I think you might have to study plagues in the past or polio or measles in the 1940s and 1950s to have something similar to what we are experiencing now. Only this time it is culling anyone with a pre-existing lung, asthma or allergy or heart problems from the main herd of people on earth.
So, what I'm thinking is that people are just going to have to get used to mass grief like we had to deal with in World War II, the Korean War and the 50,000 of our boys that died in the Viet Nam war. I was lucky enough not to have to go to the Viet Nam war myself because more boys my age died there than any other age from the draft then.
Like Angela Merkel said recently, "I expect 50 million Germans will eventually have coronavirus." which is a true statement because eventually everyone on earth likely will have coronavirus sooner or later. We are just trying to slow down the order in which that happens so human civilization doesn't just collapse completely all at once, that's all.
The reason for this is that Coronavirus is now endemic to Earth which means it will continue to be here sort of like the common cold and flu never to be completely eradicated on into history.
Every epidemiologist now expects millions of people to have coronavirus around the world at the same time at some point in the near or far future.
So, at best, all we can do is to slow this down to the point where hospitals can hopefully treat every case so millions of people around the world aren't just dying at home with no help at all.
