I will say this.
We’d better start planning for something like this to happen every ten years. Like planning for Hurricane Season. People are just too mobile for these things not to happen every once in awhile.
One of the problems is that we’ve had virus scares every couple of years. People have had a hard time accepting this one, because the others got managed.
But yeah, I think we will continue to have scares every couple of years. And maybe it’s another 100 years before a spanish flu or coronavirus. Or maybe it’s next year.
The plus side, is our medicine and science is a lot more advanced than it was when the Spanish flu hit. The downside is it still takes time to develop something and prove it’s effective and safe.
