You don't work in the medical field at all do you?

@CanadianPrepper The flu is not a good analog because for one it is seasonal. Also because different strains show up from one year to the next. Perhaps if a mRNA can be developed for the flu as has happened with covid that could change.

And what alternative do you suggest?

@rext8949 Sarscor1 was a viruse that had a higher mortality rate, but much less infectious rate then Sarscor2. Thus it was controlled much quicker.

You really need to come out of closet more. Read between the lines there if you can. Have a good day.

@dantevergil645 Small outbreaks can happen in areas where a minimum number of kids were not vaccinated as happened at Disneyworld a few years causing an outbreak of several dozen.

Reporters do that because they have limited time period to work in so they have to interrupt sometimes to cover the key elements they intend to address.

Exactly! Which is the truth many anti-vaxers refuse to consider.

Good point. And one wonders how this will play out when a significant portion of a state or region refuses to get vaccinated.

@glennlgg6871 You can say if this and if that, but the bigger truth was more about no one knowing how to treat this new infection in part because it presented with such a wide array of symptoms, but also because of bungled communication with medical authorities in foreign countries like China. The Trump bears a lot of responsibility for this in actually eliminating an office in the WH that tracked potential outbreaks of a new virus around the world that could become a pandemic. That was started under Obama and of course Trump was eliminating any program started under Obama like the bitter, hateful and regressive thinking person he was. Oh and he also cut CDC funding and countered the WHO with a false narrative and completely cut their financial support as well. And of course it went down hill from until Jan 20, 2021.

@praz7 1 % of 7-8 billion is 70 to 80 million which is also unlikely. The world is "only" at about 5 % of 70-80 mil. And once enough people get vaccinated the mortality will slow considerably. Even getting to 50 % of the world vaccinated will still well into next year meaning another 2 mil or so will probably die. Then there is the unknown of a lethal variant resistant to the vaccines.

I go with 70--80 % because that's what other sources say. Realistically we won't really know until we get there and some regions won't because of resistance to getting the vaccine.
