Two years from now there will be public service announcements reminding everyone to get their flu/covid shots.
You've been downplaying this from the start. Never underestimate one's ability to refuse to acknowledge they were wrong.
In 2 months, it's already killed over 41,000 Americans, more than the annual fatalities caused by flu. And that's AFTER locking down the whole country. It has a revised R
₀ of greater than 5.7, which means it's about 6x more contagious than flu.
I've come to the conclusion that most thick headed individuals will continue to downplay this right up to the point that it hits home for them. A spouse. A parent. A friend. Or even themselves. Until then it's a hoax, or the flu, or a conspiracy to get us to brush our teeth.
Anything but a global killer.
