I have a dear friend who was a very high ranking medical officer in a large pharmaceutical company tell me the virus is much more of an airborne threat than they realized.

I see no chance for a football season this year, and without maintenance drugs for this virus (it's likely beyond a vaccine) we might not have one in 2021 either. The virus is re-emerging in patients who have gotten over it and had tested negative. That could likely mean that it has the capability of hiding in the brain like HIV and Herpes, neither of which can be cured, only controlled. If this is indeed the case its impact is going to be of a much longer duration than first expected.

In the meantime we'll keep our fingers crossed that these patients were merely re-infected from an outside source. But, these kinds of cases are being reported in multiple nations, and we lost a medal of honor winner to a recurrence in Auburn this week.
