    In 1918, no one had a vaccine, treatment or cure for the great flu pandemic as it ravaged the world and killed more than 50 million people. Despite a century of scientific progress, no one has any of that for the coronavirus, either.http://apne.ws/dY3WMUJ

        We have blue water too. Just about as relevant as what you said.

        Coronaviruses have been around since the 1930's. MERS, SARS and COVID19 are just varieties/types of coronavirus.

        Yet @realDonaldTrump wants to "re-open America quickly". His concern is pumping up the economy to bolster his re-election chances. Not his concern: Americans' lives. #VoteBlue2020pic.twitter.com/PjaOsdB0vw

        That happened over most of 1918, all of 1919, and some of 1920. Worst for the US was October 1918. So let's see what happens. Also, there are some countries whose response to this virus has been effective. But this isn't a race. No one wants to top the numbers set in those years.

        This is why the Government always has to be prepared. The public has to be as responsible as possible in whatever protective measures work. The fact that a novel contagious virus will pop up every so often is inevitable.

        Doctors were still recommending that people smoke back then. I think we have come a long way.
