The flu comes back every fall, and kills another 30k to 60k people. Nothing new here...Thats assuming herd immunity works. From what I hear its closer to the cold than the flu. Its going to be a fucking disaster if it mutates and comes back in the fall.Of course youre not going to stop it without a vaccine or immunity. However the spread could have been considerably slowed down if action had been taken earlier.2 ways out- a vaccine or herd immunity. Once it broke containment, those are options we had, and have.
They both suck, but stopping it isn't going to happen. I've been of that belief since late February....
Probably, yes, and I'm sure we all wish a lot of things had gone differently across a range of countries and agencies, but that still puts us in the catch-22 we are now in. 18 months or more to a vaccine and little to no herd immunity, maybe 10% of the population, and we need to get to 60ish to stop it.
