Now Science Works

I like science. It is so much more interesting than politics and so very much less predictable. COVID-19 is A (one of many) variation on Coronaviruses. Would you like to understand why we know the following with absolute certainty? While we cannot predict the properties of new variants we know new variants will develop in the future!
Here is an interesting blast from the past:
CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY REVIEWS, Oct. 2007, p. 660–694: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (Usual Caveat) as an Agent of Emerging and Reemerging Infection.
Happy reading,

so there's going to be a COVID-20?
swell.
By why would you expect it to be worse?
You have to admit that we now know how to handle
new viral outbreaks better than in the past.
I look to how China has handled COVID-19. They certainly have learned from their past experiences with the SARS 2002-2003 outbreak. They hit the COVID-19 with a massive hammer once they had determined it's nature - it was treated as an existential threat to the country. I can't think of any other nation capable of responding so quickly. The top down hierarchical structure of the CCP government was conducive to this not only rapid but also extremely effective response.
When properly staffed
this is what my colleagues do.
Sooooo, what do you think went wrong?
