So, to extend that to mid-2021, that would be (say) about 10 million people that have been killed or have had terrible experiences with CV. A terrible experience could be a hospital bill too big to ever pay. So, by mid-2021 10 million out of 360 million have suffered badly from CV. That is 1 person out of every 36 that you walk by in a week had bad experiences. Then count the families that have been disrupted. That would make about 1 person out of EVERY 6th person having bad experiences with CV. NOW, everyone knows a friend that has been affected by CV and we are just to mid-2021. It might be over by then, but SOME MEDICAL experts believe that CV will remain an every- year problem into the future????

I do not expect the rate of severe complications from COVID-19 to remain consistent. From my own observations, most of the people who are coming down with this virus are asymptomatic or only have very mild cold like symptoms. That indicates that the people who are suffering severe complications from the virus are in some way susceptible to getting seriously ill from it. Usually that means they have other fairly serious health problems that make them more vulnerable to getting sick from any virus not just COVID.
