I sure hope you're right but outbreaks worsen exponentially and we're in the early stages.
There are 5 ways this can play out
-virus "just dies out" like influenza....possible but certainly isn't happening yet
-vaccine or cure is developed.....looking at a year, maybe more
-eradication...like polio (of course, we had a vaccine in the fight v polio)
-most of the population gets over a long timeframe so as to not overwhelm our healthcare
-or....most of the population gets it all at once and we end up like Italy <-avoid this!!
It's a fact that the death rate is higher in older people and...... we're living in geezer central, right?
If only 1/2 of us in TV get it and if only 2% die that's still 5000 of us buying the farm in the next few months.
Like I said, I hope you're right and this is an overreaction but, personally, I'm taking it seriously.
