Fighting the pandemic in 2020: what works and what doesn’t?

But humanity (and life in general) has an incredible capacity for adaptation. Give the fish land: in a few hundred million years you will learn to crawl, to cultivate fur, feathers and other “tools”. Give the bacteria an antibiotic: you will “learn” to fight it in a few days and teach your relatives more. People are somewhere in between in terms of speed of adaptation – they contracted a pandemic, found antidotes for it in less than a year, and learned countless other ways to combat that pandemic.

Let’s take a look at the effective measures that humanity has already discovered against a new enemy that has spread at an astonishing rate, where it has slammed its forehead against the wall, and where there is still room and opportunities to learn.

Well, when it comes to learning space, they are and always will be and in almost every direction. We still do not have masks that are guaranteed and unequivocally protect against infection, we do not have a tablet that can cure COVID-19 of any severity with just one dose, we do not know how to remove lung scars with fingers, which will not disappear even after the official recovery. We don’t have a magic beam weapon that removes the virus from the air. And when this pandemic ends, it will be necessary to create barriers and fuses so that the next pandemic (which it really will be, but does not know when) does not hit snowmen like snow.

But what did we learn?
