"Looking forward to a Cov19 free world..." I'm more looking forward to the world regaining its sanity. There's been 3 deaths in HK, about 45 in the USA, and approx 5000 worldwide. Sad losses for all involved. However, SARS killed almost 300 in HK alone in 2003. In approx 2009, Swine Flu killed almost 20,000 alone in the US. Last year 80,000 americans died of the flu. Never mind car accidents, opiods, cancer etc, etc. The regular flu infects millions each year and killed 34,000 in the USA in 2018. I don't remember the entire world shutting down and driving itself into an economic depression. Time for most of the people to put on big boy pants and come back to reality. The biggest and most hysterical overreaction in modern times. (all numbers from the CDC website).
