So, that PATIENCE will pay off in mid-year 2021 when the anti-virus will be ready to inject in any and all. Won't do any good to those who have already died or have horribly ruined lungs or kidneys or liver or arteries. Those, my friends, are SO worth not getting. God help us all.
You replied to a post that said "based on testing............". That is absolutely correct. The more antibody testing that is done, the more people we will find have had the disease but were asymptomatic. The more active virus testing that is done is also finding people that are positive and are asymptomatic. These statistics will drive the mortality rate way down from were it is now. So......yes, this virus may turn out to be not nearly as deadly as it looks now. Thus, Covid will probably be like the flu when it comes to mortality rate. Covid is more contagious however, so Covid may have many more people infected but are not impacted by the virus.
