Ohio cryptic lineage update
> COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Viral researchers believe someone in central Ohio has been infected with COVID-19 for at least two years, and they want to find that person.<p>I believe this is why various lockdown strategies didn't work to eliminate COVID, even in very authoritarian places which can effectively enforce the lockdowns.<p>All it takes is one person to have a persistent 'forever infection' like this, and you will never eliminate the disease from your country.   Even if you lock down with no person to person contact for months, as soon as you end the lockdown the disease will appear.<p>The only way to eliminate the disease would have been to lockdown for a while, identify all 'forever infected' people and imprison them for life, <i>and</i> close your borders to outsiders forever.
