They get angry and blame. Bottom line, this microbe is a new one and it kills people. If we had totally locked down it wouldn't have killed so many all so soon, but then our ability to take care of ourselves, especially those with no savings would still be stymied, and that put the population at another very serious risk.
This is a complex problem with no easy solution.
I think there will be a vaccine in a few months but it will not save everyone and will not keep everyone from getting Covid-19. Hopefully at least it will lessen it's severity.

The vaccine from at least one company who is in phase three trials does prevent infection from Covid. Another in phase three not only prevents but has been shown to eliminate the virus. You can look it up. And just how many people do you believe don’t get an annual flu shot. You can go to the CDC website and find out. But here’s a stat. Only 60% of individuals 65 and older in 2019 got a flu shot. So that leaves 40% at risk. The same will hold true with the Covid vaccine and in the initial year of availability the percentage of individuals 65 and older who get the Covid vaccine will be in my opinion less than 60%.
