“.... The question is asked what is the best way to return everything to normal. The answer is not complex.

Develop a cure that is as effective as antibiotics were in the early 1950s treating bacterial infections...”

Bushiite. Just end it. The lethality of this is the same as the flu in a typical year. It’s killing our country. The cure, not the disease.

Hide under your bed if you want.

Basketcase The lethality of this is the same as the flu in a typical year

the USA deaths from influenza in 2018-2019 were 34,200 deaths from influenza

2017-2018 was 61,000 influenza-associated deaths

2016-2017 was 38,000 influenza-associated deaths

2015-2016 was 23,000 flu-associated deaths

So this was on average 39,050 -- 2017-2018 was an anomaly.

In the past 6 weeks there have been 42,514 deaths. This is already over the average yearly deaths from influenza and it is on track to be over the maximum number by mid-May

So no, this is not "the same as the flu" - whatever makes you think that?
