As countries tentatively begin to relax lockdown restrictions in bids to revive their economies, many questions remain about the novel coronavirus and its effect on people. Here are 10 major questions about the virus that are still unanswered.

TORONTO -- As countries tentatively begin to relax lockdown restrictions in bids to revive their economies, many questions remain about the novel coronavirus and its effect on people.

And, although quarantined individuals are eagerly anticipating a return to normalcy, researchers say the answers to questions about how that will happen could still be many months away.HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INFECTED? Jude Uzonna, an immunologist and infectious diseases researcher at the University of Manitoba, said there is now evidence that children are experiencing widespread and systemic inflammatory response syndrome, which is similar to an inflammatory illness called Kawasaki disease.

“If you and I both got exposed to COVID-19, maybe I end up in the ICU with very severe disease and you get the sniffles and don’t even go to get tested because you’re not aware you're sick,” he said. “We don't know what the reasons are for that discrepancy if we’re both exposed to the same virus.

“That’s often a problem because you’ll be testing someone and they’ll still be positive, but maybe they’re not shedding virus anymore.”claiming to show the coronavirus has mutated into more virulent strains; however, Kozak said that is still not certain. “So what we don’t know with patients, will there be a syndrome of like a viral syndrome, which occurs in patients after they’ve recovered from COVID?” he asked.

“I don’t think it’s related to genetics because if you look in the U.S., the majority of the people who die are African Americans. I don’t think the African American have changed so significantly over time so there must be something that we don’t know yet,” he said.Because the flu is considered a seasonal illness that affects more people in the colder months, some people have wondered if the coronavirus will follow the same trajectory and weaken in the summer.

“Experts” 😂

“Experts”... from China.

What we do know it will kill about the same as a bad flu year and shut downs did nothing.

We're all agreed though the important thing was lessen Trump's re-election chances. 🙂

Can you add 'how many people will die from implications of isolation, depression, etc due to the quarantine of healthy people?'. Is pressuring our gov't for a cure?

Why did bill gates release this virus ? Can anyone answer this ?
