Just MHO, so don't jump on me from a dizzy height!
It will be interesting to see if the seasonal flu is mitigated due to the social distancing and increased hand hygiene this year. The biggest problem with combating covid seems to be that the symptoms can be quite mild in many infected people which makes it harder to isolate and from initial studies, it looks like any immunity following infection is transient and minimal which makes a vaccine that much harder to effectively produce. At least with the flu there have been years of study and research to guide the vaccine process which is why it is semi effective now. Covid vaccine is likely to be 12 or even 48 months away until it is refined enough to have a significant long term effect (I reckon).
