This all started with one person, November 17th 2019. By mid March 2020 the world was shut down. So we literally have to be sure there are 0 cases in a country before it can unlock again. And before international travel can really begin again we need to be sure there are 0 cases in the world.

None of that really seems doable for all but the smallest countries. So the answer is herd immunity, either through contracting the virus, or via a vaccine.

I'd appreciate if you can provide more info or a link for the Nov. 17 date. My links only go back to Dec. 1 so far. Thanks!
