Pandemics like this last two years. It will be over in 2022. Even without vaccine herd immunity would set in at some point. The vaccine roll out is going to speed this up, although it will take until the summer before it starts having a major impact on the number of cases
- mrfusion 6y agoInteresting. What makes you say two years?
- oxfordmale 6y agoSpanish flu lasted about two years.
- IAmGraydon 6y agoYou think this will last two years because a pandemic 100 years ago did? Do you think all pandemics last the same amount of time or...what’s your reasoning here?
- dehrmann 6y agoThe Spanish Flu didn't have as many interventions as we have now, so it was allowed to run its course. We're actually in uncharted territory right now--we've never stopped a pandemic like this before. If the virus mutates faster than we can vaccinate, we could have just dragged out the inevitable. We could have also made it endemic by slowing its spread and selected extra contagious strains. Meanwhile, colds and flus are way down, but there might be unintended consequences of not using your immune system for a year+.
