The epidemiologists have long told us that a pandemic in our lifetime would be a matter of when, not if. Somehow I imagined it would mean 20% of people dying, and near total breakdown of civil order. I am grateful for how things are turning out.

Yeah it doesn't truly threaten us. But that's a much higher bar than 20% dead and total social breakdown. You are right that C-virus is pandemic on easy mode: about as mild as it could be and still become a globally serious pandemic.

I wonder if C19 is already about as bad as it gets. If it would have been more deadly, lockdowns and quarantines would have been just as effective, but happened much sooner and more decisively.
