The good news is we are better able to fight a new virus in this day and age because today, we have more technology, we have ventilators among other new ways to help patients recover from any illness. Eventually, scientists will develop treatment and a vaccine for COVID-19 much like they have for the flu. And Wells adds that eventually, people will get tougher, too, in the fight against coronavirus. She says, “Over time, we will get more and more people who have been infected with it, and they will have some immunity. But until that happens, the only way to stop this is to slow it down through social distancing.”
