Covid 19 right now ! And post covid 19

[Mortblanc]

Just a thought, but over here we were sitting at around 60k deaths from regular flu during the 2019/2020 season before CV made its appearance, which means we were on track for 100k deaths from regular flu in the U.S. this year up to this present point.

Did the regular flu mortality numbers just get absorbed into the CV numbers?

We cringe at the thought of continued deaths due to CV but flu deaths are a standard mode of death for elderly people and infants world wide and we have become used to the toll.

Once this "crisis" wave is over do we just absorb the CV impact as a normal means of mortality?

Do we go into "lockdown" each year when the death toll, or infection toll, world wide hit "pandemic" status. "Pandemic being a very loosely defined term. In 2009 20% of the world population contracted H1N1. Now that is a pandemic, and the world did not stop turning as it did this year.

If we lose 100k in the U.S. to regular flu, and 50% of the people still refuse to take flu shots, would they line up for a vaccine for CV.

We can not even get all the food service workers to wear masks when preparing and serving food, they are not sick right at this very moment so there is no crisis in their minds.

I went through the "drive through" yesterday and the person bagging the food was wearing their mask under their chin!

After all this hype, agony, inconvenience and loss of income and we still can not convince a dufus, with an IQ the same as the eyelets for his shoe laces, that they need to wear a mask.
