I agree! Also, to say that this is the worst pandemic in 100 years belies a gross ignorance of history. The 1957 - 1958 H2N2 (influenza) pandemic cost 116,000 American lives (in a population half that of the US today - so today’s equivalent of 232,000 American lives) and over 1 million globally (in a world population of approximately 2.9 billion - today’s equivalent of 2.4 million deaths). By 1957-58 standards, coronavirus is quite mild.
