When is the end of COVID-19 season?
Why would the COVID-19 season have different dates than the flu season?
- pwinnski 6y agoWe have a very long history with the flu, and know that historically, the season ends around March every year. COVID-19 is new, and was barely getting started in March. Despite early claims that it would definitely taper off in the summer, apparently based on the fact that the flu does, it is not tapering off at all. We have no idea when COVID-19 will taper off, or if it will before herd immunity is reached (with or without a vaccine). So we don't know yet when the end will be, and they have different dates because they are different viruses.
