Street Talk is this: this will be a 3 year cycle of the "no fun under the sun". This will mean many things depending on what country you live in. We are now seeing more re-infections and questions of : Does this virus really disappear and later reappears.
Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses include some cases of the common cold (which has other possible causes, predominantly rhinoviruses), while more lethal varieties can cause SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. Symptoms in other species vary: in chickens, they cause an upper respiratory tract disease, while in cows and pigs they cause diarrhea. There are yet to be vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human coronavirus infections.

Sometimes the most obivous answer is the correct one:

It's rather alarming that when I searched Coronavirus on google two months ago, the wiki link I just gave was the first hit. When I search Coronavirus now, I had to actually type in "Coronavirus Wikipedia" exactly.
Whether we like it or not, the virus is here to stay, it's here to plague us for the rest of humanity, given we keep up with the way we live. Wan to know why? It's the reason for the common cold, and can develop into a serious condition known as SARS, which this COVID - 19, can, a 30% chance, given the medical history of the host. Will the next Coronavirus strain be like this one? Who knows.
Here's the cold hard truth, life is harsh, it's not all rainbows and sun shine, we should have learned this with the Spanish flu, is it worth destroying entire economies tho? Nope, I think this might be a harsh lesson for us all. And so far, mass testing might be needed so we can protect the vulnerable, segregate the infected and let the healthy work and carry on with life.
Is the hoarding justified? Are the restrictive regulations regarding HCQ justified?
Some of the latest case studies (April 9):

...The timeframes for the key points are a little different now though, I had to chop them up. In the same order of appearance as in my earlier comment:
The keypoint at 41:50 should now be in this part (warning, I'm skipping a part, for that part, see my playlist, it may actually be at the end of that part instead):

Details why this works and about HCQ already being used in India as a prophylaxis (treatment given or action taken to prevent disease) against Covid-19, also a short summary of what's been going on at the front, alternatives to HCQ if you can't get it, etc.:
You did a fine job of repeating the MSM's talking points though. Notice that none of the above is ever discussed in detail in the MSM or the majority of 'experts' and doctors talking about corona on youtube for example; they're pretty good at downplaying its effectiveness though, exaggerating its (HCQ) side-effects or dangers, as well as the supposed shortages (see 5th video above), and misrepresenting the subject*. As explained in the 2nd till 4th videos above (the interview). *: not talking about zinc or not including zinc in clinical trials and then talking about those not proving effectiveness for example, downplaying the evidence that we do have of its effectiveness by not talking about it, distracting away from and downplaying that evidence by using the term "anecdotal", then quickly switching to talking about the need for proper clinical trials, while failing to recognize botched clinical trials with less relevance than the evidence discussed in the videos above, clinical trials that either do not include zinc or azithromycin, or administered to patients where the disease has already done too much damage while this treatment works best in the early stages of the disease, or prophylactically.
Response to the touted and exaggerated side-effect or danger of HCQ when taken together with Z-Pack (Azythromycin) under very rare conditions that have never been much of an issue before in the decades HCQ has been used for Malaria prophylaxis and treatment, Lupus, Arthritis, Rheuma, and several other autoimmune diseases or irregularities caused by other medication people are on (the latter of which are now also not getting their HCQ because of the restrictive regulations and hoarding by hospitals, see video below that, but not before having seen the video about the supposed shortages to get a better perspective); 'never much of an issue' in the sense of not being enough of a justification to deny these people their medicine by hoarding it in hospitals and discouraging this treatment outside of hospitals (details discussed in the videos so far, especially the interview with Dr. Ban, but the situation is worse in some countries compared to the US he's speaking of there, at least he still gets to prescribe it, in my country a general practicioner who was prescribing it with great success got shut down by the authorities, he had no choice but to stop):
[..., Dr.Ban's videoresponse concerning Qt prolongation, not re-uploaded yet]
That's the real important news about corona that the MSM won't talk about, nor any politician, nor any but a few doctors or experts.
