So who is right? Those who intentionally infect or fear infection in schools? What are the effects of the virus on children? What do we know after a year and a half of illness, and a few more months of infection with the delta strain? What can we expect with back to school at best, or partying at worst?

When the next dangerous virus is released into the world's air, it will find a deep moat courtesy of science that will make it possible to understand its operation, and a wall in the form of technology that will stop it. The way the virus works will be deciphered within a day. The drugs and vaccines will be developed within a week, with minimal clinical trials thanks to the precision of the cell and body simulations.
