No Time to Die... from COVID-19

[Labster]

If this thing spreads like influenza it should all be over by July, anyway.

Not necessarily.

Ah, we're starting off well...

Spanish Flu started in the winter/spring of 1918, mostly stopped during the summer and hit even harder in the autumn.

Nope.  I mean, the facts are correct, but you chose the most atypical epidemic I know of -- the virus evolving to become more deadly is something that happens extremely rarely.  And of course, the world in 1918 wasn't connected by routine worldwide air travel. Basing predictions off this is like predicting climate change based on a blizzard or two.

I'm sure there's an argument to be made that I'm wrong but that's not it.
