Thousand of years ago that same flu could have wiped out large percentage of population that it came into contact with. It is only because of evolution that is has limited effect on man.
In few hundred years H1N1 strain that kills us would have very limited effect on man. Thus the reason for virus to survive it has to mutate. Those reason why I’m concern what this virus will do years from now.
I’ll leave that to those that are in medical field to answer.
I do find this to be interesting discussion. Long term effect on society and how human can evolve to combat it.
Literally…fewer citizens, fuller cemeteries, lower gdp, pressure from have-nots for socialized medicine.
Doomsday prepper movement will flourish.
Far left will make a stronger move on 2A rights (…afraid the preppers will have upper hand).
More division in politics, DJT loses 2020 but just fires up alt-right even more.
Pockets of Covid will still be in corners of the world
Overtime with small microbes and viruses I believe yes.
If we find plant man on another planet in which we can survive and come back 40 thousands years later…would those that habitats that new planet be the same species as us on this planet? or would minor changes take place that helps them to better survive that planet and thous new species of man was created?
I think Bill gates has the the best idea, America shuts down for 10 week’s no exceptions. It hurts me to say this but this virus spreads to depend on social distancing and self quarantine. Maybe (Possibly) we can recover after 2 and 1/2 months but a year nope . The countries using these draconian measures are getting through it the western nations have implemented slow bleed measures that are clearly not working.
