TV people are talking about Corona virus will be with us forever. Historically this is not true. The Black Death killed something between a quarter and a half the population of Europe back in the 1340’s. It came back at least once, maybe twice, and killed a lot more. The Black Death makes Corona virus look like a bad cold. Over the years, the Black Death lost its power to kill. It hasn’t been around in centuries. Partly this come from the survivors passing on what ever it was that made them survivors to their children, and partly the Black Death mutated in the direction of being less lethal. After all, if the virus kills its host before it has time to infect other people, it is going to die out with its unfortunate hosts.
At any rate, a lethal disease that nearly depopulated Europe 6-7 hundred years ago is not a problem today.
