Column: When will it be safe to go out in central Maine?

MORNING SENTINEL • April 9, 2020

COVID-19 may or may not “go away” within a month or two. Before this winter, no one had immunity to the illness. It is not known if there is even such a thing as immunity to it. We won’t know until we cycle through this and find out who gets sick in the next round and who doesn’t. It is not known for sure whether a vaccine will work. The pandemic could subside during the summer. There could be a vaccine we can all get. And then it could be safe to go out again. But get yourself ready mentally. This could be a really long haul. ~ Dana Wild
