Why Hasn't Anyone Talked About-A Possible Cancellation?

You’re being pretty cavalier with the numbers. With about 150,000 confirmed cases and 3,500 fatalities we’re talking about a lot more than 1%. Be all that as it may, while I realize economics are important, a 1% mortality rate is still huge when you come to understand that well over 50 million of us are going to get this thing sooner or later. Let’s just hope that we have effective vaccines before the second wave hits.

we won't. Second wave will be in the fall and a vaccine will still be 6-12 months away at that point. And many months after that before everyone can get vaccinated. I dont know why vaccines take so long to develop, but evidently they do.

the development is quick, but human trials and tests have designated wait periods and time delays built in to ensure any side effects or after effects aren't worse than the original disease. If they push out a vaccine, and 9 months from now the baby boom that IS coming ( you think this stay at home order isn't increasing our population !!!!) could see babies born with serious birth defects or other unknown complications.

An economic depression will kill far more people than coronavirus on it's best day.

The longer we shelter in homes, the closer we get to the conditions needed for an economic depression.
