      Many things need to go right for us to go “back to normal”. A vaccine or treatment must be discovered & scaled. It needs to be widely adopted despite anti-vaxx skepticism. Enough businesses need to remain solvent over this time. This isn’t impossible, but it’s not certain.

      seems right, but why wasn’t it necessary to end the spanish flu pandemic?

          It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States.

          Herd immunity came at around 50m dead. So, that’s how 🤷🏻‍♂️

          Right. I think they were totally different kinds of people than us.

          Many differences: - Censorship, social isolation, context of WW1 death meant Spanish Flu not as remembered - Coronavirus by contrast may be most documented global event in human history - We have internet alternatives now - Economy was very different thenhttps://twitter.com/balajis/status/1246303383377436673 …

          They also closed public life during Spanish Flu. Why didn’t that kill the economy? Some hypotheses. 1) Lockdown was shorter 2) Much less of economy was in service roles, it was more resilient and less leveraged 3) People didn’t talk about Spanish Flu, wasn’t a “social pandemic” pic.twitter.com/DAIszrBlyg

          There's a possibility (small I admit) that the risk for the economy is being overrated. Nobody knows what is gonna happen when we "reboot" the system. It may be worse than the Great Depression but the fact is, we really don't know how resilient the economy really is.

          They just took the hit and let 50 million people die. So far we haven't even lost 1 million.

          A lot of the death from Spanish flu seems to have resulted from bad circumstances rather than anything inherent to the disease itself.

          Because they got herd immunity at the expense of a hundred million people
