I read an article about the 1918 pandemic. It started as a mild flu pandemic in the spring and summer of 1918 but then exploded in ferocity in the fall.

Just because it's mild now doesn't mean it'll stay that way. But if it stays mild all summer that will give us time to get a vaccine manufactured.

I read that too and hopefully they can get a vaccine done in time...although, in another pandemic in the late 60’s a bunch of people died from the vaccine..more than died of the virus. Scary times.
