been at it for more than 10 years in our urban centres, once this disrupts their livelihoods for more than a month, they are never coming back to these urban centres.

Those online success stories about remote working and schooling are good for our non analytical journalists and elitist minority. Majority are using bundles for Facebook and WhatsApp.

I see our broke govt is still on taxes given so they would have taken the cashless idea seriously but they don't want such as the top dogs wont be geeting their cuts in gunia cash.
