The more we know about the virus the better, the longer it takes before you get it the better chance of survival.
Early in New York you had a 1 in 3 chance of survival if you where intubated. Now they know to wait as long as you can before intubation.
A month ago there was no drug they could give you to help. Now they have 1, and more will likely come on stream as time progresses.
By autumn they might have the deathrate down to flulike proportions, Hopefully before the normal flu season starts again in the western world. Then we can go back to normal.
But with some you can't win. If you keep much open and many dies, like Sweden, you didn do enough to limit suffering. If you lock everything down people are concluding that since not enough died it is not so serious so why do they have to suffer economically.
In the meantime airlines can do their outmost to not become the new hotbed of contamination. Just like every other business have to. Why should airlines be allowed to cram them in when restaurants, bars, supermarkets and hirdressers aren't allowed to. They all also would make (more) money if they could carry on as before.
