Short of a Vax, how does covid end?

(one of the reasons for the high death rate was the doctor-recommended treatment options: whiskey, smoking, onions, and yeast cakes)
No wonder then!

I don't know. You'll have to do some reading. I think Trump said the pandemic would end last April.

If Sars-Cov2 did the same thing as Spanish flu we're in for a long road of hurt. Long-term closures of all locations for public gathering (e.g. St. Louis in 1918). Public mask wearing and banned social gatherings for 1.5 more years. Staggered work schedules. Importantly, t ...[text shortened]... leadership and a much less politicized public health approach than its sibling Kansas City.[/quote]
"I don't know"

That is the most intelligent thing you have said lately. Thanks for your honesty. I wish humy was capable of that kind of honesty.

Public education teaches you to guess if you don't know the answer, but I think it's always important to acknowledge your own knowledge gaps.

The Spanish Flu is not killing 5% of the population anymore. Why did this life threatening pandemic go away? If it mutated into a less harmful virus it may be possible that SARS2 could do the same thing in time.

Is it possible that Trump might be right when he said it would go away?


@Metal-Brain
Yeah, just a mild flu season a hundred years ago, almost 700,000 DEAD. Your empathy rating is so low it is below ground. You could care less about the over quarter million dead now, and I suppose you would agree with Eldar that the deaths reported are totally exaggerating the death count.
The truth is if anything the death count is too low.

Maybe do a little homework and get back to us? There's a whole field of epidemiology that studies this stuff.

Same advice to you.

It went away. That is good enough for me. Trump just didn't articulate well what he learned from the experts advising him. He isn't the smartest guy. You may have noticed. Doesn't make him wrong about everything though. Sometimes he gets stuff right.

IRRELEVANT? Those 700,000 deaths were ONLY IN THE US and assswipes like you thinks it doesn't matter?

Too bad it wasn't your FOLKS who died back then, you would not be here now to spout such hatred.

Covid ends when the vaccine gets universally shot into every one's arms.

You are one sick puppy. Irrelevant. One of the worse things you have EVER said.

BARR NONE.

You want to force people to take it?
