There are 5 ways this can play out

-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.

150,000 divided by 2 = 75,000 X .02 = 1500 .......still a very big number that needs attention to be taken seriously. There is just no need to gamble when the recommended actions are so basic.
Yes the lifestyle will be
interrupted temporarily...death is forever...such a small price to pay.
