Santa Cruz, 0403F: Yesterday, I clearly felt two distinct sets of universes. In one set, the world is in a state of crisis and fear due to a novel coronavirus that is causing a fast spreading pandemic of deadly respiratory disease. In the other set, the world is in a state of peace and prosperity. I can sense wormholes connecting to the two sets of universes.
One of the wormholes I sense is there is a novel coronavirus circulating the world, and it is as deadly and infectious as it is in this universe, but the degree of news and fear around the coronavirus varies from one side of the wormhole to the other.
Another one of the wormholes I sense is there is a novel coronavirus circulating the world, and it is feared as it is in this universe, but the degree of deadliness and infectiousness varies from one side of the wormhole to the other.
A third wormhole I sense is there is a novel coronavirus circulating the world, and it is as deadly and infectious as it is in this universe, and it is feared as it is in this universe, but the degree of beneficial action people and governments are taking varies from one side of the wormhole to the other. The beneficial action involves things such as social/physical distancing to slow the spread, manufacturing of PPE for health workers and masks for everyone, financial support for individuals and businesses affected by the shelter-in-place orders, widespread testing and surveillance of the disease, investigations of treatment options to reduce mortality rates, and development of vaccines to decrease the chance of a future outbreaks in the following years.
In the figure above, testing of the four human coronaviruses is plotted for a 3-year period. It can be seen that testing peaked at around 10K tests/week and the percent of these tests that were positive for one coronavirus or another totaled around 10% during the winter season.
