Once there is a successful vaccine and treatment options for Covid 19, I have no doubt Americans will have very short memories. We will forget what we are going through at this time and it will be a distant memory. Business as usual once there is a successful vaccine and treatment for the disease.

I honestly never knew the flu killed people every flu season. I've never had the flu and barely have had a common cold in my 70 years. I can count on one hand the amount of times I have had a common cold. I guess I'm just very optimistic that life will go back to the normal we have always known once there is treatment for this virus.
