J, I've had little free time of late & may have read the tea leaves wrong. From the beginning we heard testing, testing, testing. Now it appears that globally the number of tests are way down. India (still gathering data) has suggested that 100 to 900 million people there, may have already had covid without knowing, given the results of preliminary tests for antibodies. They also speculated that it could take them 3 to 6 yrs to achieve herd immunity. What kind of implications does that have for the rest of the world? This may suggest that the percentage of deaths from infections may be much lower than previously thought. But to your point (I think) maybe the new course of action is to build herd immunity (to a degree) through spread & immunization, as best they can & focus more on therapeutics for the s/c. Somehow it seems to make more sense to find treatments for the 2% (just throwing a number out there) than trying to vaccinate the 98% that do not or barely know they have/had it.This is assuming that spread is rampant & PERCENTAGE of deaths is manageable.(I realize that sounds heartless) Focusing more on reducing mortality(seems like there was a trial) & less on immunity. Just throwing it out there.
