Finny Kuruvilla, MD PHD, gives an updated assessment of Covid-19 on May 14, 2020. He shares insights from the current data and a look into what trends to expect in a post Covid-19 world.

Conclusions

1. New cases have flattened and are now slowly declining.
2. Many more people have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 than previously thought.
3. This means that the case fatality rate is much lower than previously thought.
4. This supports a steady and measured re-opening of the economy, while shielding the vulnerable (elderly, sick, and immunocompromised).
5. Covid-19 has accelerated pre-existing trends, exposed weaknesses in the global economy, and has created new trends.
6. These trends offer opportunities for hard-working, disciplined individuals to rebuild a stronger, more virtuous economy for the global common good.
7. Perhaps this is a time to break idolatries. The fear and disruption are opportunities to bring our hearts and others’ to the throne of God.
