A pandemic was predicted many times. The last serious one was in 1918 after the first world war. Nature will always produce these situations it is the way the natural order is. The Spanish flu burnt itself out at the end and after a period of 2 years but it killed more than 50 million. Today we have the know how and the science to be able to regulate some aspects of the spread. The immediate concern must be to find a way to reduce the impact the disease is having on people. Those who are older are in greater danger. Lets just hope that a medicine can be found to make it less deadly. The vaccine will be a form of a solution but the virus will mutate so the human race will have to get used to getting vaccinated against new strains. Astonishing how we spend trillions on weapons killing each other but have not been able to control deadly viruses. Shame on our so called leaders!!
