That's not going to happen. |
That's right, but how many will get it? Herd immunity kicks in at around 70% so there will be about 2,300,000 deaths by then. If it's just like the flu then how many get that each year? Bearing in mind we have a vaccine for the flu.
I did think that after a certain number of deaths people would begin to treat this seriously, but I'm having second thoughts. The whole issue has become politicised and rational behaviour has gone out the window. A french bus driver was kicked to death for asking people to wear a mask.

And will people like this ever change their mind?

I don't think the virus gives a rats about your politics but if your politics leads you to ignore facts you have a problem.
