Social Distancing Until Year 2022

US – Harvard researchers or experts in the United States says that intermittent or continued social distancing measures should be imposed and observe until year 2022 in the absence of  vaccine or treatment against COVID-19 as a way to contain the spread of virus on the United States unless there is already a vaccine or treatment available.

“ “Intermittent distancing may be required into 2022 unless critical care capacity is increased substantially or a treatment or vaccine become available,” Harvard researchers said in findings published Tuesday in the journal Science.” (NBC News)

“The US may have to endure social distancing measures – such as stay-at-home orders, and school closures – until 2022, researchers projected on Tuesday. That is, unless a vaccine or better therapeutics become available, or we increased our critical care capacity, in other words,2022 is one scenario of many. “ (CNN)

“The Harvard team’s projections also indicate that the virus would come roaring back fairly quickly once restrictions were lifted.” (CNN)

Lifting off lockdown especially or particularly, social distancing to go back to normal is critical since there is still no developed treatment, cure, vaccine, or drug against COVID-19. The lifting could probably brought a new wave of infections or new cases of the virus infection.

“As the economy cost of the pandemic mount, some government are under pressure to lift social distancing measures to get their countries back to work.” (We Forum)
