When smallpox was going around when my dad was a young boy and his brother caught it, the solution was to put my dad in the same bed and exposed him to it. He caught it was sick for awhile and recovered and had an immunity when it came around again the next year.
The problem is that is not over and will never be over. In today’s world there is no way to protect everyone from a virus.
Let’s hope that there is a vaccination soon but it may take years to develop and distribute. Then we’ll be hiding in our basements from the next virus and the next virus and on and on.
We may have to revert to some of the older days.
When our kids were young (in their 50’s now), the neighborhood where we lived had a dozen kids in basically the same age.
So when one got the measles or something similar, all of the kids went to that home for a measles party.
