Hard hit New York City begins reopening as coronavirus infection rate plummets - Reuters

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Exactly 100 days after the first coronavirus case was confirmed in New York City, some workers began returning to jobs on Monday at the start of reopening from a citywide shutdown to battle the epidemic that killed nearly 22,000 of its residents.

People who had been staying home for months boarded subways and buses as the most populous U.S. city began Phase One of its hopeful journey toward economic recovery.
=====================================================================
NYC & other major metro areas will be changed dramatically. Non-essential work places like theaters & restaurants will remain closed. The Stock Exchange & many office towers will seem empty as Zoom & telecommuting replace elbow-to-elbow work spaces & crowded elevators. And a second wave can be expected within months.

My personal belief is that a safe & effective vaccine for COVID-19 will remain elusive. I've spent 2+ months studying the biology of the coronaviruses & they have evolved to elude the immunity generated by vaccines. Anti-viral drugs like camostat & nafamostat that block infection are safer bets & are already in clinical trials.
