Let´s put the Covid pandemic in perspective. In the 14th century, there was the Black Death, which lasted around 7 years. Estimated 25 million dead. The Cocolitzli epidemic in Mexico, 1576, killed around 15 million souls.The Great Plague of London, 1665-1666, killed around 15% of the population. The Marseilles plague in the early 1700s killed around 200,000 people. The Spanish Flu, in 1918, eliminated possibly 50,000,000 people. The 1957 Asian Flu epidemic eliminated another million or so. Hong Kong flu, in 1968, accounted for a further million.
around 40million have succumbed to HIV. According to Johns Hopkins University Covid statistics, around 6.5 million people around the world have died.
However, not only has world population survived , it has grown. We´re still here and growing at an extraordinary rate. COVID has only accounted for a mere 0.8% of the population, and there are dozens of jabs which will provide immunity these days, so it is unlikely that the pandemic will return. Human (and animal) bodies have a way of coping with, and creating immunity from diseases, and viruses, as they move from one variant to another, tend to weaken.
Every person confronts infectious diseases in a different way. Some medicate (as in vaccines), others medicate and isolate, others isolate completely, others do nothing. It´s an individual choice, so each to their own.
