AND no matter who wins the election, Covid-19 will be a REAL danger to people over 70 until we get a vaccine that works or drugs that help in every case of serious lung involvement.

Compare deaths in US from flu pre vaccine vs covid pre vaccine. In the United States, a quarter of the population caught the virus, 675,000 died, and life expectancy dropped by 12 years. With no vaccine to protect against the virus, people were urged to isolate, quarantine, practice good personal hygiene, and limit social interaction. 1918 vs 2020 so yes we have beat those numbers thus far. Need the vaccine warp speed.
